Therapy services
Providing real change with specific strategies.
Your therapy, either in-person or virtually, will give you a safe space to be vulnerable, to be honest, to figure out why and how you got to where you did, and ultimately figure out what to do about it. There are real reasons to explain your symptoms, your challenges, your conflicts, and why you are sabotaging or underperforming in your life; at school, at work, with friends, with family, with your partner and there are real steps to take towards change.
Our job is to facilitate a process for you that is personal and effective towards healing from the past pain, building here-and-now strategies to reduce reactions that are working against you, and ensuring you have the tools towards reaching the goals that are important to you. We work with your strengths and resilience to not only recover but also give you reliable techniques to begin using now with psychotherapy.
The availability and partnership we have with Psychotherapy Matters is also an important aspect to our practice since we can integrate psychiatric consultations for our clients so they can avoid long waiting lists.
