WE CAN HELP
The difficult experiences one has in life can serve as the very reason one can be extraordinary. These challenges can make one feel alone in a confusing and sometimes overwhelming journey. We would be honored to have the opportunity to assist you in moving through challenges without judgement and with sensitivity to your individuality.
We have clinicians trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and with focused training in grief, trauma, and crisis intervention as well as structural family modalities, and adolescent specific needs. We also offer Department of Military and Veterans Affairs certified treatment to work with veterans of all ages and their families. We have years of experience working with anxiety, depression, parenting, pre- and post- natal concerns, and chronic and terminal diagnoses.
Our clinicians primarily use a conversational style and offer feedback when appropriate. We provide education for clients because we believe that when we understand why something occurs or why we are experiencing things in the way we are, we can feel more empowered toward change, forgiveness, and understanding of ourselves and others.
