Our Therapists
We work as a team and hold each other in high regard. The culture of our clinic is supportive and strength-based.
We cultivate caring and supportive relationships within ourselves and with our clinical staff to provide high quality of service to our clients.
Our interventions are scientifically and clinically supported by theories of the human psyche and behavior.
We go beyond the prescription of coping tools or techniques by exploring the messages the symptoms communicate as they show up in different forms of emotional and physiological pain.
“Therapy is certainly life changing, yet opening up to a complete stranger it could also be an anxiety provoking process at first. Even for us therapists, when we get to sit on the other side of the ‘couch’ ourselves. That’s why I approach this space with so much compassion and authenticity, promoting a safe environment to navigate those uncomfortable topics and painful life experiences.”
