Our approach

Person centered counseling is offered to help you process your emotions surrounding stressful life events such as low self-esteem, challenging childhood/attachment issues, relationships, and processing the loss of a loved one. This approach to treatment includes a focus on empathy and client-led sessions during which clients set their own pace. Emphasis is placed on self-discovery, self-acceptance, personal growth, and healing, with this approach. Person-centered is found to be effective in the treatment of adjustment disorder, life transitions, and grief.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is offered to address a number of unproductive habits and psychological disorders. In CBT, an emphasis is placed on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck. This approach has been supported by research and is effective for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress, disorders. Techniques for thinking in ways that lead to mental health improvement are offered. Treatment is geared toward helping clients identify problematic thoughts and behaviors that create and/or maintain mental illness in lifestyle issues. Results are often seen in as little as 3-6 months. Clients are taught valuable skills to use in all areas of your life.
