I'm the chief psychologist at Psych Lab, a private mental health practice focused on using careful assessment and depth-oriented psychotherapy to help you achieve total health. Not just symptom relief - real mental health and well-being. Joy. Happiness. Fulfillment. Therapy at Psych Lab begins with an in-depth screening process that reveals a lot of personal strengths, needs, and personality aspects that other therapists will never even find out about. Then, you'll receive an in-depth, one-on-one evaluation to help develop that understanding into something actionable. What do we need to -do- to help you get un-stuck?
