Do you struggle with depression or anxiety? Maybe you have many situational stressors in your life which are impacting how you are feeling? Do carry a heavy backpack from past experiences? If you answered yes to any of these, look no further! You are at the right place. Welcome to Cognitive Care Psychotherapy! My name is Dara Ritchie, owner and licensed clinician. I have over 11 years of experience in the field, providing both counseling and crisis services. Feel free to inquire about current availability through the website link!
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), focusing on the impact our thoughts have on our mood. If you have been considering doing something for yourself, psychotherapy (talk therapy) is a great means of self care for the soul!
