Why struggle through life's challenges alone? Why not seek help today. I believe that each individual client has within themselves the power to change, live their ideal intended life, and maintain satisfying relationships. The counseling experience should provide an environment that is supportive, nonjudgemental, safe, and encouraging. Over my 15+ years of experience I have been known to challenge my clients to confront their issues, and develop the inner fortitude to deal with life's many challenges. If you're dealing with grief from the loss of a loved one, trauma, battling depression, anxiety, or stress, I can help.
I have a passion for helping men find the emotional support/outlet to deal with their historical traumas, anger, abuse, and other concerns. I also specialize in helping other helpers and have been described as the therapist's therapist. I offer full-day EMDR intensives for current clients of Imara and others who are actively in therapy elsewhere.
The ONLY way we take new clients is through our website's new client enrollment form: www.imaracounseling.com/contact. You can also read about our other 26 therapists by visiting www.imaracounseling.com/ourteam. We respond to all inquiries submitted on our website within 24 business hours.
