Natalie Quinn
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LISW
Verified
Day to day life can be challenging! When you add symptoms of depression, anxiety or have experienced trauma or hardships this can make day to day life even more strenuous. Naturally we are not born knowing how to navigate stressful, traumatic, losses or a flood of various strong feelings alone. Attempting to navigate or short it out yourself can result into a vicious cycle. I view a therapeutic relationship as a collaboration, where together we process how your personal qualities, values, strengths can be an assistance to you.
Sara Tawil
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LMHC
Verified
In my extensive experience, I guide clients in developing their inner strength, awareness, and wisdom in a non-judgemental manner. Often, fear leads us to produce what we fear most, which results in an unhappy and vicious cycle. In working together, the aim is to uncover dysfunctional patterns that are contributing to, or even perpetuating, your challenges. As part of the treatment process, it is imperative to remove both internal and external barriers. We believe that this will allow clients to cope with their extreme anxiety, and foster an environment that allows them to engage and function as their authentic selves.
