Even in the 21st century, "having issues" still carries a stigma. Therapists are here to help you make your life better, but we are still not fully understood by the public. I'm guilty of not understanding dentists. I went to the dentist "only when" the pain was so bad I couldn't stand it, or "only when" I had to have a tooth yanked. Only in mid-life, after years of misery, did I understand dentists as being real doctors. Now, I respect the connection between healthy gums and healthy heart and I spare myself the prolonged anguish.
We help you tear through the stigma of mental illness to get to the patterns that can make life overwhelming and challenging. We specialize in relationships and family connection/ conflict in the midst of trials and transitions. Understanding transitions can get you through stressful, painful, uncertain times.
Unique to our practice is a chaplain/ therapist and an alcohol/ drug recovery specialist. We are multicultural and we welcome people of all races and ethnicity. Located in J-Town we strive to be available to the community. Help is here: Mon - Thur 7am - 7pm. Call us.
