Pierce takes special interest in Brainspotting and working with trauma. Brainspotting allows for deeper level processing through the body’s innate natural healing processes. Pierce believes we all have innate skills, but we are not always equipped to use those skills needed. Pierce’s number one goal is to create a safe space for those I work with while working towards the clients’ self-inspired goals. “All I ask is for you to come as you are and be open.”

Therapy is not education or advice-giving. People are unique, so elements of therapy are tailored because healing is different for everybody. My treatment approach is an atmosphere were you can speak your mind safely, to someone who listens, listens intelligently, and cares is important. I believe a successful counseling experience depends on the therapists ability to understand and respect the unique concerns, background, and context of each patient. I am committed to achieving such an understanding in every counseling relationship.

Finding solutions, achieving goals, discovering strengths, improving relationships - to reach such positive objectives, I use an integrated therapeutic approach that draws upon evidence-based treatment interventions and creative modalities tailored to the unique needs of the individual. With over 20 years of counseling experience, I work with a broad spectrum of clients and client issues: ADHD, anger management, anxiety, adolescent/parent conflicts, family therapy, couples counseling, grief and loss.

Congratulations on taking the first steps in your therapeutic journey. My name is Wala-Neh Labala and I am a licensed certified clinical social worker. My approach to therapy is an holistic one in which I examine body, soul, and spirit. Therefore as a professional, I place a high degree of importance on fully exploring my clients in a holistic manner. I believe that biological problems are often misdiagnosed as mental health issues; and, sometimes deeper spiritual issues if looked at as only mental health issues are insufficiently treated on the surface symptom level rather than at t the source where healing can occur.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of adolescents and adults with challenges associated with emotional regulation and a wide range of personal, social, and developmental issues. I practice psychotherapy using an integrative theoretical framework that combines elements of interpersonal process psychotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy.

To me, an ideal client is a person who wants to live a fuller and deeper life through self examination. I believe that sitting and talking issues through with an objective third party can enable a client to see things in a new perspective and achieve more satisfaction in life.
