Life can get complicated, and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, and 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!
Our team of clinicians specializes in treating addictions, relationship problems, mood disorders, and traumas and helping clients find direction in life. We believe change is accomplished by gaining insight into the underlying causes of problems, becoming aware of and connected to feelings, and learning new coping skills for the ups and downs of life.
Therapy should be a safe place to be vulnerable and challenge yourself to go deeper. That is why our counseling approach is grounded in creating an authentic, supportive, and empathetic relationship with clients. Our approach integrates aspects of Buddhist philosophy, spirituality, and inner child healing.
