We believe emotional wellness matters (a lot), and that everyone has the right to make it a priority. Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple. So many questions can get in the way. Maybe you’ve even asked them yourself: Is this normal? Can talking to someone really help me? What is therapy all about, anyway? What would people say if they knew I was going? How do I find the right therapist? Will I be comfortable there? When will I find the time? Will my insurance pay for this? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And we can help.

Psychotherapy is the intricate healing process of restoring parts of ourselves that we are struggling with. While we humans cannot choose what happens to us or make everything “right” to us, we have the power to alter how suffering affects us.
