I'm looking for balance; Life feels chaotic right now; I'm constantly feeling triggered and don't know how to stop it. If these are thoughts you have been having, we can help. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, postpartum transitions, substance use, or simply feeling stuck in life, we have the tools and techniques to support your growth with clarity & compassion. We see people ages 15 and up, and can help you get back to feeling like the best version of you - or meet this person for the first time!
Our toolboxes are deep and include approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Brainspotting, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and more. We want to help you look back on your life and feel it was one well-lived. We want to help you heal from your past so you can move forward.
We get that change is intimidating and even positive changes can lead to feeling grief. The patterns you are stuck in both serve and hinder you, and it's not always so simple to figure out your next steps. Reach out to us today and we will meet you where you're at and take you in the direction you want to go.
