Our experienced team of therapists has been helping clients achieve their best self, better relationships, and a more balanced life since 2012. The more common struggles we help clients overcome are anxiety and depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. If you have been wrestling with these or other issues, we are here to help. We work with older kids (8+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Most of our therapists are EMDR trained (EMDRIA approved) and also use other effective approaches including CBT, DBT, and systemic approaches.
Some areas of specialty include challenging family situations (e.g. parenting a difficult teen, or couples recovering from sexual addiction), addictions (chemical and behavioral, e.g. sexual addiction). We also have extensive experience working with veterans, first responders, police, firefighters, and medical and mental health professionals.
Most of us struggle with anxiety, depression, and other issues from time to time. We do three things really well. First, we help our clients feel heard and understood so we can identify goals. Then we use established counseling approaches and evidence-based interventions to get our clients the results they need as quickly and effectively as possible.
