I have immediate openings for tele-therapy (video or phone sessions) and would be honored to support you during this time of uncertainty.
At Unleashed Counseling, we lean on the healing power of nature and the mind-body connection to help you overcome anxiety and enhance self-compassion. We use practices such as play therapy (with Benji the Therapy Dog), walk & talk therapy, and art therapy, to create a gentle, joyful atmosphere in the counseling room. We create a safe space where we can celebrate you and your desire to grow.
We specialize in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, and eating disorders. Together, we can explore practical and efficient ways to manage stress, achieve goals, and create a happier, more fulfilling life. We can help you feel like yourself again.
Our practice is small: 6 humans, 1 dog, and a school of fish. But our knowledge, experience, and most importantly empathy, runs deep. Let us help you manage your stress, create a solid self-care plan, and find happiness in your day-to-day life.
