About
We Are Here to Help
The practice offers therapists with years of clinical experience and our motto is, "Willing to help those who want to help themselves." It is important to us that you feel a non-judgmental, safe, and trusting therapeutic environment so that treatment is effective. We work for our clients well-being, not for us. Our dedicated staff has gone into the field of counseling because they believe in it, but more importantly, they believe in YOU even at times when you may struggle to believe in yourself. We can help you gain insight toward the root causes and thought patterns that are causing active symptoms, emotional discomfort, and behaviors. It is only when the root of the problem is discovered can a solution to fix it be worked on. The therapist will never judge you based on your history, presenting problem, ethnic background, culture, or sexual orientation. We use evidence based practices to treat various clinical syndromes and help guide clients to recognize the potential effective solutions to problems they are facing, guide them to promote growth and positive change in their life, and to live an emotionally and physically healthy, productive, and happy lifestyle.
Our Online Services
The practice offers 45 minute teletherapy (virtual) sessions, and 90 minute sessions for couples and families. At this time insurance carriers are covering teletherapy sessions either at full cost or less the copayment the client is responsible for. All insurance is verified prior to your first session. The practice also offers unique psychoeducational webinars at a low cost ($39.95) that provide accurate information on typical day to day issues people may experience. If you are interested in more in depth information or signing up for teletherapy sessions or a specific webinar, please visit the "Online Services" section of our webpage. Please note that more webinar topics are added frequently so please keep checking back to see if one interests you.
You Do Not Have to Feel Alone
If you are experiencing any type of symptoms or feel overwhelmed or stressed about a day to day problem, please reach out to us. There is no reason for you to suffer. Help is here for you and all it takes is the first step.
