Who We Help

Individuals

We provide highly effective treatment strategies in order to help our clients build new skills, improve quality of life, and gain a deeper understanding of their struggles. Individual counseling also allows for self-exploration and resolving internal struggles.

Couples

We provide short-term counseling to support couples understand and resolve problems, gain a new perspective on current challenges, learn to communicate effectively, and resolve conflict in a healthy manner. Couples counseling seeks to promote strategies to nurture the relationship and find new ways to connect.

Families

We provide treatment to support families with issues that specifically affect their mental health and functioning. Family therapy provides guidance in building stronger relationships and encourages open lines of communication. Families learn effective strategies and techniques to resolve conflict.

What Drives Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a high level of care to our clients.  We hope to lend a genuine, compassionate, and forward-thinking approach in supporting our client’s emotional well-being.

It’s Not as Bad
as You Think

Counseling is a step towards exploring thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behaviors.

Self-exploration and self-awareness can be a result of the therapeutic process.

“One of the hardest jobs is the internal work we do on ourselves. We hope to give our clients the guidance, a sense of  trust, as well as safety in order to do that.”
