Individual Therapy
Choosing therapy is a proactive way to address challenges, foster personal growth, and gain valuable insights into yourself. People seek therapy for various reasons—some need support with anxiety, depression, or ongoing emotional struggles, while others find it helpful during major life changes like a career shift or relationship ending. Therapy provides a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings with the guidance of a trained professional, learning tools and strategies to manage stress, grief, self-image issues, and more. It’s ideal for anyone looking to create positive change, boost self-awareness, and take charge of their own personal development. Even if you’ve handled difficulties on your own before, therapy offers additional support and
practical skills for handling life’s challenges. Seeking therapy is a strong step toward self-care, showing a commitment to personal well-being and a healthier future. Over time, you’ll gain lasting benefits, such as recognizing and managing emotional triggers, breaking out of negative patterns, and feeling more empowered. Each session is tailored to your needs, with flexible options for short-term focus or long-term personal growth, all geared toward helping you build the life you want.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy offers a contained space for partners to navigate the complexities of their relationship and understand why some particular fights are unending. Whether you're facing communication challenges, frequent conflicts, infidelity, or feelings of disconnection, our skilled therapists are here to help you understand each other's perspectives or what gets in the way of seeing one another's perspective. We will also gently call attention to behaviors that are non-starters in service of creating the relationship you deserve. We use the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, and psychodynamic and systems theories. By working together, you can learn effective communication strategies and conflict resolution skills that will benefit your relationship for years to come.
We believe that every couple has the potential for growth and healing, and our goal is to support you on that journey. Take the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling partnership—contact us today to schedule a complimentary 15 minute consultation.​
Men's Therapy
One of the unique areas of focus at our practice is therapy for men. Therapy is for everyone, however, therapy has been traditionally attended by women. We want to change this pattern by setting ourselves apart as one of the premier places men can go to for a chance to work on themselves.
​
How is therapy different for men? Research has shown that more active approaches can be helpful while also learning to develop a greater emotional vocabulary and awareness. More importantly, therapists who are informed in men's mental and physical health issues are likely to be knowledgable of how men are uniquely shaped by the world they live in and how they can take action towards better relationships, health and mental well-being.
Online Therapy
Online therapy has been shown to be as effective as in-person therapy while offering convenience. With the flexibility of virtual sessions, you can access professional support from the comfort of your home or wherever you are. Our secure tele-health platform allows you to prioritize your mental health even when proximity, schedule, or travel make in-person appointments difficult. Virtual therapy can be especially beneficial if you work long hours, are a stay-at-home parent, have limited mobility, or simply find it challenging to get to our office.
Research highlights that online therapy can also reduce barriers to seeking care, supporting greater consistency and engagement in the therapeutic process. We are here to make quality counseling accessible, so you can receive the help you need in a way that best fits your lifestyle!
