Welcome! With over 25 years of experience, our expertise, certifications & integrative approach to counseling have helped many of our clients make truly lasting changes.
In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety. - Abraham Maslow
Anxiety, stress, depression - they can all feel like they’ll never go away.
No matter how much you try to think more “positively” - you can often end up feeling worse.
On the other hand, it can feel totally defeating when you go to reach out for counseling! Like somehow there’s something inherently wrong with you. It’s not easy to ask for help. It can feel a bit scary to reach out for counseling. We understand.
When we ask for help, it can leave us feeling so vulnerable. And taking that first step reaching out to start counseling can sometimes make you feel a bit scared or nervous. That’s normal! But, you can take that first step! We believe in the power that is you!
The problem is…without taking that first step, nothing changes.
Many of us still have our conditioning from childhood affecting us. How many times have we all been told as kids to “grin & bear it”. Or, we need to “tough it out”. Or, one of our personal “favorites”: “You shouldn’t feel that way”? Sound familiar?
Making that first call for counseling can be hard. Going for counseling can make you feel “weak”, and we want to reassure you that exactly the opposite of that is true!
Counseling is empowering. Counseling is about finding or reclaiming your personal power. Counseling is about learning to better understand and reclaim and love yourself.
Very often, our clients will honestly tell us they think “everyone should do counseling” - that’s how much better they feel!
Because it isn’t easy - It’s actually the strongest people who reach out for counseling - This really is the TRUTH!
Anxiety, stress, depression, grief - these are all so much more prevalent in today’s society. Yet - each one is highly treatable! Millions of people seek anxiety therapy, depression treatment, support for grief & loss - and more and more people are looking for integrative treatments too - each & every day.
Anxiety, depression, increased stress are all feelings that can be greatly reduced through counseling.
What are counseling sessions like? Do we have to talk about my childhood and re-hash my entire life? It seems so overwhelming!
Counseling sessions really focus on whatever issues you want - you’ll never be forced to talk about things you don’t want. Each session is 45-minutes in length and focuses on what you need the most. It may be coping skills or the latest week you’ve had or maybe symptoms you’re experiencing. It’s really focused on whatever you need each and every session with your ultimate goals in mind.
