Specializing in Kids and Couples
Anxiety
Anxiety can be overwhelming, but with the right support, it can be managed. Our therapy sessions provide a safe environment for individuals to explore the root causes of anxiety and develop coping strategies for a calmer, more balanced life.
Depression
Depression can feel isolating, but you don't have to face it alone. Our tailored approach to depression therapy aims to help individuals regain hope, find purpose, and develop the skills to navigate through life's challenges with resilience.
ADHD
ADHD is a highly misunderstood neurodiversity. Our approach is to use evidence based methods for diagnosing, treating and actualizing the unique potential of every person who either has ADHD or who lives with a loved one with ADHD.
Trauma
Trauma can have lasting effects, but healing is possible. Our trauma therapy focuses on creating a sense of safety, processing emotions, and building resilience to move forward with strength and hope.
Therapy for youth
Childhood and adolescence can be a challenging time. Our therapy for kids and teens provides a supportive space to navigate complex emotions, build self-esteem, and develop healthy coping mechanisms for a brighter future, both individually and within the family.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy provides a safe space for partners to explore challenges, enhance communication, and rebuild trust. Our goal is to help couples deepen their understanding of each other and create a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship.
