Accepting New Clients: In-Person & Phone/Video. We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.
We provide a calm, non-judgmental, and supportive space for our clients to explore deeper emotions and gain insight. Further, by using a strength-based, solution-focused approach, we help our clients by collaboratively finding strategies to move forward, which is especially helpful when clients feel stuck with their mental health and relationships.
For more information on how we do individual, couple, or family therapy, feel free to view our website. Feel free to check out our videos and speaking events as well. If you have any questions, feel free to book a free 15-minute phone consultation with one of our therapists on our website. You can also easily book sessions online through our website.
