We believe in "real solutions" not "mm-hmm", head nodding therapy. We are not your friends or your mother. We are professional, non-judgmental listeners. We provide feedback to the issues that you may be struggling with. We will help guide you through evidence based practice to reach your TRUE feelings...to find answers & concrete solutions. We want you to be at peace, no matter what the situation. We believe that behavioral therapy is just like physical therapy. When you work an area that has been injured, at first you may hurt, but then you get stronger. You recover, you heal.

Granite City, IL 62040
We work with individuals on a variety of different issues directly impacting their lives: pregnancy, abortion, sexuality, gender identity, relationships, and the intersection of these experiences with religion/spirituality. The things we most need to talk about are often the things that make us uncomfortable, challenge our worldview, or are deemed “socially unacceptable”. Exploring these issues and our feelings in a safe environment expands our horizons and helps us to better understand ourselves and the world around us. Learning allows us to grow and develop as human beings. Personal growth can help us heal.

In some way, life hasn't turned out exactly as you planned but you're not ready to give up. I've often found that, no matter the diagnosis, the folks I work with feel disconnected, dissatisfied, and struggle to create a meaningful life. You might worry so much about the future that you lie awake at night or miss out on special moments. You're overwhelmed and end up scrolling, numb with food or substances, or can't finish a book. You're keeping up on basic responsibilities but what you're doing isn't working long-term. Life has lost it's vibrancy. You may doubt that you can change and yet, here you are, taking that first step.
