We are licensed in Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Colorado. We currently offer telehealth and virtual therapeutic services. We work with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, family relations issues, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. We combine different therapeutic approaches based on client's presenting concerns, goals, and motivation, such as, cognitive-behavioral, brief therapy, mindfulness, client-centered, solution-focused therapy.
Life's struggles can be overwhelming and challenging. Our goal is to provide you with practical solutions and tools you can apply in all aspects of your life. As our patient, we will begin services where you are, while assisting you in identifying healthy solutions to your problems.
It is our belief that most people have the ability to grow and build on their own strengths; however, at times, need empowerment and encouragement. Therapy is a collaborative process and we will assist you to learn, grow, and make positive changes that can result in a more fulfilling life.
