I specialize in couples, children, teens and individuals. I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health, counseling helps individuals and families reach healthy functioning in their relationships with others.

Client feedback is always incorporated in order to individualize treatment.

Currently accepting new clients. Experiencing trauma +/or having a chronic illness/pain can be debilitating and affect socialization, engagement in activities, and exacerbate symptoms of mental health. When we have chronic pain, it may feel like our life has no meaning. When we age, we go through many difficult changes which can lead to us question our meaning and purpose. When we experience trauma, we can struggle to find safety, connection, and relationships can prove to be more complex.

Redmond Reams, Ph.D., provides psychotherapy based on your concerns, whether you deal with anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, or other matters. When you start counseling, you decide if you feel that Dr. Reams emotionally understands the issues important to you. As therapy unfolds, we both assess the situations you find particularly difficult and react to stronger than you might expect. Together we figure out how you can use the basis of these reactions to make desirable changes.
