What We Help

Anxiety & Depression

Both depression and anxiety are natural for everyone to experience in some way, shape, or form at one or multiple points in life. However, we understand that depression and anxiety can sometimes become a bit too intense and stay for longer than we’d like. Perhaps you feel down and disinterested in things you usually like to do. Maybe you feel like no matter where you go, you can’t quite relax and are worried about what others might think of you. Whatever your specific manifestation of depression and/or anxiety, our goal is to help you understand these experiences better to more successfully navigate them.

Life Transitions

All people go through multiple life transitions throughout their existence. These range from moving out of the house, to getting married, to changing careers. Life transitions can be both positive and negative, and both types of life transitions come with adjustment. Sometimes, adjusting can be bumpier and more intense than we prepare for or expect. Therapy can help make these bumps smoother by understanding them better and discovering the best way to manage the journey.

Women’s Health

Women’s physical health is integral to their mental health (and vice versa!). Women’s health is a broad phrase and includes—but is certainly not limited to—menopause, nutrition, exercise, and pregnancy. All of these important components culminate into a healthy and happy life. These factors can often be fun to improve upon (such as finding a new favorite workout). However, it can also be difficult and perhaps daunting to manage these facets of health. Through therapy, we can support you in developing a better understanding of your own health (or perhaps the health of a loved one) and guide you through figuring out the right steps in managing issues related to women’s health.

Self-Esteem

Self-esteem is synonymous with self-respect: It is our confidence in our personhood and abilities. Self-esteem is not black or white, as we may have more self-esteem in one area of life (e.g., work) and less self-esteem in another area (e.g., relationships). Our self-esteem can even change by the day. Have you ever felt confident about something you can do one day and then think that you are no good at it the next day? We certainly have! And that is normal. What therapy can do is assist you in more easily riding through the natural ebbs and flows of self-esteem so that you can feel more grounded in yourself as a whole. We are also here to help you identify your own strengths and resources that might be flying under the radar or are hard to recognize since we tend to be hard on ourselves. 

 

​

Grief

Grief is one of the most complicated and difficult feelings that one can experience. Grief itself is not simply a static feeling but rather a fluid emotion and overall experience that shifts over time. All forms of grief are valid—a loved one does not need to pass away for us to feel grief. Pets passing, losing a job, fighting with a friend, breaking up with a partner, and more all usually bring up some form of grief. Sometimes, we are able to manage these highs and lows more easily. When grief becomes too much and/or too frequent and is affecting our functioning, therapy can be a safe and relieving place to process what has happened. Our goal is to help you be able to sit in the grief more easily and work through it in a more connected and functional way.

 

​

LGBTQIA+

Our staff is LGBTQIA+ affirming, and all people are welcome through our doors. If you identify with this population, you may be coming into therapy for something unrelated to the issues that those within this population often face. However, LGBTQIA+ folks often come across unique challenges associated with being a part of this population, such as bullying, homophobia, or even legal constraints. Regardless of whether you are seeking therapy for something unrelated or something that is quite connected to LGBTQIA+ struggles, we are here to provide a safe space. Our therapists purposefully elicit your story and life circumstances to better understand and navigate whatever it is that you are going through. We also intentionally stay versed in LGBTQIA+ experiences so that we have a general background and understanding of these experiences to better support you. 

 

​

Premarital Counseling

Premarital counseling is exactly what it sounds like—counseling before marriage. Clients sometimes wonder what the benefit is to going to counseling for the relationship before the marriage has officially begun. It is because marriage is a major life transitions, and it is one of the life transitions that comes with so much beauty and—naturally—some conflict. Now, this is all completely normal and can oftentimes be handled as it arises (either by yourself or even through couple therapy). However, premarital counseling is a proactive way to get ahead of some potential problems. Through premarital counseling, we help you identify important elements of the relationship that you and your partner(s) foresee as potential concerns and/or want to be on the same page about beforehand. This helps set you up for success in your relationship and prepares you and your partner(s) to work as a team.    

 

​

Parenting

Let’s face it—parenting can be tough. It is one of the hardest but most important jobs out there because it helps mold the people (our children) who are the future of this world. That makes parenting both a rewarding and sometimes (or maybe oftentimes) a scary and exhausting task. Parenting can also take many forms. Maybe you are a new parent going at it by yourself, or a parent who adopted, or a parent with loads of other familial support around you. Therapy can be helpful for a range of parents—from those who are looking to simply improve upon/explore some new parenting techniques to those who are completely burned out need a reset. 
 

​

ADHD

ADHD stands for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. As the name implies, people with ADHD usually have a hard time with focusing on one task for an extended period of time and staying organized. They also tend to be on the go and feel restless when staying in one spot for too long. ADHD is often misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed, making it difficult to manage properly on one’s own or even in therapy. If you are already diagnosed with ADHD and are searching for better ways to manage it, our therapists are here to work with you and coordinate care with other relevant providers to provide comprehensive treatment. If you are not diagnosed with ADHD but feel like the signs resonate with your experience, we are also here to help you better understand these symptoms and obtain the appropriate care. As a whole, we work with each client individually to see which behavioral methods are most beneficial to each person to manage ADHD and have it work for them rather than against them. 

 

​

Autism Spectrum Disorder

ASD is both a neurological and developmental disorder in which social, learning, behavioral, and other related functions are affected. Common signs of ASD include specific and rigid behaviors and interests, difficulty in engaging in what is considered “normal” communication with others, and heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli. It can be difficult to be diagnosed with ASD or have a child/loved one diagnosed with ASD due to the neurotypical way that much of the world functions. If you or your child demonstrate signs of ASD and it has been hard to go through life as a result, it may be helpful to be tested and appropriately diagnosed. From there, our therapy team can help you get the specific support that you need.​

Sex Therapy

Sex therapy is simply talk therapy about sexual dynamics and concerns. These can be in the context of a relationship or even just with yourself. People tend to get stuck in complicated issues in life, and this applies to many life factors. Sex can be an incredibly complicated and common issue because it’s not just about the physical aspects of self and others: It is about the mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational aspects as well. If your sexual life is not what you want it to be, it is rarely ever only to do with physical concerns. That’s where therapy can help, as therapy integrates all of the important facets—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational—that contribute to our sexual experiences and satisfaction.

Substance Abuse Support

Most people use some type of substance in their life—such as cannabis, alcohol, or even caffeine—as a source of enjoyment. It is completely normal to have a beer with your friends after work, for example. For some individuals, however, the relationship with substances is a strained one at best. If you believe that there is some form of substance abuse in your life—whether it be with a loved one or even yourself—and you are looking for support, we are here for you. Substance abuse manifests in many different ways, and we strive to meet you where you are at and understand your story. Judgement is always left at the door because our goal is to validate your experience and help you change your relationship with substances in a way you would like.
