During individual therapy the client is supported one-on-one by the therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. We assist the client as they create lasting change in their lives and relationships. Small changes can bring big results.  

It is important to know that therapy is not a quick fix or an instant cure. Therapy is a healing process that requires dedication and participation from the client and the therapist. In therapy the most important factor is the therapeutic relationship. Clients work with the therapist to explore thoughts, feelings, relationships, habits, and experiences in order to gain better understanding. Our practice implement effective methods to guide the client to determine which aspects of life are beneficial and which can be changed.

Every stage of life has unique challenges and we are here to support you through them.

Children and Adolescents

Children often encounter many of the same difficulties as adults. These issues include stress, life changes, anxiety, depression, and grief. While the issues or the circumstances may be the same as adults, children process their internal existence and the external world differently than adults depending on their developmental stage.

When left untreated, a child’s emotional and psychological distress are likely to impact many facets in life. These can include educational progress, personal aspirations, and developmental milestones. In some cases these issues can span well into adulthood.

The aim of child therapy is to help both the child, their family, and extended support system understand the child’s current state and how to work as a collective to create and sustain a healing process. It is often that childhood difficulties exist in many facets of a child’s life. This means that the solution will likely need to be addressed in both the family and community systems.
