Evidence-based treatment for various
mental health and substance abuse issues
We work with adults and offer virtual diagnostic assessment and integrative psychotherapy services to treat various mental health issues. We strive to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care in a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, seen, and understood.
Our approach is both humanistic and evidence-based, blending together elements of Existential Therapy, ACT, EFT, and CBT as primary modalities. In the words of Viktor Frankl, we believe that every person has "the power to choose [their] response" in any set of circumstances, and "in our response lies our growth and our freedom." This means, among other things, that we each have the power to choose how we interpret what happens to us and where we go from there. We believe that armed with the right tools and perspective, people have the power to greatly transform themselves and their lives for the better.
We view therapy as a collaborative process that works best through mutual engagement, motivation, and honesty. Together, we will identify and work toward your most meaningful goals by helping you gain greater insight, changing patterns that no longer serve you, and arming you with practical tools to improve your life. You can expect an authentic experience marked by thought provoking questions, direct feedback, and many opportunities for deep exploration and growth.
