About Us

Our Approach

We believe healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
That’s why we collaborate with you to find an approach that aligns with your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences.

Our therapists are trained in a range of evidence-based and holistic modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns.
     
  • Motivational Interviewing: Partnering with you to explore and strengthen your motivation for change.
     
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A powerful technique for processing trauma and reducing emotional distress.
     
  • Narrative Therapy: Rewriting the stories we carry to support healing, empowerment, and growth.
     
  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Exploring past experiences to better understand present patterns.
     
  • Somatic Therapy: Tuning into the body’s wisdom to release stored tension and trauma.
     
  • Strength-Based Therapy: Centering your resilience, inner resources, and what’s already working.
     
  • Trauma-Focused Therapy: Providing compassionate, sensitive care that honors your safety and healing.
     

Together, we’ll find the therapeutic path that feels right for you.
