In your first few sessions, your therapist will gather information about your specific concerns and collaborate with you to identify meaningful goals towards living your life with more fulfillment. Over time, you will talk about the hard stuff together, examine the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and explore the most effective coping skills for your concerns and lifestyle. During this process, you will gain a better understanding of yourself, as well as your personal history. The pieces will start to come together. Life will start to feel more manageable. You will learn how to tap into the skills, resources, and tools within yourself and within your environment to enhance your overall well-being and life satisfaction. Sounds pretty cool, right?
Each of our clinicians feels extremely honored to be involved in this important work, and we do not take it for granted. We are life-long learners and are committed to staying up-to-date on current research and utilizing evidence-based practices to give you the best quality of care possible. Our team truly values the opportunity to provide a comfortable, supportive, confidential space for our clients to unpack and explore their life experiences. We pride ourselves in cultivating authentic, meaningful relationships with our clients – the kind of relationships that help our clients safely lean into the emotions or thoughts they might struggle processing or dealing with on their own.
We know it may feel weird at first to share your life stories with a stranger, but that is arguably one of the best parts of therapy: the opportunity to talk freely with a neutral, unbiased professional who cares about your growth but isn’t personally invested in the situation(s) at hand! (#nojudgement).
Whether you were referred to our practice directly or you have already spent countless hours googling different therapists online, we hope you feel comfortable here and decide to explore the unknown with us.
