We Meet Our Clients Wherever They Are On their Journey

We understand that pushing a client to change does little more than increase their unwillingness. Evidence suggests that working with, rather than against, clients’ resistance is optimal. The key is to involve clients at their own pace (unless medically ill-advised) to formulate their own plan of action for treatment. Change is far more likely to occur when clients muster their own (intrinsic) motivation and perceive the decision to change as their own. This is where we use motivational interviewing.

"I Can Really Open Up"

I have been in therapy since 2014, and this is the first therapist I’ve had that really helps me. I can really open up, and even on the days I don’t want therapy (when I most need it) I’m able to convince myself to go because of how helpful I know my therapist is and how understanding she is. Definitely recommend!

"Helped Me Feel Okay"

After years of trying to get the help I needed elsewhere these people have helped me feel okay for the first time in a long time. She’s funny, down to earth, and all around someone I feel like I can come to who will understand how I feel. Amazing, I’m going to keep coming here.
