About

What can you expect when we work together?

No Judgment

Our clients are dealing with extremely painful issues and cirumstances that evoke a lot of pain and shame.

These aren’t things about which they even talk to their close friends—let alone a stranger who claims they can help—someone they’ve never met… someone to whom they’re really nervous about talking (that’s one of us, your prospective therapist).

You won’t experience an ounce of judgement when you come to our offices.

All behavior makes sense when we know the story behind it. All feelings happen for a reason, and even the darkest thoughts come from a place of pain. If we are looking at a behavior or situation that doesn’t make sense to you, it’s because we need to know more of your story—and we will discover that story together.

So, no matter the issue that brings you here…

We’ll get to know your story safely and respectfully. We won’t go too fast or too slow. You’ll find someone who knows how to help and is glad you are here.

Real Conversations, Real Feedback

We are going to see you, accurately and deeply.

Being seen like this may be uncomfortable at first. We’ll take it slow and you will be able to get familiar with your therapist as you build that feeling of trust.

When you are ready, we’ll talk about what matters—especially if it’s hard. When you’re ready, we will start to make changes that make sense and that are important to you.

A Safe Space to Feel Supported

Many people have friends who are nothing but positive and supportive.

But when you are neck-deep in unhelpful patterns… or a relationship that confuses and hurts you, feeling at war with your own body or mind, positive support from a distance can feel… unsupportive.

Many people don’t know how to hold space for you when you are angry, grieving, or confused. We do and we will.

Moving Away from Fear

How are you going to heal long-term if you are terrified about making a mistake or slipping back to old behavior?

At first, fear might be your main motivation, and it will probably get you somewhere. But compassion, curiosity, and practical changes are going to be much more useful to you in the long-run.

We will work to develop these traits within you so that you can fundamentally feel different in the life you are living.

Practical Tools and Solutions

Nothing changes unless it changes. Wanting things to be different is one of the early steps to lasting change. When it’s time to make the changes you want to, you’ll have an expert guide and a soft place to land when you are struggling.

You will be able to learn and use the right tools at the right time to help you make the long-term changes for which you are longing.

You, your relationships, and your life will be different, and it won’t be a mystery to you how you got there.
