About Our Center
Finding the right therapist can feel like a challenge
The connection between the client and the therapist is a foundational part of successful outcomes. You want a therapist who understands your struggles and who has a track record of helping clients reach their goals. You deserve to work with an expert, but also someone who makes you feel comfortable and safe. As you look over the website, we hope you will get a sense of who we are. But just as important as the services we offer, are the values that guide our center:
● We believe every human life includes moments of suffering and imperfection, moments of unbearable pain that we somehow must find a way to bear.
● We believe there are skills you can learn to help you feel more competent at handling the curveballs life throws your way and the emotions that can overwhelm you.
● We believe you have the resources and answers you need inside of you, and we are here to help you uncover your own inner wisdom.
● We believe adopting a curious, investigative mindset about the connections between your emotions, your thoughts, and your actions will give you information you can use to make small changes in the direction of your goals.
● We believe everyone is inherently worthy of love and connection no matter what they have done or will do.
● We believe therapy has the potential to change the course of your life.
Here is what to expect when you reach out to us:
We will schedule a 15 minute phone consultation free of charge. We will ask you a little bit about what is bringing you to therapy so we can understand your needs and determine how we can help.
We will also answer any questions you have about our center or about therapy in general. You can find some of this information on our FAQ page.
The next step will be to schedule your first session. During this session, we will ask you a lot of questions about what is going on in your life and what goals you have for therapy. We will also ask about key details from your past. We will use the first few sessions to continue to get to know each other and settle on your initial goals for therapy. Then we will help you achieve them.
