Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression or anything in between, our team of counselors are here to help.
Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated, and not your usual self? If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
Counseling for Anxiety
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy - as opposed to anxiety medication - treats more than just symptoms of the problem.
Counseling for Trauma
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover the effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma.
LGBTQIA+ Individual Therapy
Stigma-free, affirming, affordable therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals. No judgments. No biases. Just a strong support system with open ears.
Men's Issues
From a young age, men are taught rigid masculinity – that is to be strong and to keep their emotions in check. This often leads to many men feeling isolated, anxious, and depressed. The very emotions they should seek help for, they stuff down and “go it alone.”

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?
What’s the difference between talking to a counselor versus a friend or family member?
Confiding in friends and family can be beneficial, however a counselor has the training and experience to help guide you on your mental health journey. As licensed professionals, they can approach your situation in a new way, teach you applicable skills, help you gain different perspectives, and listen to you without judgment or expectation. Furthermore, counseling is completely confidential, so you can avoid potential negative associations in your real world relationships.
Why shouldn’t I just take medication?
Medication can be effective but it alone cannot solve all issues. Sometimes medication is needed in conjunction with counseling. Your work with your counselor is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths that can help you accomplish your personal goals.
How does counseling work? What will sessions look like?
Each person's situation is unique, therefore counseling sessions will look different depending on the individual. Your therapy will begin with your counselor understanding your personal concerns and goals, and tailoring their therapeutic approach to your specific needs. Our sessions typically last one hour and can be held in our office or virtually through a secure telehealth link.
How long does it take for therapy to work?
The length of time it takes to allow you to accomplish your therapy goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek counseling in the first place. Everyone's circumstance is different and your counselor can help you develop a plan for your own healing journey.
What can I do to get the most out of therapy?
We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success. Setting clear goals, being open, honest and communicative with your therapist, as well as applying what you learn outside of your sessions will allow for a fulfilling and transformative experience.
