Our therapists are passionate about and have experience working with a diverse array of clients and issues. As a practice, we specialize in treating trauma and take a trauma-informed approached to our work with clients. However, we do NOT believe in taking a "one-size-fits-all" approach to the therapeutic process and find that an over-reliance on rigid or manualized treatments can interfere with the ability of therapists to develop a deeper understanding of and therapeutic connection with their clients that research has shown to be vital in helping clients to experience the healing, growth and change in therapy. In order to treat "the whole person," rather than just their symptoms, we strive to deeply understand their unique individual and collective experiences and identities and the role that broader social, economic, and political systems play in their everyday lives. In taking the time to gain a deeper understanding about the context of the issues and concerns our clients are facing, we are better able to "meet clients where they're at" and understand what's most important to them in life and what they want to get out of therapy. As we come to better know and understand our clients, we work with them to identify and develop goals that are relevant and meaningful to them. In order to best help our clients reach their goals, our therapists draw from relevant scientific research as well as their clinical experience and training to provide clients with the best possible treatment options available to them. Although the journey to healing, growth, and change can be difficult, or even scary, we have been there before and are there to help you each step along the way!
