We offer 10-15 minute consultations with your preferred therapist to see if their style and personality is a good match for you. Our LMHC staff would prefer to have this call prior to an individual intake.

For all other staff, if you would like to skip straight to the intake session, this is offered as well.

Please wait for a follow-up email from your therapist to confirm that they are able to commit to the time you chose.

Types of Therapy

  • Individual therapy is a chance for you to work through whatever you are bringing into the space, with a caring non-judgmental therapist. Through long-term individual therapy, you could better understand yourself, navigate transitionary periods, improve symptoms, and more.

  • Couples therapy is for people in any stage of a relationship that could benefit from deepening intimacy and connection. We all come into relationships with histories that can interfere with the history of our loved one. We aim to understand both individuals and to support each in understanding their partner.

    Please note that not all of our counselors practice couples therapy and it is best to inquire about those who do.

  • Whether it is a behavioral issue, symptoms of anxiety or depression, social skills or otherwise, we aim to provide holistic therapy to both the child and their parent in order to support the best outcomes in the home. You are your child’s greatest resource, so it is important for parents to be in their own individual therapy as well. For children aged 11 and under, parental involvement is essential. For children aged 12 and older, our counselors keep session content confidential, unless it is a safety risk or the child/adolescent is open to sharing with their parent.

    Please note that not all of our counselors practice child/adolescent therapy and it is best to inquire about those who do.
