People come to us with a wide variety of concerns. We often work with relationship issues, life changes, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Sometimes people come to us when they just aren’t feeling like themselves and there isn’t one specific cause.

The first session is called an intake session. Prior to the intake, you will complete some paperwork online on the client portal. At your appointment, you will meet with a therapist for 80 minutes. You can discuss anything you want with this therapist including but not limited to: your symptoms, your past experiences, your goals. If you are not yet ready to discuss something, you can wait until you are ready. At the end of the session, you and your therapist will discuss next steps such as scheduling.
