The Therapeutic Relationship is everything!

Research consistently says that the biggest and most effective change maker in therapy is the bond between the therapist and client. We will always do our best to feel welcome, comfortable, and safe and you are free to come as you are.

You will always be met with kindness, validation, compassion, non-judgment, and positive energy in sessions. We will help you gain awareness of your strengths and how to tap into those, as well as also gently challenge you to take small, doable, and gentle steps towards the changes you deserve.

Also, don’t be surprised if we find ourselves having fun and laughing during sessions as humor is also a big part of this process towards healing as it provides perspective-taking and builds resilience! Through our relationship, you will be able to build more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. Collaboration is key!

 

Culturally Responsive, Culturally Reflective, & Culturally Compassionate Care.

We are dedicated to building a welcoming, respectful, inclusive, and celebratory place for individuals of all identities and backgrounds regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, ability, immigration status, and/or religion. 

We strive to engage in anti-racist, culturally responsive, humble, and affirming interactions at all times. We also understand the stigma of mental health in various cultures. We hope to bring more awareness and understanding of psychological wellness, gently challenge stigma, as well as continue to use our individual and collective voices to advocate for broader systemic changes and justice.

 

Best Professional Practices.

Even though research shows that therapeutic relationship is the key change maker, we also understand that there are certain evidence-based practices that are super effective in treating certain difficulties.

Our clinicians have been trained in several helpful treatment practices and will integrate these into their work as appropriate. Our clinicians are members of local and national professional associations, and our team is constantly reviewing literature to make sure that we providing the most innovative, efficient, and effective treatment. If you need something beyond what we are able to provide or that is outside of our scope of practice, we will do our best to provide you with appropriate referrals and resources.

It is also important that services are accessible and that barriers to treatment are limited in our work with clients. Utmost care will be taken to ensure that treatment is private, confidential, and ethical. Lastly, clients will find in-person sessions to be in a clean, comfortable, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing office environment and we will also do our best to ensure ease of accessibility and comfort during telehealth sessions.
