Our approach focuses on addressing underlying, root cause concerns in order to create lasting change in relational and behavioral patterns. Numerous research studies have confirmed that therapies anchored in connection, insight and depth are most likely to achieve this goal.

​

Connection

 

One of the most important aspects of therapy is a strong client-therapist relationship.  The therapy relationship offers a safe space in which individuals can experience new relational dynamics and communication techniques, learn to trust, and receive empathy and support.

​

Insight

​

We help individuals understand their "unconscious" (automatic) thoughts, drives and beliefs. Increased self-understanding allows for more flexibility and freedom to make different choices and forge new paths.

​

Depth

​

The concerns that bring people to therapy are complex and multi-causal.  To fully understand and properly treat these concerns, a person's life experiences, thoughts and feelings must be comprehensively understood.  We treat the whole person, with strengths as well as areas of distress–not just a group of isolated symptoms.
