Our Services

Therapy, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, is an empowering journey of self-awareness and growth. In one-on-one sessions with your therapist, you will explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors guiding your life. Whether you are seeking individual counseling services for yourself or a loved one or even couples counseling, our services focus on resources, strategies, and solutions to meet the mental well-being of our clients. Our diverse group of therapists can support clients addressing a wide range of concerns that include Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Career/Work, Anger, Conflict, Fear, Self-Esteem, LGBTQ+, Family Conflict, Marriage, and more. Our therapists work with individuals, children, and couples. We believe that you should connect with your therapist in a relational way and that "fit" matters. If you meet a therapist and don't connect, we want to get you with the right person with no hard feelings!

Psychological testing can sound like a scary thing, but we have Psychologists that work with children and adults to figure out what testing could be done to help find out more about behavioral, emotional, and/or intellectual concerns you or your child may be experiencing.

Let us help, we provide evaluations to assess for ADHD, behavioral disorders, learning disorders, IQ, giftedness, trauma/PTSD, autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, or other psychological problems.
