Psychotherapy
Our approach to therapy is one of a trauma informed perspective and is always client centered. Our team aims to addresses the whole person, mind, body and spirit and we have witnessed significant healing with this multi-faceted approach. Our goal is to work with our clients in an empathetic, gentle way where we aim to hold a supportive and patient space.
Psychotherapy is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.
Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one; and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. There are several different types of psychotherapy and some types may work better with certain problems or issues. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.
