About Us and Our Clients

We value the research-based and evidence-based methods we specialize in.

We discuss our approaches with you before beginning treatment and during the course of therapy. It is important that you know the “why” and the “how” of therapy and that it makes sense to you so that you can take this information forward after you leave the therapy room.

You have the life experience and desire to make changes ...
We have the experience, training and specialized knowledge to help you make them.
