Our Approach
Therapy for trauma, PTSD and addiction
We help individuals heal by addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms. Using evidence-based therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), we guide clients through transformative recovery that lays the groundwork for lasting healing. Whether you’re facing past trauma, addiction, or deep emotional wounds, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique journey.
TRAUMA-INFORMED
We provide trauma-informed therapy, which means we understand the prevalence and impact trauma has on mental health, the therapeutic process, and society as a whole. Instead of asking "what is wrong with you?" we ask "what happened to you?" We lead with compassion and understand your past dictates your therapy journey, whether you receive trauma-specific treatment or not.

We intend to accept all parts of you in the therapy room. There is nothing too big or too small for us to work through together.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Our business is deeply committed to building strong community connections because we believe that mental health is an essential part of holistic healthcare. We have a passion for connecting other professionals with mental health services, and providing our clients with the community connections they would benefit from.
