We offer individual therapy sessions designed to provide you with the tools and support necessary to manage symptoms, process difficult emotions, and build a fulfilling life.
Our Approach to Anxiety
Anxiety is a common experience, but it doesn't have to dictate your life. We utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, to help you understand the root causes of your anxiety and develop personalized coping strategies. Our therapists work collaboratively with you to reduce symptoms, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build skills for managing stress and uncertainty.
Healing from Trauma
Experiencing trauma can leave deep emotional scars. Our trauma-informed therapists create a safe and confidential space for you to process difficult memories and experiences. We employ specialized approaches, including trauma-focused CBT and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help you reframe traumatic events, manage associated distress, and regain a sense of control and safety. Healing from trauma is a journey, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way with compassion and expertise.
Our commitment extends beyond just addressing symptoms. We strive to help you rediscover joy, strengthen relationships, and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. We believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate care, and we work to make therapy accessible and effective for individuals seeking positive change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of anxiety do you treat?
We treat various forms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific phobias, and anxiety related to life transitions or stress. Our therapists are trained to understand the unique ways anxiety presents itself and develop tailored treatment plans.
How do you match me with a therapist?
While we prioritize matching you based on your specific needs and preferences (e.g., therapeutic approach, personality fit), the first step is often connecting with one of our therapists for an initial assessment. From there, together, you can decide if they are the right fit for your journey.
Is everything I share confidential?
Absolutely. Client confidentiality is the cornerstone of our practice. All information shared during sessions is kept strictly confidential, in accordance with ethical guidelines and legal requirements, unless there is a legal obligation to disclose information (such as suspected abuse).
How often are therapy sessions?
We typically offer weekly sessions for most clients, as this provides consistent support and allows for steady progress. However, we understand individual needs may vary, and we can discuss session frequency based on your specific situation and goals.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that unexpected situations can arise. Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Regular cancellations with less notice may result in a fee to help maintain a consistent schedule for all clients.
