Our Services

"Whether you're struggling with anxiety, supporting a struggling teen, or healing 
from trauma—we have specialized services to help you move forward."

Anxiety Counseling

We help teens, young adults, and families manage anxiety using proven approaches 
like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and stress management tools.

With therapy, you can reduce worry, gain coping skills for panic, and feel more 
in control of daily stressors. Nearly one in three adults experiences anxiety, 
but the good news is that treatment works—CBT helps most people significantly 
improve. Ready to take the next step? Schedule a session today.

 

Depression Counseling

You don't have to keep living in the darkness.

Feeling empty, exhausted, or like nothing will ever change? Depression steals 
your energy, your joy, and makes even small tasks feel impossible.

✓ Evidence-based approaches (CBT, solution-focused therapy)
✓ Trauma-informed, compassionate care
✓ Help restoring mood, routines, and sense of purpose

Therapy works. Most clients start feeling noticeably better within 8-12 weeks.


 

Family, Adolescent & Teen Counseling

Family, Adolescent & Teen Counseling

When your teen is struggling, the whole family feels it.

Anxiety, depression, anger, school refusal, social media stress—today's teens 
face immense pressure. And parents often feel helpless, frustrated, or shut out.

✓ Safe, judgment-free space for teens to open up
✓ Family therapy to improve communication & connection
✓ Help with anxiety, depression, behavior & identity struggles

We help teens build resilience and families reconnect—creating healthier 
relationships at home.


 

Grief Counseling

Loss changes everything—but you don't have to navigate grief alone.

Whether you're mourning the death of a loved one, a relationship ending, 
a job loss, or any significant change—grief is real, and it deserves support.

✓ All types of loss honored (death, divorce, pet loss, identity loss)
✓ Culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach
✓ Individual & family grief counseling

Grief has no timeline. Whether your loss is recent or years old, we'll help 
you process pain, honor what you've lost, and find a path forward.


 

Affordable, Accessible Care

We believe everyone deserves quality mental health care. We offer flexible payment options to make counseling accessible.
