Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad — it’s a whole-body experience that can deeply affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions day to day. It’s not a sign of weakness or something you can just “snap out of.” It’s a real, medical condition that deserves real care and support.
Anxiety & Panic Disorders
We all get anxious sometimes — before a big meeting, a first date, or a tough conversation. That’s normal. But anxiety and panic disorders go beyond everyday stress. It’s when worry, fear, or tension starts showing up too often, too strongly, or for no clear reason — and it gets in the way of your daily life.
Addiction & Substance Misuse
Sometimes substances start out as a way to cope — with stress, pain, anxiety, or just getting through the day. But over time, that quick relief can turn into something that feels hard to control. Therapy offers a safe, judgment-free space to explore what’s going on, build healthier coping tools, and take steps toward real, lasting change.
Personal Growth & Self-Esteem
You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy. Sometimes, you’re just ready to grow — to understand yourself better, set boundaries, speak up with confidence, or finally quiet that harsh inner voice. Low self-esteem can make you doubt your worth, shrink yourself, or constantly compare your life to everyone else’s. But here’s the truth: You are not too much, too little, or broken.
General Relationship Challenges
Relationships can be messy. Whether it’s a partner, friend, family member, or coworker — connection takes work. Miscommunication, trust issues, resentment, or feeling like you’re not being seen or heard can leave you feeling stuck, frustrated, or alone — even in close relationships.
Therapeutic Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. By noticing unhelpful patterns, you can learn to challenge them and make positive changes in how you think and respond to life’s challenges.
Motivational Interviewing
This approach helps you explore your own reasons for change — without pressure or judgment. It’s supportive, collaborative, and focused on building motivation from within, especially when you're feeling stuck or unsure.
Multicultural/Culturally-Informed Therapy
Your background, culture, and identity matter in the therapy room. This approach honors your lived experience and explores how race, culture, gender, and other identities shape your mental health, relationships, and healing process.
Strength-Based Therapy
Instead of just focusing on what's “wrong,” this approach highlights what’s already right — your strengths, resilience, and inner resources. It’s about helping you build on what’s working to create lasting growth and confidence.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy
TF-CBT is a specialized form of CBT that supports people — especially children and teens — in processing trauma in a safe, structured way. It combines coping skills with gentle trauma processing to help reduce fear, shame, and distress.
