Services Offered
Counseling, Psychotherapy and Group therapy services
Offered through our practice are short-term along with longer-term psychotherapy services in individual or group treament. After our first few sessions we will outline a plan for the course of treatment that would prove to be most effective in helping you address your concerns. Our approach to the counseling/psychotherapy relationship is collaborative, and we encourage you to share your opinions and preferences about your experience(s). Our goal is to help you feel comfortable about sharing what's most important to you and to assist you in getting connected with someone that can help you meet your goals.
We offer a FREE initial phone consultation (15 mins).
