Therapy Services
Talk Therapy
Talk therapy involves talking with your therapist to understand thoughts and emotions, and resolve problems. There are many types of talk therapy that therapists use to help clients.
Art Therapy
Art therapy is a technique that combines the creative process and psychotherapy to foster healing and mental well-being. Art gives us a voice when words are not enough. You do not have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy.
Group Therapy
Group therapy involves a small number of people, guided by a therapist, to meet, heal, and learn from one another. It can help reduce feelings of isolation and improve relationships with others. We offer both talk therapy and art therapy for groups.
Telehealth
Telehealth uses secure technology to provide easy and accessible online mental health services to clients. Therapy services are done through videoconferencing using any device that has access to a camera and a microphone.
Be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
- Max Ehrmann, Desiderata -
