Individual Therapy

Establishing a therapeutic alliance is of utmost importance. Our approaches are client centered and evidence based. Clients will be provided with tools, gently challenged, so that his/her needs are met at whatever pace is comfortable. “There is no one size fits all.” Clients will learn what it is like to experience a stable and healthy attachment where they will be given the tools to transfer these strategies and life skills in the outside world.

Couples Therapy

We provide couples who are seeking support to improve their relationships. We will work to establish a safe, constructive and supportive foundation where each individual will learn healthy communication skills. Couples will learn how to turn maladaptive coping mechanisms into adaptive coping mechanisms, process feelings of betrayal, and establish a stronger, resilient and reciprocal alliance.

Family Therapy

Family dynamics and relationships can be challenging to navigate. Each member has their own personality and their own unique needs while having to cohabitate. We will provide members the space to be heard, the opportunity to identify and meet their needs, while being in an environment where vulnerability is respected and nurtured.
