First of all, we treat people. And people are much more than their symptoms or diagnoses.
Let’s be real—being human is hard. You have thoughts, feelings, emotions, relationships, experiences, and stressors all the time. That’s natural, yet it isn’t easy. Moreover, in our culture, we often get the message that our humanness is “wrong.” To make matters worse, we aren’t taught the skills we need to understand and care for our own nervous systems. As a result, this can lead to uncomfortable symptoms and mental health dysregulation. When you factor in genetic predispositions, hormones, and other health conditions, it’s no surprise that some of us develop mental health disorders.
It doesn't have to be this hard.
Depression, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, or general feelings of being overwhelmed can lead to both physical and emotional symptoms. Consequently, these struggles can affect self-confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.
- Longer appointments mean we will take the time to fully understand your past experiences as well as your present circumstances. This way, we can gain a more complete picture of your journey and provide care that truly meets your needs.
- We are going to look at both the big picture and the smaller details, because understanding your whole story requires attention to every aspect of your experience.
- We’ll be honest—some symptoms and conditions are best treated with therapy, while others respond better to medication. In many cases, a combination of both can provide the most effective results.
- At the end of every appointment, you will have actionable steps in your plan to help you continue growing and improving between sessions. To support this, we regularly provide handouts, guides, and supplemental resources to reinforce what you’ve learned and keep you on track.
