Our Approach to Therapy

Trauma-informed care tailored to you.

Our approach blends time-tested therapies with modern techniques to meet your needs. We draw on psychodynamic and behavioral frameworks, DBT, and person-centered methods—always grounded in trauma-informed care. There’s no one-size-fits-all here: each therapist tailors treatment to meet you exactly where you are in life. Therapy is a collaborative journey; together with your counselor, you’ll set goals and co-create a plan that resonates with you. Your voice matters at every step, and the work is built on trust and understanding.
