Various therapy modalities are available for those who are striving to navigate life’s transitions and overcome hardships and struggles that may arise from systemic, racial, relational, and/or traumatic experiences. Therapeutic techniques focus on self-esteem, sense of self, emotional intelligence, anxiety and worry, depression, trauma, impostor syndrome, identity development, adulting and adulthood, relational and relationship conflict, family conflict, and interpersonal experiences.  


Group Therapy

Group therapy can assist individuals who may feel isolated with the struggles that they have encountered throughout life or currently. Some insurance companies cover the cost of this service.

Environments run smoother when the individuals within them are emotionally and mentally healthy.

These services can be provided to students, parents and caregivers, leaders, staff, and/or employees. Consulting, workshop, and wellness program subject examples include, but aren’t limited to, learning skills and coping tools to manage one’s emotional health; overcoming hardships and traumatic moments; psychoeducation; forming healthy workplace relationships and culture; and getting past imposter syndrome.

Clinical supervision is available to professionals and practitioners who need to fulfill their clinical hours for professional licensing and/or therapists, counselors, and coaches who desire extra guidance in their own therapeutic work.
