our specialties

  • TRAUMA THERAPY

    Trauma is an emotional response to stressful or dangerous events that can cause long-term effects on your physical, social, or emotional well-being. The purpose of trauma therapy is to empower you to understand your feelings, develop coping strategies, and build healthier connections. We walk alongside you as you begin to alleviate trauma symptoms such as anxiety and depression, enabling you to reclaim your life and foster resilience.

  • SELF-ESTEEM THERAPY

    Self-esteem issues stem from an unhappy childhood, poor academic performance, or stressful events in your everyday life. Through various techniques, we aim to identify and challenge negative thoughts that contribute to your low self-esteem. This process often involves setting realistic goals, and developing coping strategies to manage criticism and setbacks. We aim to empower you to embrace your uniqueness, cultivate healthier relationships, and approach life with increased confidence.

  • YOUNG ADULT THERAPY

    Designed for individuals typically aged 18 to 25. This stage of life often involves significant transitions, such as moving away from home, attending college, starting careers, and exploring identity and relationships. We encourage young adults to comfortably address a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Our goal is to empower you to make informed decisions and to create a fulfilling life as you navigate the complexities of early adulthood.

  • POST PARTUM THERAPY

    A safe and confidential space for new mothers to express their feelings without judgment. A place for you to process your experiences, develop coping strategies, and work through any feelings of inadequacy or guilt. We support mothers after childbirth to acknowledge that the period following delivery can be both joyful and challenging, often accompanied by feelings of anxiety, sadness, or overwhelm.
