Adults of all ages and cultures can often benefit from mental health services at some point in their lives, especially in difficult times like we have been experiencing recently.

The support of an empathic and well-trained therapist can help you to overcome challenges and work towards your goals, whether you are a young adult, a caretaker or parent raising children, middle-aged, or coping with issues relating to aging. Just entering into the psychotherapy relationship can help you feel less alone and more hopeful about the future. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, life transitions, emotional reactivity, grief, parenting, work or relationship stress, body image, gender identity or sexual orientation, sexuality, acculturation, low self-esteem or many other issues, our trained counselors would like to support you.

The support of an empathic and well trained therapist, who works in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment, can help to support children and their caretakers to decrease suffering and distress. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or is adjusting to divorce, acculturation, new school, or other issues, we would like to support you.

Younger children often don’t have the language to express what they are feeling, so trained therapists can use therapeutic play or art to help children to express what’s upsetting them.

Older children may be able to use conversation, as well as play and expressive arts, to express themselves.

Caretaker/therapist meetings can provide a place to come up with effective strategies that work well to support children through their struggles, and to help caretakers to feel less stressed and overwhelmed with the demands of parenting, and with other life stressors.

Group therapy is an affordable and effective form of treatment in which a small group of participants and one or more facilitators meet to interact and discuss a variety of different topics.

A few notable benefits of group therapy are:

• Groups can serve as solid sounding boards, and function as a support network.

• Gain a different perspective from listening and engaging with other points of views, as well as discover strategies for facing your own challenges.

• Find relief in sharing with others similar concerns, and knowing that you are not alone in what you are experiencing.
