Journey to Healing

Expect Genuine Connection: Our therapeutic relationship with our clients is central.

We believe that healing happens through experiencing communion, understanding, and radical acceptance. We recognize that every individual has within them the strength to overcome challenges and comes into therapy their own unique stories. Therefore, our therapeutic process focuses on co-creating a space that provides safety, trust, and unconditional positive regard. Through this process we believe that every client is able to reflect and achieve personal growth without fear of judgment.

Specialties

Affirmative Therapy

A therapeutic approach that is specifically designed to be inclusive, supportive, and validating of individuals from marginalized or underrepresented groups, particularly in terms of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. This approach aims to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their identities, experiences, and challenges without fear of discrimination, invalidation, or shame.

In the context of LGBTQ+ individuals, affirmative therapy is grounded in the belief that the diversity of sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions are normal and valid, and it actively challenges societal biases and stereotypes that may contribute to internalized oppression, stigma, or discrimination.

Narrative Therapy

Helps individuals view their problems as separate from themselves and encourages them to reframe or rewrite the story they tell about their lives. This approach is based on the idea that people create meaning and identity through the stories they tell about their experiences. By examining these narratives, clients can gain new perspectives, challenge negative or limiting beliefs, and identify their strengths and values.

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

A therapeutic approach used to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences or distressing memories. It is particularly effective for young adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or other issues related to past adverse events.

EMDR therapy is based on the idea that trauma or negative experiences can become "stuck" in the brain, leading to emotional and psychological distress. Through specific eye movements, sounds, or taps, EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing individuals to integrate the memories in a healthier way.

Our Destination: Surviving to Thriving

Surviving: Living in a reactive mode, where you may feel disconnected from your goals or unsure about your purpose. Your actions are often driven by external pressures or the need to "keep going" rather than by a sense of meaning.

Thriving: Actively pursuing passions, interests, and goals that bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. You feel more in touch with your values, have a sense of direction, and work toward creating a life that aligns with who you are and what you want.
