In our first session, we will discuss what issues you would like to address as we meet. We will also talk about your current life, and look at your systems of support and your stressors.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the relationship between our thoughts and our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Adjusting our thinking can often times allow us to our emotional and physical health, as well as our interpersonal relationships and self-esteem.
Humanistic
By focusing on our strengths and ability to adjust our thinking, a Humanistic approach puts your own abilities center stage to help yourself and realize your personal potential.
