Your Right Choice

Our goal is to help our clients feel empowered in resolving their problems.

Anxiety

Anxiety is the fear or worry that something bad will happen.

Depression

Its about hopelessness, helplessness and worthlessness.

Trauma & PTSD

Through dreams, flashbacks, and intrusive, distressing thoughts

Phobias

Its exaggerated and persistent fear of a situation, activity, or thing

Habit Disorders

Anxiety is the fear or worry that something bad will happen.

Compassionate Care for Every Mind

Individual Psychotherapy

Depression, loneliness, grief, anxiety, panic, trauma, stress, obsessions, compulsions, and relationship issues are problems everyone can face.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

In every situation, we have certain thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions. They determine how we feel in a given situation, which in turn impacts how we will act.

Internal Family Systems

It was developed over the past twenty years. Unlike many conventional therapeutic approaches, it is a non-pathologizing approach to healing.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

When we experience trauma, it’s believed that the memory of that event is stored in the right hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for emotions and feelings.
