OUR TECHNIQUE
When the unexpected happens & the unimaginable takes over
Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with normals stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. ~World Health Organization (WHO)
The WHO stresses that mental health is, "more than just the absence of mental disorders or disabilities." Optimum mental health is about not only avoiding active conditions but also looking at ongoing wellness and happiness.
They also emphasize that preserving and restoring mental health is crucial to an individual, family and communities.
If you are struggling with mental health, you are not alone. In the U.S. upwards of 1 in 5 adults experience mental health problems each year. ~ The National Alliance of Mental Health. You should also know, in 2017 almost 11.2 million adults, that's about 4.5% of adults had a severe psychological condition. ~ The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
When your mental health blocks your ability to enjoy life, it is time to get support. It is time to get help in reaching a balance between, activities, responsibilities and effort to achieve psychological resilience.

Depending on your situation, therapy can be a fairly short-term or a longer term experience. Often, people see their therapist once a week for 50 minutes. Your first session will be different from future visits because the initial visit could be described as a "get to know you" time. Please see out FAQ for answers to common questions.
You have the right to feel safe and respected in therapy. This is priority for licensed professionals, including respecting your privacy. The same standard applies if you are meeting in a group.
