Our Mental Health Providers

Our dedicated counselors follow the proven model of Solution-Focused Therapy. As the name suggests, this evidence-based approach is future-focused, goal-directed, and centers around finding practical solutions rather than dwelling solely on the problems that led clients to seek therapy. Our counseling sessions typically span a period of 3-6 months, during which our skilled professionals guide you towards positive change and personal growth.
