Psychotherapy addresses your mental health and overall wellness. By working with a therapist, you are introduced to the power of your own internal navigation system.

Psychotherapy typically looks like a scheduled time to talk with your therapist about your struggles and your goals. Therapy helps people cope with life transitions and stresses, regulate their emotions, build strong relationships, and ultimately lead a happy, fulfilling life. Psychotherapy is a great opportunity for deep and long-term healing so that you’re able to live your best life.

There are many different types of psychotherapy. Our therapists each have their own style and approach to therapy. Many of our therapists use a mindfulness-based approach in conjunction with modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Some of our therapists integrate psychodynamic theory, or treatments like EMDR, Safe and Sound Protocol, and Internal Family Systems into their work with clients. If there’s a certain type of psychotherapy you’re looking for, we can help match you with a therapist who specializes in it.

Everyone can benefit from psychotherapy, but if you’re feeling down, have low energy, or like life is just too hard - psychotherapy is right for you. It’s a service that allows you to thrive and feel great in your life.

The benefits of psychotherapy are very effective when you are open and willing to participate in your healing. You can feel immediate results from having a supportive space that is solely focused on empowering you to feel your best.

In this space, you and your therapist will create a relationship that allows you to develop a deep and compassionate understanding of yourself, others, your life, and the world around you.

Art therapy can work for anyone!

Yes, with some exceptions. Providers within the practice are able to discuss your care with other providers in the practice in order to provide the best care for you. Similarly, some of our providers are under supervision and regularly speak with their supervisor about their client sessions. Otherwise, there are 3 situations where we would have to break your confidentiality. These include if we learn of any potential child or elder abuse from you, we determine that you are at risk of harming yourself or someone else, or we receive a court order for your medical records.

That’s common! Our therapists are skilled at meeting you where you’re at and moving at a pace that feels right for you.

Your first session of Art Therapy will be a time for your therapist to get to know you. During art therapy, you may leverage several different art materials, such as paint, clay, collage imagery, fibers, and more, depending on your interest or comfort level. Your art therapist may make art alongside you or collaborate with you on artwork if you would like that support. You may also talk during the session and also use the time to verbally process the art you create.

Any good relationship can take time to build! This is also unique to each individual person. However, one sign that your therapist is a good fit is that you feel good about the work you’re doing together. The work won’t always be easy, but it’s a good fit if you can see the benefits and progress you’re making together.

You will notice shifts in your daily life. You may find problems are easier to solve, that you’re less bothered by things that you used to get hung up on, or you might find it easier to acknowledge and hold space for your emotions. There are a lot of ways you can tell therapy is working and most of them involve that you start to feel better! It will take some time, effort, and a willingness to look at the big picture of your life. Some shifts will be ground-breaking and some will be more subtle–therapy is working if you can start to celebrate both small and big progress!
