Therapy involves both collaboration and active participation.

We'll explore how you think, how you talk to yourself (often times subconsciously) . We'll work to examine and challenge these patterns with evidence based techniques. Over time you’ll learn skills and techniques to help you feel better. Sessions allow for your feedback to make sure we’re moving toward a shared definition of success.

Outpatient therapy is not appropriate for all kinds of addiction.
We work with clients who are struggling with mild to moderate substance use, such as marijuana, alcohol, or habits and behaviors that have become difficult to manage. If you are using substances that may require medical detox (such as opioids, benzodiazepines, or other drugs with serious withdrawal risks), Please first seek care from a medical professional or specialized treatment program for your safety. Once you’ve received the appropriate medical support, therapy can be an important next step in maintaining recovery and building healthier coping strategies.
If you’re unsure whether your situation is appropriate for outpatient therapy, please reach out—we’re happy to help guide you.
