We are a full-service psychology practice offering psychotherapy, counseling, mediation, family therapy, testing and other services. For over 20 years we have helped people like you from wide backgrounds with many different concerns who are not "crazy" or "mentally ill" but simply need help navigating a course towards a more emotionally satisfying life.
Counseling involves working together as a partnership to make sense of changed life circumstances, traumatic issues, grief, parent-child conflicts, adolescent issues and self-esteem concerns which impair our day-to-day functioning. Maybe you don't know exactly what the problem is or how to fix it.
