Self Esteem

Our therapists specialize in helping clients with low self-esteem. If you lack confidence, over focus on your “negative” traits, and struggle to truly value yourself, therapy can help. Our therapists help you identify negative thought patterns and how and why they developed. A therapist can guide you in reframing these thoughts, fostering a more positive self-image and increasing your capacity to see your inherent worth. You can learn to challenge self-critical narratives and develop a greater sense of self-acceptance. Therapy can encourage you to celebrate your successes and enhance your self-worth.
Relationships
-
Whether you are dealing with difficult family dynamics, conflicts in a romantic relationship, struggling in friendships, or feeling frustrated with dating and finding a partner, our therapists can help. Relationships can be tough and confusing, and they require intentional work. But reliable, healthy relationships are central facets of a satisfying and fulfilling life. Therapy can significantly help you to cultivate more fulfilling relationships by allowing you the space to deeply examine your emotions, needs, and behaviors. This understanding enhances your ability to see yourself and your interactions more clearly; in turn, this insight allows you to communicate more authentically and to ultimately develop and maintain meaningful connections. Your therapist will assist you in addressing dynamics that can get in the way of healthy relationship patterns and explore your past experiences that influence current interactions. This process brings greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence, empowering you to break unhealthy patterns and build stronger, more trusting relationships.
Career
-
Therapy can be beneficial if you are struggling to find work-life balance, or have found yourself on a trajectory that has left you feeling uninspired, unfulfilled, and unmotivated. In therapy, you can explore your career goals, identify any obstacles or anxieties that may be hindering your progress, and gain insight into your strengths and weaknesses. Our therapists can help you develop effective coping strategies to manage workplace stress and improve communication skills, which are essential for professional relationships. Additionally, therapy encourages self-reflection and goal-setting, enabling you to align your career with your values and aspirations.
Body Image & Disordered Eating
-
Struggling with body image is increasingly common in our culture. Social media, advertising, and photoshopped images are powerful inuences on our perceptions of how a “desirable” person should look. We are inundated with messages that communicate the ‘ideal’ physical look, whether it be a slim body, a muscular shape, or having ‘no body fat.’ This cultural emphasis on appearance leads many of us to consistently compare our bodies to others’, and feel lacking when we do. Persistent dissatisfaction with one's appearance can result in feelings of shame, anxiety, and self-consciousness. These feelings can also be a contributor to developing disordered eating. You and your therapist will work together to identify the underlying factors that have contributed to these thoughts and beliefs and work to challenge and reframe the distorted image you may have of yourself. Ultimately, through the process of therapy, you can establish a healthier relationship with your body and food, and let go of comparisons and unrealistic, unattainable ideals.
Grief & Loss
-
Therapy is a vital resource when you’re coping with the complex emotions of grief and loss. In a supportive environment, you can express feelings—such as sorrow, anger, or confusion— without fear of judgment. Our qualified therapists help you navigate these powerful emotions, emphasizing that grief is a unique and important experience for each person. Within a trusting therapeutic relationship, you can feel secure in knowing that you can manage overwhelming feelings while honoring your memories.

Midlife & Transitions

Being a parent is hard. On any given day, you are faced with multiple stressors such as balancing the demands of work and childcare, managing behavioral issues, or carving out time for yourself when that seems impossible. Our therapists provide a space for you to understand your thoughts and feelings about what it means for you to be a parent, and how your own childhood experience may affect how you parent. Gaining insights in a supportive and non-judgmental therapy relationship can allow you to enhance your own emotional regulation and to feel more like the parent you want to be.
Postpartum & Peripartum Concerns
-
Therapy can be essential if you are experiencing challenges during pregnancy or during the postpartum phase. Our therapists provide a supportive space to address the emotional and psychological changes that come with new parenthood. As a new parent, it is common to face a range of emotions, including anxiety, overwhelm, and sadness, as you anticipate or navigate the reality of having a new baby.
