Individual Treatment Options
You Deserve To Live Joyfully And Authentically!
The first step is accepting yourself wholeheartedly and being recognized for the multi-layered person you are by others is possible.
Individual Psychotherapy
Therapy Can Offer the Sounding Board You’re Looking For. When you perceive that the world is against you, the idea of letting others know what your vulnerabilities are can be difficult. You might use the shield of sarcasm as a way of protecting yourself, but this defensiveness keeps you from connecting with others authentically. Or maybe you’re exhausted because you think that somehow you are responsible for fitting in rather than being accepted for who you are on your own terms.
Your mental health is worthy of the investment. As a society, we spend lots of money on consumable goods that the wellness industrial complex suggest will bring us happiness. However, it would be better to invest in highly-skilled practitioners who can provide you with practical and evidence-based treatments to help you work through your struggles. If cost is a concern, you can also arrange a treatment schedule that can meet your financial needs, such as biweekly visits. In addition, we accept some insurance.
Talking to a therapist won’t fix societal problems or change my work or family dynamics. Therapy’s goal is to teach you healthier strategies for coping with life’s stressors. While the stressors themselves will not magically disappear, we can help you change the way you respond to a troubling issue that may seem insurmountable right now. Whether it’s a tense relationship with a loved one or a stressful work environment, what you learn about yourself in therapy can be incredibly effective in helping you manage all facets of life.
“But I’ve had bad experiences in therapy before…”
You may have had a bad therapy experience discussing your identity if you didn’t feel understood and seen by your therapist, lacked confidence in their competence as a practitioner, or felt judged by them. Our therapists each have extensive clinical and real-world experience with queer communities, communities of color, and with neurodivergent clients. We’re also trained in evidence-based, relational psychotherapy. As human beings, we can’t promise to always get it right but we each work really hard to help people heal—we’d love the opportunity to work with you.
Evaluation for Gender Confirmation Surgeries
Many insurance companies require an evaluation by doctoral-level clinician to approve surgical and other gender-confirming interventions. Our staff of licensed psychologists and psychological trainees is proud to support you in your gender journey.
Psychiatry
For many people, pharmacological intervention is a perfect complement to therapy. A consultation with our expert psychiatric nurse practitioner can help you understand all your options to increase your mental wellness.
Does Living an Authentic Life Feel Unobtainable for You?
Do you feel isolated and misunderstood due to issues of identity or relationship challenges? Would you benefit from having a strong mental health support system in which you can express yourself authentically and sort out life’s challenges?
Perhaps outwardly it appears you have your life together. You might have a steady job, a relationship, and be on good terms with your family. But inwardly you feel anxious, ashamed, and isolated. As hard as you try to maintain the illusion that everything is okay, it isn’t.
You might suffer from depression, anxiety, or unresolved trauma but use unhealthy coping mechanisms to numb yourself or escape. Perhaps you have lingering distress following the relational trauma you experienced within your family or community at large. Perhaps you’re still carrying emotional scars from the past and feel angry and hurt.
