It's exhausting being overwhelmed all the time.
Overwhelmed. Constant unease. Perhaps you struggle to fall asleep at night.
Something's off and it's as if your body has its own mind, always prepared for a battle, never able to fully relax.
Or maybe you feel it in your relationships. Perhaps you avoid certain people. Maybe you've noticed that intimate relationships are tremendously difficult for you.
You want so badly to have the relationships you dream of and can easily describe, and yet you self sabotage every time and it remains a distant dream.
You feel like a prisoner to your own mind.
Your mind can't help but anticipate worst case scenarios and you're used to expecting the worst to happen. It feels like nothing will ever actually go well.
It's so exhausting and overwhelming. And it's extremely discouraging—you can see the life you want for yourself, and yet it feels impossible to achieve.
These experiences feel so permanent.
You're not exactly sure how to move forward, but you can tell there's a lot at stake and that you don’t want to keep repeating the same cycle of fear over and over.
We believe that there is a way forward.
Healing and relief from these pains is really accessible. It just takes a dedicated, and compassion-filled process.
This is where we can help.
Healing trauma is our specialty
Our practice is uniquely suited to help you through your trauma.
All of our clinicians are trained four times per year in trauma-related areas of study, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of effective therapeutic techniques.
We view trauma as one of the fundamental elements influencing mental health issues, and we are dedicated to addressing it with the depth and care it requires.
Through our depth-oriented therapy approach, we'll:
- Compassionately explore the wounds you bring into sessions to better understand their roots
- Establish links between these past events and your present day experiences
- Provide a safe holding space that resources you to begin shaping new patterns of living
As a practice, we believe that many of life’s greatest challenges stem from underlying trauma and unresolved injuries.
Recognizing these connections between your past impactful experiences and your present experiences is crucial for achieving relief and transformation.
A Better Life is Possible
When we release trauma, you can start to achieve the feelings of relief you’ve been looking for.
- A freedom from the pain of past experiences, constantly swirling in your head and emotions.
- Being heard and having our past painful experiences witnessed by another provides much of the healing power. It’s what many of us never got but desperately needed.
- By processing trauma, you can begin to experience more peace. You'll begin to find it easier to relax. To sleep without interruption, and wake up grateful.
- When your body experiences tension or anxiety, you'll be able to understand why and offer it regulation and compassion in return.
You'll be able to enjoy yourself and your relationships in the ways you wish you always could have.
We're here to help you and support you through this incredibly rewarding journey. Let's start the process.
If you’re ready to experience real freedom from trauma, we’re here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our rates vary depending on the therapist's level of licensure. Sessions with our associates are priced between $100 and $150, while sessions with licensed therapists range from $150 to $225 per session.
We are considered "Out-Of-Network" providers, which means we do not accept any insurance directly. We've made the decision to work directly with our clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.
If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then we will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
We recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.
Otherwise you can choose to see us privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of our clients choose this option below.
Most of our clients actually prefer to work with us privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.
Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.
An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going
At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage
If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then we recommend reaching out to us page and we'd be happy to answer any questions.
Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes to one hour, although the duration may vary depending on individual needs and therapist availability. Your therapist will discuss session length and frequency with you during your initial appointment.
We offer a comprehensive range of therapy services including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. Our therapists are trained in various modalities to address a wide range of concerns and issues.
