How to Know When You Should See a Therapist
We work with individuals to take a relational approach to individual adult therapy as they face the challenges of life — whether they're dealing with relationship struggles, sexual or gender identity exploration, anxiety, depression or another issue. Individual therapy gives you the chance to see your challenges in a new light and make effective changes that work for you.
