ABOUT US
After 20 years as therapists, we know the common struggles and challenges that can affect nearly everyone regardless of age, gender, finances, or relationship status. Interestingly, addressing these peripheral issues has often been more beneficial to their growth than addressing what brought them to therapy in the first place. Our mission is to help others identify and overcome these challenges with straightforward solutions.
