What Kind of Support Do You Need?
Therapy can be many things—practical, spiritual, emotional, directive, gentle, fierce.
But what kind of support do you need most?
Here are a few forms of support that therapy can offer:
✨ Advice & Guidance
- You want a clearer path or direction
- You appreciate tools, frameworks, or insights
- You’re looking for help sorting through options or next steps
- You want your therapist to weigh in—not just reflect back
🌿 Safety & Comfort
- You want a calm, grounding presence
- You need space to process without pressure or fixing
- You’re seeking warmth, trust, and emotional refuge
- You want to feel held, not pushed
🔍 Honesty & Transparency
- You want a therapist who will be real with you
- You appreciate being gently called out or challenged
- You’re curious about your patterns—and ready to name them
- You don’t want sugar-coating; you want truth
💛 Empathy & Compassion
- You want to feel deeply understood
- You’re craving emotional resonance, not just analysis
- You’re not looking for quick fixes—you want someone to be with you in it
- You value presence more than performance
🔥 Encouragement & Empowerment
- You want someone who believes in your potential
- You’re ready to be stretched and supported
- You’re looking for accountability as much as affirmation
- You want to feel energized, not just safe
So, what kind of support do you need?
It might shift over time. It might be a mix.
Therapy can be many things.

How We'll Work Together
People come to us for many different reasons. Do you feel “flat,” “lost,” or like you have “no purpose?” Are you not “getting enough enjoyment out of life?” Are you comparing yourself to others? Does your mind skew towards the negative?
Are these things affecting your relationships? Maybe you need an impartial perspective? Someone to help you talk about your feelings? Or maybe you need help processing a loss or some family dynamics?
We’ll provide support in multiple ways, as there is no one right method for everyone. All of our therapists are licensed and trained traditionally and we start with that fundamental backdrop.
What’s unique here is that our next steps involve a variety of approaches you won’t find everywhere. We may involve your imagination, your body, your scientific side, the memories you have, the memories you don’t have. We may go into the garden or try meditating, we may use Chinese Medicine or other ancient practices. There might be clear goals or we might need to figure those out.
All of our work will be evidence-based and rooted in science, backed by decades of research. But we’ll also make use of innovative, cutting-edge techniques to stay current with modern trends in order to help you grow in the most comprehensive and creative ways possible.
Each experience will be personalized according to individual needs. If you’re interested in deepening your internal awareness, improving your relationships, and getting more enjoyment out of life, come in for a session and hear our ideas!

Therapy Doesn't Have to be So Serious
Therapy doesn’t have to be so serious. Be certain: We take YOU very seriously, but we're not sitting on high horses judging or over-analyzing you.
In fact, humor and levity are key components of successful therapy. Yes, this is real stuff we’re addressing in here, but it’s part of being human. We’re all going through the same shit and doing the best we can.
Relationships, sex, career, family, disappointments & hurts, negative thoughts, the search for meaning, personal fulfillment — this is what we talk about.
If you've been thinking about trying therapy, but weren't sure where to begin, we are here and will make it easy for you! DM, call, text, email.
