Clinical Expertise and Professionalism
We see patients from all walks of life and of different clinical severities. Sometimes our patients may need brief therapy for a current adjustment stressor going in their lives, and others we see who have more severe, chronic mental illnesses. We work with people from the whole spectrum, from mild to severe, and encourage anyone who could use extra support, no matter what the presenting problem is big or small, to reach out and ask for support, you deserve it, and we are here to help.
