What is Therapy?

Therapy is a structured, formal intervention where individuals collaborate with qualified professionals, like psychologists or counselors, to explore and address personal challenges and mental health issues through purposeful dialogue and diverse therapeutic methods. The objective is to enhance self-awareness, develop coping skills, and foster positive transformations in the individual's well-being.

When should you reach out? Perhaps you’re new to therapy and you can’t quite believe you’re about to pick up the phone to make an appointment.

Or, you may have seen several counselors over the years and you know a little something about what you’re looking for.

I'd like to help you understand your own “yes, it’s time to see someone” and also decide if I am the person you’re ready to call.

When you commit to going to therapy, you introduce a new kind of structure to your life.

Personally, we at SBCS have a deep appreciation for structure. That means we love to make healthy structures work and we also recognize the ways that structures can become limiting and even punishing.

It’s our goal to help you look at yourself and maybe your relationships and the way you’ve built your life, and decide what works for you.

During our sessions, we might discover that you need to be liberated from your own rigid habits or we might find that new frameworks will further your growth.

We (together) look for how you can get closer to the people who matter to you and help you separate from those who might cause stress and dysfunction.

And, our own respect for structure means that WE’RE prompt, responsive, and consistent. WE respect your time and use our time together to help you find real insights that help you continue to make positive changes between our sessions.

Our therapy office door is open to individuals and both hetero + kink/open and LGBTQIA couples who want more connection and balance in their lives.
