“When individuals suffer from trauma, anxiety, or problems with sleep, it can lead to impairments in their daily lives and cause difficulties in their relationships and work. Our focus is providing client-centered care using treatments informed by research. Therapy should be a collaborative and active process between therapist and patient. We empower our patients with the skills they need to manage their symptoms more effectively.”
