My college age patients are often dealing with relationship changes, a changing sense of personal identity (sexual or in terms of sense of ...
Our drive as therapists has always been to help others, and to help guide clients into finding their inner peace at a time when so many - and understandably so - have felt an intense amount of anxiety, sadness, and just an overall sense of emotional turmoil.

Most importa...

Health and wellness are not linear and will only evolve within a dynamic and complex interplay of the many systems in our lives.
