Trust in mental healthcare matters.
Our therapists go the extra mile to build trust with their clients. When a patient trusts their therapist, they are comfortable sharing their thoughts, emotions, and feelings with them. Because we know that therapy is a time to discuss and disclose deeply sensitive and personal information, we hold this time with our clients as sacred. Our EMDR therapist and all other therapists maintain client confidentiality and do not discuss cases with others unless they have reasons to believe that a client poses a danger to themselves or others.
Before commencing a therapy session, we create a calm, peaceful environment that allows clients to relax. Our office spaces include aesthetically pleasing and thoughtfully designed interiors so that you can feel comfortable. You can find images of our spaces on our Google profile to get acquainted with us.
