Adult Therapy & Counseling
Adults come to us carrying things they've often carried alone for a long time — anxiety that won't quiet, depression that's drained the color from everything, or grief they've never had space to process. Our adult therapists don't rush you toward a diagnosis. They help you understand what's actually happening and make real, lasting change.
- Anxiety & Chronic Worry
- Depression & Low Motivation
- High-Functioning Anxiety & Depression
- Grief & Life Transitions
- EMDR & Trauma Recovery
- Burnout, Stress & Identity Questions
Most people don't search for "therapy."
They search for relief.
You're not here because you want to be in therapy. You're here because something in your life isn't working and you've reached the point where you're ready to do something about it. That took courage. The right therapist can make all the difference — here's how to find yours.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are the most common reasons adults seek therapy — and also the most treatable. If worry, heaviness, low energy, or a sense of dread have become your daily normal, it doesn't have to stay that way.
- Daily life feels exhausting or pointless
- You can't stop worrying no matter how hard you try
- You're irritable, withdrawn, or just going through the motions
- Sleep, focus, and motivation have all suffered

Trauma & EMDR
Trauma isn't always a single dramatic event. It can be years of stress, a difficult childhood, a relationship that left marks, or an experience you've never fully processed. EMDR is one of the most effective and fastest-working approaches to healing from the past.
- Past experiences keep intruding on your present
- You feel numb, disconnected, or constantly on guard
- Certain triggers send you back to a place you thought you'd left
- You've tried talking about it but it doesn't seem to help

Grief & Life Transitions
Grief isn't only about death. It can follow a divorce, a job loss, an empty nest, a health diagnosis, or any major change that leaves you feeling unmoored. Sometimes life shifts so fast that we don't have time to process what we've lost before we're expected to move on.
- You're grieving a loss — a person, a relationship, or a version of yourself
- A major life change has left you feeling lost or purposeless
- You feel pressure to "be over it" but you're not
- You're functioning on the outside but struggling inside

We don't rush you
Unlike insurance-driven practices that push short-term fixes, we take the time your situation actually needs. Real healing isn't measured in sessions — it's measured in results.
Matched to a specialist
You won't be assigned to whoever is available. You'll be matched to a therapist who has spent years helping people through exactly what you're experiencing.
Same therapist, every session
No algorithms, no switching, no re-explaining your story. Your therapist knows your history, your goals, and your name — because healing requires a real relationship.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Adult Counseling
How do I know if I actually need therapy, or if I should just push through?
A good rule of thumb: if something has been bothering you for more than a few weeks, is affecting your sleep, relationships, or ability to function, or if you've already tried "pushing through" and it isn't working — those are signs that talking to someone could genuinely help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Most of our adult clients come to us feeling stuck, not broken.
What does adult therapy actually look like — what happens in a session?
Sessions are 50 minutes, held in a private office or via secure video. There's no couch, no awkward silences. You talk, your therapist listens closely and asks questions that help you see things differently. Over time, patterns emerge and you build practical skills for managing what you're going through. It's a conversation with direction — not just venting.
How long will I need to come to therapy?
It depends on what you're working through. Some people find real relief in 8–12 sessions. Others dealing with deeper patterns — long-standing anxiety, trauma, or grief — benefit from longer work. We don't believe in padding out sessions to fill a calendar. You and your therapist set goals together, and when you've met them, you'll know it.
Do you take insurance for adult therapy?
We are an out-of-network practice, which means we don't bill insurance directly. Many clients submit receipts to their insurance company for partial reimbursement — depending on your plan, this can cover 40–80% of fees. We provide the documentation you need to do this. We're happy to explain the process when you call.
What's the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist?
Therapists (like our counselors) provide talk-based therapy — the kind that helps you understand and change patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who focus on diagnosing and prescribing medication. Many people work with both. If medication might be part of your picture, we can talk through that during your consultation and help you find the right resources.
Is everything I say kept confidential?
Yes. What you share in therapy stays between you and your therapist, protected by California law and professional ethics. There are very narrow legal exceptions — primarily if there's an imminent risk of harm to yourself or someone else — but your therapist will always explain these before your first session. Confidentiality is the foundation that makes therapy work.
Not sure which path is yours?
Most people aren't sure what they need when they reach out. That's completely normal. Call us, tell us what's going on, and we'll help you figure out the right fit. No pressure, no commitment — just a conversation.
