Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through CBT, person-centered counseling, and research-based treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are emotions that can linger long after traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing through EMDR and MIndfulness Based Compassionate approaches.

Relationships

Relationship counseling can be beneficial to partners and families who are experiencing relational injuries. Emotion Focused, Gottman Method, and Family Systems approaches can promote personal growth and help find solutions to strengthen your relationships.

Client testimonials

"I first met Troy almost 5 years ago. Troy gracefully guided me and listened to me as I moved forward into new territory as a single mom. I found great comfort as I met with Troy, learned new techniques on how to calm myself, and how to get through each day. I moved on in my life, and Troy took a new job. I later became re-acquainted with Troy as I worked side by side with her at a non-profit where she counseled women who had been sexually abused as youth. I witnessed first-hand her love and respect for her clients. It is a pleasure to know Troy as a friend and as a former client. She has a calming, loving presence and has both clinical and educational experience as well as life experience to fully embrace and counsel those with whom she works. I highly recommend Troy as a therapist." ~~ Azurdee
