If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, or have come to a crossroad in life where you are feeling troubled or unclear, therapy can be an anchor to help you slow down, reassess and refocus. While the benefits are clear, the decision to pursue psychotherapy, and the effort involved in finding the right therapist and making that first appointment can be intimidating. Our primary goal is to

provide a safe, empathetic, and warm environment to encourage personal exploration and growth. Our clinicians help clients find relief from life's challenges related to anxiety, depression, transitions, relationships and work-related stress. Everyone entering psychotherapy comes from a unique walk of life. Together, we can identify your specific goals and create a treatment plan that addresses your areas of need. We also offer comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing for children, adolescents and adults. Common reasons forevaluation include testing for emotional, behavioral or academic difficulties; the presence of learning disabilities or Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity disorders; and to gain a better understanding of intellectual functioning and personality.

Often, we downplay our experiences by comparing ourselves to others, thinking, ‘Is this really traumatic? So many people have it worse than me.’ But it’s essential to recognize that trauma is subjective; what may seem minor to one person can be deeply impactful to another. Your feelings are valid, and acknowledging them is the first step toward healing.

Here are Dr Anna Plotkina's tips for how to work through it!
