Emphasis on the "try." Especially as you start this practice other thoughts will come in. That's okay, acknowledge them and then turn your focus back to the positive.

My name is Sarah and I'm a therapist here at Estes! I have a holistic viewpoint in therapy, whether you are coming in for individual therapy or couples counseling. I work from a biopsychosocial-spiritual model, but above all I work to cultivate a safe space for you (and your relationship)! In safety we can be vulnerable, take chances, and have the space to explore ourselves.

I'm Heather, I believe we are created for and wired to be in connection with other humans and when we sense danger in our significant relationships, it can threaten our sense of safety and security. Often, we can feel stuck in patterns of disconnection when we long to feel love, safety, and acceptance from our closest relationships. By using Emotionally Focused Therapy to address areas where they feel stuck, I allow couples, individuals, and families the environment to begin to create new patterns of relating to each other.

Hi there! My name is Jen, and I am so glad that you’re here. My goal is to support and guide you towards your therapy goals, whatever they may be.

As an attachment-based therapist specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy, I can help you to shift from reactivity to vulnerability and create more emotional safety and a deep sense of secure attachment in your key relationships.

My job is to get to know who you are as a person and what matters most to you. Together we will explore what areas of your life are distressing or problematic and what you would like to be different. Sometimes the goals shift and change, or become clearer along the way, and that’s totally okay.
