Welcome
Our Practice
At But First Therapy, we strive to provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions, heal from past traumas, and achieve their full potential.
As your therapist
I WON'T:
Try to fix you,
Tell you what to do,
Pretend I know more about you than you do,
Assume what is best for you,
Have all the answers, or
Make the hard stuff go away.
I WILL:
Remind you that you are NOT broken,
Give you room to access your own wisdom,
Support you in figuring out what to do,
Help you recognize that you are the expert on your own life,
Remind you of the power to know what is best for you,
Understand that I don't know it all, and
Collaborate with you on how to make the hard "stuff" easier to sit with.
Nature of Counseling
We believe the therapeutic process is less about technique and more about relationship.
A healthy and appropriate therapeutic relationship is built by creating a space of non-judgement and trust. It is then when true growth can begin.
But first, therapy specializes in treating adults and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and life transitions.
