Hope+Wellness
About Our Practice
Who We Are
Hope+Wellness is a mental health practice with a unique story. It was created based on our philosophy that hope can be found even in the most difficult seasons of life. We believe that people need hope and resilience to set goals and affect change, to persevere in the face of life challenges and thrive. Our approach is simple — we provide exceptional psychotherapy services to empower people to live happier, healthier lives.
Our Approach
At Hope+Wellness, we consider the whole person. Our services are grounded in clinically proven treatments that suggest an important interconnectedness between mind, body, life experience, and wellness, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and mindfulness-based therapies, as well as psychodynamic, insight and emotion focused therapies to help you find relief and healing.
Our services include individual therapy for children, teens, young adults, and adults struggling with depression, mood, stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and more. We also provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations to help you gain deep inner clarity and insight so you can live life at your highest capacity, and group therapy to help people find meaningful support, connection, and community.
We specialize in working with teens, young adults, and high functioning individuals who are struggling with life, including depression, anxiety, career, relationships, stress, and existential struggles, who are interested in taking their life to the next level and living at their fullest potential. We also work with many parents who need a kind, compassionate space to connect to themselves again.
Compassionate Care Focused on You
We believe that true emotional, behavioral, and mental wellness involves an individualized approach grounded in compassionate care. Our focus is on creating a personalized treatment plan so that you can receive the best care available to meet your needs — one completely tailored and focused on you.
We're honored that you are considering inviting us to be a part of your journey. It is natural to have questions, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any.
