Life’s journey includes many difficulties, including challenges for individuals, couples, and families. Therapy provides a confidential and safe space where feelings can be explored, new skills can be acquired, and healing can begin. Seeking guidance is an important first step. 

We have extensive experience working with children from the ages of 3+, couples, and individuals from various cultures, backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. Our expertise is in working with children, individuals, and couples who have experienced childhood trauma and abuse. As Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Veroniki's main focus is on family conflict, domestic violence, and sexual assault/abuse. Clinician Shannon's main focus is on family conflict, codependency, and sexual abuse while Christina focuses on perinatal, LGBTQIA+ community, and adolescents. 

Trauma often surfaces in ways we may not realize as we do not always know how to articulate and process our emotions, whether that be a five year old tantrum in a grocery store, a teenager cutting, or an adult abusing substances in order to avoid their feelings. We take a collaborative approach with our clients to identify problem areas, goals, and learn to identify and express their feelings. Using this process, relationships can be improved while overcoming obstacles and working towards agreed upon treatment goals.

Using Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman, Strengths Based and Solution Focused Therapy as well as other therapeutic interventions, we are able to enhance communication skills and life-long connections for individuals, couples, and families. It is a privilege and an honor to be part of your journey.
