** Philosophy **
It is other life; it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, and the joy of growth. ~ Mitsugu Saotome
Harmony, joy, growth, love, touch, and beauty are words that evoke a sense of longing for most of us. We search for those elements in our lives. We desire a life of purpose, a life that matters. No matter what stage of life we are in, we hope that someday we will have the complete package.
Yet, it is in the process itself that we will find life’s meaning. It is in developing deeper relationships with ourselves and others that we become whole. Therapy is one tool for attaining this state. Janette Ayd, a licensed clinical psychologist and Molly Cavanagh, a licensed independent clinical social worker will assist you in finding solutions, overcoming obstacles, and living the life you want.
At some time everyone needs assistance in dealing with challenges faced in life. We offer a process-based approach to therapy. We employ cognitive behavioral strategies to help our clients change the way they view the world and, hence, take control of their actions and behavior.
Balanced with professionalism and experience, it is our goal to engender security and ease within clients through our sincere, down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach. Therapy is a relationship, and the success of any therapeutic relationship is based on trust and mutual respect. You may be assured that we are dedicated to providing you with the best service available.
