Lasting Change
and Acceptance

When you work with us you will notice that our approach to therapy emphasizes two components:

Lasting Change

First, we are not interested in gimmicks that only bring temporary relief.

Our approach to therapy brings about lasting change through tested methods including insight into your current problems, a place to comfortably express yourself, and a warm relationship.

Acceptance

Second, our expert Providence therapists work to understand and accept all
of you.

You don’t have to pick and choose the parts of yourself to show us.

We work to earn your trust by cultivating a team of Providence psychologists, counselors, and social workers who are down-to-earth and interested in regularly honing the craft of therapy to best respond to your needs. We require that all of our therapists have post-graduate training in empirically-supported couples couples and individual therapy approaches. Furthermore, our therapists engage in monthly group consultation with an area expert in supervision. End your search for "Providence therapists near me" or “Help me find a therapist in Providence” with us.
