It’s time to come home. To yourself.
If these thoughts have gone through your mind, you’ve come to the right place.
It’s uncomfortable, and at times painful, to know something in your life isn’t flowing the way you want it to. You might have resigned yourself to living with the status quo. Or, you may be convinced that something has to change, but that you should handle it entirely on your own. If you’ve realized that something does need to change, and that you can’t do it on your own, it’s then scary to wonder whether anyone will truly be able to help in the ways that you need right now.
It is normal to experience challenges and need support.
At some point in our lives, we all experience something unbearable or unmanageable, and have a need to seek support in addition to what we can offer ourselves. Sometimes this need arises due to a sudden life transition such as a cancer or other health diagnosis, a change in our beliefs or worldview, a child or partner coming out as gay or transgender (even if we are 100% supportive!), or the loss of a person or relationship. Other times, there may not be an obvious “crisis,” but the urgency that drives us is still the same—suffering is present.
We can help.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve always felt like this or if you’re going through a life transition and need specific support. We can help. We welcome people of all backgrounds, genders, abilities, and identities into our practice. We are especially proud to serve our local LGBTQIA+ community. Most of our work is with individual women and gender diverse folks of varying ages, orientations, and identities. We also serve couples/relationships, and welcome relationships of all configurations. While we support folks through a variety of life experiences, we have particular expertise in working with neurodivergent (including Autistic/ADHDers, gifted and/or highly sensitive individuals); people of color, especially those of immigrant experience; grief and loss; trauma; disability and chronic illness. All of our therapists are polyam/kink aware and affirming. Whole Valley Therapy practices from a Health at Every Size (HAES)/weight-neutral philosophy.
