My practice, Mindful Solutions, LLC, strive to help clients improve their mental health and grow personally. Life is stressful, sometimes, but we help clients figure out the best ways to cope. My associates and I specialize in assessing and treating anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, and associated learning challenges, and managing difficult relationships. I also work with those who struggle with chronic medical conditions. we offer compassionate care, and we are trained in cognitive behavior, therapy, family systems, and other evidence based approaches. We want clients to make progress, achieve their goals, and become resilient.
The therapist-client relationship can form a powerful collaboration. We give clients the space to be themselves, to process their experiences, and learn coping skills that work best for them. We combine warmth, empathy, humor, and creativity to connect with clients. Our strategies and techniques draw from scientific evidence, so clients see practical change.
We want to get to know clients, to build a trusting relationship, and then to give advice and collaborate with them to find solutions. Understanding clients’ history of is a critical before giving them advice. Is that may not be right for them. Our childhood, family history, and past relationships, and educational experiences make us who we are today.
