Compassionate Counseling for Children, Adolescents and Adults
Evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents and adults
Our Philosophy
At Resilient Minds, we believe in empowering individuals to navigate the complexities of self-discovery, relationships, and personal growth. Our philosophy centers on creating a safe, empathetic, and supportive space where children, teens, and adults can explore their emotions, develop meaningful connections, and build resilience. We are committed to fostering emotional well-being through personalized, evidence-based approaches, helping each person cultivate the coping skills and confidence needed to thrive now and in the future.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of mental health services designed to support individuals and families through life’s challenges. Our practice provides personalized individual therapy for children, teens, and adults, as well as family therapy and group programs. We specialize in addressing emotional and behavioral needs through evidence-based approaches, including trauma-focused care, stress management, and behavioral interventions. Whether through in-person sessions or convenient tele-therapy, our goal is to empower every individual to build resilience and thrive.
Our Approach
We take a solution-focused approach, teaching CBT techniques and DBT skills to compliment clients' existing strengths. Through motivational interviewing we encourage individuals to identify unhealthy thought and behavior patterns and guide them in working toward a more balanced, values-driven lifestyle. With younger clients, we incorporate creative art- and play-activities to help children explore and manage their emotions, set personal goals and boundaries, and develop healthy relationships with family, peers, and self.
