Who We Are
Why Work With
Center For Psychotherapy
Because we see life through your eyes. We empower you to reclaim your story, grounding you in your truth and resilience.
Feeling hurt, angry, and upset reflects the deep struggles many of our clients face in a world that often feels overwhelming and complicated.
Losing your sense of self can leave you questioning your identity and truth, and leave you wondering if you will forever wear a mask that keeps you from living authentically.
At the Center for Psychotherapy, we recognize the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re dealing with a spiritual dilemma, relationship issues, or simply trying to understand yourself better, we help you find the clarity and direction you need.
With over 50 years of combined experience, we provide evidence-based and culturally responsive psychotherapy in a safe, inclusive environment.
We believe that every human can alter their life by altering their attitudes of mind and with the right support—you can overcome personal, relational, and spiritual challenges, paving the way for deep transformation.

Is psychotherapy confidential?
Yes, psychotherapy is typically confidential, meaning that anything discussed in a therapy session remains private between you and your psychotherapist. Information is only disclosed once a written authorization form is signed. However, there are some exceptions, such as if the psychotherapist believes that you, as their client or someone else, are at risk.
How often will we meet & how long should therapy last?
Initially, clients typically come to therapy on a weekly basis. The sessions are generally between 45 and 60 minutes long. The length of time you’re in therapy depends on the issue, your needs, and your goals. However, short-term therapy is usually 3 to 6 months.
