ABOUT EAST SIDE THERAPY
At East Side Therapy, we embrace a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, meticulously tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Recognizing you as a whole person—not just a set of symptoms—is fundamental to our philosophy. Our therapists engage with you human-to-human, grounding our relationship in empathy and mutual respect before anything else. We aim to provide a space that is safe and inclusive to all cultures, bodies, orientations, ages and abilities.
By integrating effective skill-building and behavior change strategies with our depth-oriented focus, we aim to foster enduring change that resonates on a foundational level. Our goal is to empower you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-awareness, cultivating a fulfilling and balanced life.
At East Side Therapy, we are dedicated to walking this path with you, every step of the way.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start, we get it. Finding the right support can seem like a daunting task. You need more than just a listener—you need a guide who is proactive, forthright, and ready to identify and address the obstacles that keep you from the life you deserve. If you made it here, you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Our Values
-
For human beings, connection is our life force. At our core, we value the transformative power of genuine human connection. We believe that fostering meaningful relationships is essential for healing, growth, and navigating life's challenges with empathy and support. We promise to nurture and protect the therapeutic relationship with integrity and compassion.
-
We are dedicated to helping our clients find the courage to claim, or re-claim power in their lives, make informed decisions, find their voice, and cultivate the confidence to navigate challenges with resilience and self-determination. We also recognize how systems of power and oppression are woven into the fabric of our lives - we aim to acknowledge and address the power dynamic in any situation, including therapy.
-
We embrace the philosophy that we are not the experts on your life—you are. Therapy is a collaborative experience, co-created by you and your therapist, where your voice is honored, and you have an active role in shaping your own journey towards healing and self-discovery. We also look for opportunities to collaborate with your other providers, community and support system, if needed.
-
We understand that you want to see measurable change. We prioritize evidence-based interventions and tailored strategies to ensure that the care you receive is impactful and meaningful. We recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and we are dedicated to regularly checking in with you to ensure that your progress feels effective and aligned with your goals.
-
We honor the pursuit of truth as a guiding principle in our work, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and transparency. We prioritize exploring and acknowledging personal truths, without judgment, fear or moral evaluation, focusing not on what is good or bad, but simply on what is true.
-
We value creating a genuine and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore and express their true selves, free from pretense or societal expectations. At our therapy practice, authenticity is not just encouraged—it's celebrated as the cornerstone of meaningful growth and healing.
