Deciding to make some changes in
your life? We are here to guide you
through those transitions.
Exploring your identity – gender or sexual –
can be an experience that leaves a person
feeling alone and misunderstood.
Our family therapy goals are to help
facilitate growth as individuals and as
a couple or family.
Maybe you’re a young adult getting ready to leave home for the first time, and you aren’t sure how to prepare for such an emotional transition. Or perhaps you need support while you question your gender identity or sexuality. No matter where you’re at in your life journey, it’s never too late to discover and affirm your most authentic self.
JCA Mental Health provides educated therapists with life and academic experience. Our staff understands the truly reparative power of a healing, authentic connection between therapist and client. While approaches vary and clinical competencies grow, it’s the quality and strength of this bond that helps facilitate change. We walk with you on your journey, empowering you to make the changes and choices that will help you to reach the next level of change in your life, relationships, identity, and mental health and wellbeing.
Facing problems, emotions, feelings and trauma head-on takes an incredible amount of strength. Sometimes it is more comfortable or feels safer to avoid the things that cause us pain. But do those things ever really go away just because you don’t want to face them? The answer is no. Seeking help requires courage and strength. There is nothing weak about wanting to feel better.
Life is a journey, and therapy is a pathway to the happiness that you deserve. We’re therapists that align with your values, and we don’t expect you to educate us or explain yourself. Therapy’s a place where you can reaffirm your values and remind yourself of your own strengths. We are all human, and we face unique battles every single day. We’re your allies in learning how to manage every high and low that you encounter as you develop a stronger understanding of what it means to be you.
As your therapist, we are here to listen, encourage, be supportive and show empathy, but it is also our job to help YOU work through your own unique problems in YOUR own way. You are the expert of your life. We are the experts in showing you new perspectives and ways to go about approaching life’s challenges. As your therapist, we wish to walk beside you, at your pace, to a place of increased self-awareness and healing.
Our therapists are people just like you. We come from diverse backgrounds and identities. We’ve experienced the pain points you have and we are culturally competent, anti-racist and clinically excellent. We address the challenges that are unique to your identity and we don’t expect you to educate us. We use minority stress-informed, transgender affirming and a human-first approach to our work.
If your car was making a strange noise, you wouldn’t wait until it overheated to take it to a mechanic. The same concept applies to therapy. Often times the most important and lasting work is not done in a time of crisis but when the situation first becomes overwhelming or has finally calmed. Therapy is always there for you. In the good times and the bad.
