OUR PHILOSOPHY:

We live in a world that is increasingly complex and face-paced. For many, that means a life filled with stress. Feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, wanting to have more satisfaction in relationships, and struggling with meaning or purpose are all obstacles to living life to its fullest.

Psychotherapy is one way to address these and other obstacles to a good life. Broadly defined, psychotherapy is a process for discovering a deeper understanding of your feelings, thoughts and actions. More satisfying relationships, more meaningful work, and smoother life transitions are just some of the benefits you can gain from counseling.

Despite lingering misconceptions, being in therapy does not mean you are sick or weak. Rather, it means you are unhappy, in pain, or in need of guidance and support as you work to improve your situation.

At Isthmus Psychotherapy, we believe deeply that people are full of strength, resourcefulness, and possibility. We combine the best of traditional psychology with an understanding of the complexities and challenges that people face in daily living. We take seriously the impact that gender, class, race, spirituality, and sexual orientation have on one's life experience and sense of self. We work with understanding, compassion, and sensitivity as we offer our clients support, guidance and an opportunity to heal.
