What's My Approach to Therapy?

As a young adult you might feel like you have no clue how to handle some of the life's complex challenges thrown at you. Or sometimes the pain of life is just too great, too overwhelming, and you feel completely alone and stuck with a problem. Or you have experienced the greatest loss of your life, and you just need someone to listen to you and give you a different perspective.

This is where we can help you. We will treat you with respect and compassion and listen carefully with empathy to your problem. We will hold a safe and confidential space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. We will work together to help you become aware of your thoughts and feelings about a problem, and how to look at those problems in different, more manageable ways. Rather than adopting only one methodology for all individuals and issues, each therapist draws from a variety of methods that are most effective for each individual and situation. As social workers we take a strength perspective and focus on what your strengths are and how we can build on those strengths to reach your potential.

My Practice & Services

Our therapists are engaging, encouraging, have a sense of humor and use a strengths-based approach to therapy. Whether you’re a teen trying to find your place in the world, a college student juggling change and expectation, or an older adult facing life transitions, we are here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll work to understand your story, reduce distress, and strengthen your sense of well-being.

Our goal is to provide you with a supportive, safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and develop into the person you want to be. Michele Purvin, LCSW-S, LCDC has over 10 years of experience as a therapist and she is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), the 12 Step Transitional Model and a certified clinical trauma professional.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

Our practice philosophy is rooted in the strengths perspective and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. Our therapists hold a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share, build self-awareness and work together to change behavior, thoughts and beliefs. We strongly believe a successful therapeutic relationship is vital to enhancing your personal strengths and mobilizes for change in your life.
