Accepting new clients with a 2 - 3 week wait for afternoon & daytime appointments at all practice locations (updated December 11, 2019)
Self Design was born out of a desire to help people who feel lost, find themselves again. Our mission is to help you be your authentic self on your own and in relationships. Life’s challenges often cause us to disconnect from who we are and what is important to us. Find yourself. Be yourself. Be who you want to be.
Our focus is self-awareness and self-discovery, which leads to improved self-esteem and better judgment about what decisions are right for you. It is difficult to figure out next steps in life. Psychotherapy with a non-judgmental, down to earth therapist can help.
