Are you or your child's existing coping skills not feeling effective enough? Do you feel overwhelmed often? You might be thriving in some aspects of your life, but feeling unhappy or unfulfilled in other areas. Well, you're not alone. We all struggle with some level of anxiety, stress, burnout, and other difficult feeling states. It's part of being human in this very complex and demanding culture that we live in today. With so many things "to-do," goals to accomplish, and people to please, it's easy to feel disconnected from what truly matters and brings meaning to life. Living on an autopilot survival loop. Can you relate?

Do you want to learn effective tools and techniques that can help you navigate life with more confidence, purpose, and joy? Good news, you have found the right place! We help clients learn how to get unstuck from negative feeling cycles and take meaningful action in their lives by integrating growth-oriented therapy approaches.

Straight Up Treatment offers customized and specialized treatment for children, teens, adults, and parents that are challenged by anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive issues, and/or work, school, and relationship stress. We believe that feelings, past experiences, and current life obstacles serve as opportunities to learn and grow from. That is why our mission is to motivate and inspire our clients to take control of their lives and strive to be their best self.

If you or your child are done being on the anxiety and stress loop, reach out today and take the first step towards creating more peace and harmony in life!
