Talking Towards Healing MHC
Talking Towards Healing MHC is a practice dedicated to creating a safe, collaborative, and inclusive environment. At Talking Towards Healing, we utilize a person-centered approach. Our work is based on a variety of treatment modalities which are catered toward each client’s individual needs. Our intern clinician Alfat has experience working with children/adolescence and adults. She has an out of pocket fee and open availability Mon-Thursday from 3:30 -7:00pm.
As a group practice, we believe in the importance of guiding clients towards understanding the connection and impact their thoughts have on their feelings, experiences, and behaviors. Together we learn to identify, accept, and challenge these thoughts to adjust your perspective. We also focus on building motivation, implementing mindfulness & self-care into your daily routine.
You are the expert in your life, and we are there beside you to help foster the motivation needed to reach your goals. We believe offering guidance, validation, and support are essential towards the healing process of therapy. There is a strong emphasis on the importance of empathy, compassion, and collaboration. We believe in and trust the collaborative therapeutic process and hope to walk beside you as you talk towards healing!
