Counseling at OakHeartA Note From Our TeamStarting therapy requires the courage to turn inward and evaluate parts of the self that have been avoided, that provoke fear, and that you truly want to understand better, even though it may be difficult to tolerate at times. Opening yourself up to the process offers healing, improved relationships, better coping, and learning how to regulate your emotions. It involves a commitment to goals that you collaborate on with a trusted professional who will support, validate, and assist you in reaching those goals. Counseling offers a space that is just for you and what you want to work on.
The relationship is the key component for change in any form of therapy. Whether it is the emotional connection, the teaching provided through psycho-education, or the guidance offered through shifting behaviors and increasing awareness, it is the relationship established in counseling that provides the mechanism for change. At OakHeart, we believe in finding the right fit between therapist and client so that you can enter into a therapeutic relationship that allows you to talk about any aspect of your life, no matter how vulnerable it is. Counseling at OakHeart provides a foundation of genuineness, empathy, confidentiality, and authenticity that promotes overall growth and transformation. It is about learning how to successfully navigate through the wide range of life experiences that are part of the human condition. Thank you for considering us as part of your journey.
