Introduction

Seeking counseling therapy takes courage, a willingness to invite change, the ability to explore difficulties, and the willingness to learn new strategies. We will work together to learn healthy coping skills and to assist you in navigating challenges faced throughout life's journey. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-doubt, negative beliefs, trauma, or post-traumatic stress disorder, counseling therapy will provide you with a safe space to talk. Our goal is to ensure you feel safe, supported, and empowered to manage whatever comes your way. At Ladder Counseling & Wellness, we use a neurobiopsychosocial lens (considering the whole person) as we work with clients to promote healthy life balance. We will work toward building a collaborative alliance to develop a toolbox of healthy coping skills. Our psychotherapists are trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed EMDR, and Sensorimotor approaches. Our clinicians have experience working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, life transitions, post-traumatic stress disorder, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder. We also work with first responders (including LEO, EMT, and Firefighters), infrastructure workers, and military members, spouses, and children. Our goal is to establish a therapeutic alliance in which you feel safe, understood, and supported. "Don't let yesterday take up too much of today. Don't borrow from tomorrow."
