Therapy done differently
Psychotherapy has been around for just over a century, and we believe it's time for an update.
Advances in neuroscience over the past 25 years have transformed our understanding of the brain. We now know more about how the mind works, and how therapy can work better.
Our goal is to redefine our field by building on the latest scientific insights. We keep what works, discard what doesn't, and help our clients move beyond stress to unlock their natural capacity for a rich, meaningful life.

Our Values Define Us
And make us different
At Align, we believe therapy should feel intentional, personal, and truly helpful from your very first contact. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us: clear communication, a focus on your strengths, flexible methods built around you with no unnecessary labels. We’re here to support the real you.
1
Expertise
We believe you deserve more than just techniques - you deserve therapy that makes sense, feels clear, and truly helps you move forward. That's why we don’t just apply methods, we stay deeply connected to the science behind them. We believe you have a right to understand why a particular approach works, and how it can support your growth. While continuing education is required for all licensed therapists, at Align, learning isn’t a box we check, it’s part of our daily commitment to excellence. We continuously engage with the latest research and refine our approach, so you can trust that the care you receive is informed, thoughtful, and always evolving to serve you better.

We're pragmatic
At Align, we believe therapy should be practical, purposeful, and focused on results you can feel. Our goal is simple: to help you get your life back on track, as quickly, naturally, and intentionally as possible. We don’t want you to be in therapy forever. We want to equip you with the clarity, skills, and confidence you need to move forward on your own. Therapy works best when it helps you reclaim your life, not become your life. At Align, that’s the outcome we’re always working toward.

We're relaxed
We take our work seriously, just not ourselves. Therapy can be both life-changing and low-pressure. You don’t have to brace yourself for every session. Sometimes the best breakthroughs happen in conversations that feel natural, relaxed, even fun. Of course, if there are tears, we’ve got tissues ready. But therapy doesn’t have to be heavy to be effective — and we’re here for all of it.
You should also expect

Therapy tailored to you
One-size-fits-all therapy isn’t our style. We won't try to fit into a predetermined method. Instead, we shape our approach around you. While many therapists rely on a single modality, our proprietary Process-Alignment framework is designed to adapt. We match the right tools to your unique needs, goals, and personality. So therapy feels relevant, responsive, and truly personalized.

We use your strengths to address weaknesses
Growth doesn’t start from scratch, it builds on what’s already strong. We recognize that the mind is a process of integration. That’s why we leverage your existing strengths to repair and support areas that feel weaker or stuck. By working with what’s already working, you build greater confidence, resilience, and lasting change, all anchored in the best parts of who you already are.

No "L"abels
At Align, we make a big distinction between little "l" labels and big "L" labels. Little "l" labels are healthy. They help you name what you’re experiencing in the moment — like noticing you're feeling anxious, depressed, or just hangry after a long day. Naming emotions this way is a natural, even helpful, part of staying connected to yourself and others. Big "L" labels, on the other hand, are limiting, and more importantly, untrue. When you start saying I am Anxious or I am Depressed, you're putting yourself into a box that’s far too small for who you really are. Choose a label, slap a capital letter on it, and watch how it shapes (and shrinks) the way you see yourself. We don't think you'll like the effect. That’s why at Align, we work like devils not to “L”abel you. Sure, we all face different challenges. But that doesn't mean you are a "Problem", and we’ll never treat you like one. A quick note about insurance: If you plan to submit claims to insurance, we are required to provide a diagnosis (a big "L" Label). We're happy to explain any diagnosis we give you and walk you through why. And just so you know, we won’t love it. :)

Responsive communication
We believe you deserve to feel heard, and that starts with how we communicate. You won’t be left wondering if your message got lost. Whether you call, email, or send a request for consultation, you can expect a thoughtful response by the end of the day. Try us. We think you’ll notice the difference.
