Our Philosophy
At Bright Side, LLC, we believe that taking the first step towards counseling and psychotherapy is often the hardest, yet most fulfilling. By choosing to seek professional help, you have already embarked on the path to self-enhancement and personal growth. Our goal is to provide a safe and compassionate environment for you to explore your underlying issues, recurring themes, and problems that continue to hold you back. Our experienced and trained therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique circumstances, utilizing a variety of approaches including Adlerian, Behavioral, Cognitive/Cognitive-Behavioral, Developmental, EMDR, Existential/Humanistic, Person-Centered, Play Therapy, and Psychoeducational.
Our Services
We offer individual, couple, and family therapy sessions, addressing a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, career, and education. Our therapist has extensive experience in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing) to treat individuals who have suffered disturbing or traumatic experiences, often leading to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). We also provide a comfortable and warm environment for children, using Play Therapy to help them resolve troubling issues.
Our Approach
At Bright Side, LLC, we believe that treatment is a collaborative effort between the therapist and client. Our approach begins with an initial interview and consultation to discuss your needs and plan for your treatment. We encourage our clients to explore lifestyle changes that will improve the quality of life, such as exercise, diet, social activities, positive living, and relating. Our goal is to provide you with the necessary support and training to overcome the challenges you face, and to help you develop the mental fortitude needed to lead a successful life.
