LEARN ABOUT US
Welcome to ekTherapy
Your journey is uniquely yours—and so is our approach to supporting it. At ekTherapy, we meet you exactly where you are, honoring your individual pace, needs, and aspirations. Together, we'll develop mindful strategies and create a personalized roadmap for the growth, healing, and transformation you're seeking.
How We Work Together
Life brings transitions, challenges, and moments that can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Whether you're navigating major life changes, managing anxiety or depression, discovering untapped potential, or finding your way through emotional pain, we're here to walk alongside you. Our role isn't to direct your path—it's to help you uncover who you truly are, clarify what you want, and develop the tools to get there.
Our Philosophy
We believe in your inherent strength and resilience. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong," we take a strengths-based approach to life's inevitable challenges and traumas. We're particularly attuned to how transitions—both chosen and unexpected—impact your world, and how you can move through them with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

The Thread That Connects It All
Mindfulness and stress-reduction practices form the foundation of everything we do. These aren't just techniques we teach—they're ways of being that help you stay present, grounded, and connected to yourself as you navigate both our sessions and your daily life.
At ekTherapy, growth happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. We're honored to be part of your journey toward becoming who you're meant to be.
Your Journey With ekTherapy: What to Expect At Your Visit
​Beginning therapy can feel both exciting and uncertain. We've designed our process to help you feel informed, comfortable, and empowered every step of the way.
​
Before We Meet: Your Phone Consultation
Your ekTherapy journey starts with a brief, no-pressure phone conversation. Think of this as a chance to get acquainted—you can ask questions about our approach, share what's on your mind, and get a feel for whether we might be a good match. There's no commitment here, just an opportunity to explore whether scheduling that first session feels right for you.
​
Session One: Getting to Know Each Other
Your first session is all about connection and exploration. This is your time to share what's brought you to therapy, while your therapist learns about your unique story, strengths, and goals. Together, you'll begin building the foundation of trust and rapport that makes meaningful therapeutic work possible.
​
By the end of this session, you'll have a clearer sense of how therapy might support you and whether this therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. Remember, finding the right therapist is crucial—and it's perfectly okay if you need to explore other options.
Building Momentum: Your Ongoing Sessions
As we move into your second session and beyond, the work becomes more focused and therapeutic. You might dive deeper into a specific concern that came up in your first meeting, explore a symptom that's been troubling you, or begin processing a past experience that's impacting your present.
​
Your therapy will be as unique as you are. Some sessions might focus on developing new coping strategies, others on processing difficult emotions or experiences. We'll continuously check in about what's working, what isn't, and how we can adapt our approach to best serve your evolving needs.
A Living, Breathing Process
Therapy isn't a linear journey, and that's exactly as it should be. As you grow and change, so will our work together. Your therapist will regularly invite your feedback, celebrate your progress, and help you navigate any challenges that arise. This collaborative approach ensures that your therapy remains relevant, meaningful, and aligned with what matters most to you.
​
The pace is always yours to set. The direction is always yours to influence. The growth is always yours to claim.
How We Work With You
Therapy
Do you find yourself struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, or anger? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.
In therapy, we work together to better understand these overwhelming emotions, develop practical tools for coping, and create meaningful strategies to shift patterns of unwanted thoughts, behaviors, or emotional responses.
Our goal is to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and in control of your experience—so you can move toward the life you want to live.
Our workshops blend therapeutic insight with experiential learning—offering a supportive space to explore the latest techniques, tools, and ideas for personal growth and transformation.
Each workshop is designed to be practical, engaging, and grounded in real-life application. Whether you're looking to deepen self-awareness, reduce stress, or navigate change, our workshops provide focused support in a collaborative environment. Topics include:
Stages of Change - Understand where you are in your personal change process and how to move forward with clarity and purpose.
-
Meaningful Communication - Learn tools to express yourself more effectively and deepen your connections with others.
-
Stress Reduction & Mindfulness - Explore simple, research-backed practices to stay grounded and manage life’s daily challenges.

Supervision for Clinicians
Are you working toward your LCSW and looking for collaborative, supportive supervision?
This is a space to reflect on your clinical work, deepen your understanding of assessment and treatment, and develop your professional identity as a social worker. Together, we’ll explore the dynamics that inform your clinical decisions, therapeutic relationships, and use of self in practice.
Supervision includes attention to:
-
Case formulation and treatment planning
-
Ethical practice and professional boundaries
-
Use of evidence-based and integrative approaches
-
Countertransference and self-reflection
-
Navigating systems and social justice-informed care
-
Whether you're early in your hours or nearing completion, our work together is grounded in growth, clarity, and confidence as you prepare for independent licensure.
Where we Work -
Therapy That Fits Your Life
Starting therapy should feel accessible, not overwhelming. That's why we've designed our services to adapt to your world—your schedule, your comfort level, and your unique circumstances.
Therapy in the Office
​​If in-person therapy feels like the right fit for you, we welcome you to our office for face-to-face sessions.
Our space is designed to be calm, private, and supportive offering a setting where you can feel grounded and fully present. We’ve also implemented thorough health and safety measures that meet high standards of care, ensuring your comfort and well-being during each visit.
In-person therapy can offer a deeper sense of connection and structure for those who prefer or benefit from being physically present with their therapist.
Therapy at a Distance
If virtual therapy is the best fit for your life, we offer secure video sessions so you can connect with your therapist from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Teletherapy offers flexibility and accessibility—whether you're at home, at work, or navigating a busy schedule. We are committed to providing high-quality, confidential care through a secure platform, ensuring your experience is just as safe, supportive, and effective as in-person sessions.
Therapy Hybrid
​Looking for the flexibility of both in-person and virtual therapy? Our hybrid option offers the best of both worlds.
This approach allows you and your therapist to create a schedule that combines in-office sessions with secure video visits, based on your needs, availability, and comfort. Whether you want to start in person and shift online, alternate formats, or adapt as life changes, hybrid therapy provides the adaptability to make it work for you.
