What We Do

Maitri (my tree) means unconditional loving-kindness, friendship, and benevolence towards oneself. 

There are times in life when we forget that we also matter. We may tend to be overly self-critical, run ourselves to the point of exhaustion, lose sight of our own boundaries, or just get overwhelmed by life’s struggles. We realize that no two people are the same, and as such tailor our therapy to meet the specific needs of our clients. Whether you are coping with relationship problems, anxiety, depression or any other issue, we will help you recognize underlying problems, fully realize your strengths and adjust certain behaviors and thoughts to see things a different, healthier way.
