At Choices, we know that the first move towards progress can be the hardest. That's why our innovative outpatient counseling services are specially designed for individuals like you, who are ready to embark on a transformational journey towards a better self.
Our team of dedicated counselors not only tailor-make sessions to yield the maximum impact but also align them with your unique needs. We put in our best efforts to pair you with the right counselor, as we’re well aware that a strong therapeutic relationship is a cornerstone to your success.
We're not a clinic, we're a family-owned practice that genuinely cares for both its clients and staff. Our 'family first' approach is our strength and it has enabled us to grow while enhancing the quality of our service.
Our team of experienced therapists uses a client-centered approach, working collaboratively with our clients to identify their goals and develop a customized treatment plan. We also place a strong emphasis on building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship.
For many, the opportunity to sit face-to-face with a therapist creates a unique sense of connection and comfort that can be hard to replicate in other settings. At Choices, we understand the value of creating a supportive and welcoming space where clients can fully engage in their therapeutic process. The in-person atmosphere allows for meaningful interactions, free from digital distractions, and fosters a stronger sense of trust and collaboration between clients and their therapists.
Many of our clients express how much they appreciate the availability of in-person therapy services, finding it to be a grounding experience that enhances their progress. Whether it’s the dedicated space to focus on personal growth, the subtle cues of body language that aid understanding, or simply the ritual of coming into the office, in-person therapy provides a level of connection and presence that is unmatched. At Choices, we are committed to continuing to offer this option, where healing can happen in a comfortable and supportive environment.
Balancing a busy professional life with personal responsibilities can make it challenging to prioritize mental health. That’s where online counseling services come in. The convenience they offer is unmatched—you can schedule sessions during lunch breaks, in the evenings, or even from the comfort of your home. There’s no time wasted commuting to appointments, making it a fantastic option for individuals with hectic schedules or transportation challenges. Plus, online therapy often comes with a lower price tag compared to traditional in-person sessions, offering a cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality.
Research shows that online counseling is just as effective as in-person therapy, making it a reliable option for mental health support. For tech-savvy professionals, the accessibility of these services is a major advantage. With just a couple of clicks, you can connect with licensed therapists who understand your needs. Many clients have praised the flexibility and ease of online therapy, noting it delivers the same personal, supportive experience as traditional counseling. For busy professionals seeking help without major disruptions to their day, online therapy is a game-changing solution.

We offer a range of services designed to support mental health, including:
Choices is your sanctuary for uncovering the therapeutic power of emotions. Our primary mission is to provide a secure space where you can unhesitatingly express your feelings, a place where every emotion is acknowledged and accepted.
Remember, your emotions are your internal compass — guiding you, compelling you to listen, understand, and act. Joyful or sorrowful, peaceful or angry, every feeling is crucial, serving a purpose only you can truly comprehend.
At Choices, we believe in working together with your emotions, not against them. We guide you on this transformative journey, empowering you to harness your feelings to your advantage. And, the moment you learn to do this, the benefits you reap are truly infinite. Join us at Choices, let's navigate the emotional landscape of your life together.
"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways" -Sigmund Freud

Seeking help for your mental health is one of the bravest steps you can take. We understand the challenges that depression, trauma, and anxiety brings, but remember, it is not a fight you have to face alone.
Whether you are new to therapy or have sought help before, the key lies in our proven SHOW UP-TRY-REPEAT philosophy. Therapy isn't an overnight miracle, but a journey of small, consistent steps taken daily towards betterment.
Your willingness to work hard, coupled with our expertise, will be your guide to success.
Building a healthier, happier you - that's our goal at Choices. Our approach blends a variety of proven therapies, and our team of skilled counselors is dedicated to helping you embark on a journey towards wellness.

We teach you evidence-based skills, help you integrate them into your daily life, and guide you to make them your own.
Often times after being discharged from Choices individuals no longer meet the criteria for the various disorders. Things may be difficult right now, but we can help. Think of Choices as a flashlight in the darkness. We know the way; you just have to walk it. While diagnosis is important it does not define you. Therapy helps and you can do this.
"The past affects the present even without us being aware of it" -Francine Shapiro
Many of Choices counselors have extensive training in trauma-based treatments like EMDR and TF-CBT. As you do your research into different counselors it is important to understand how core issues in your past affect you in the present and the future.
When you reprocess and work through your past it will help you to make better choices in the present. Our brains prioritize negative and fearful experiences so we can protect ourselves better. If we do not deal with our past, it creates thinking styles and ways of being in the world that are maladaptive. Break the pattern now so you can have a better future.
Specializing in trauma means more than just treating traditional PTSD symptoms. It means the fundamental way that treatment is provided is different than most other therapists. Depression and anxiety are symptoms of deeper underlying issues. Choices therapists help you to get well and stay well.
Discover the power of self-reflection through the simple act of journaling.
