A Note From Kristyn
The real beauty in people is not found in perfection it is found in how we choose to heal our brokenness. I often use the image of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending it with gold. The healing process makes us more beautiful and more valuable than a vessel that has never been injured. Therapy is a process of mending. In my mind therapists are here to help you find all your scattered and broken pieces, figure out how they should fit together, and help you fortify yourself with grace and compassion. In the end my hope is that our clients do not see themselves as scarred by past trauma but instead see themselves as powerful, beautiful, and whole.

A Note From Vanessa
Psychological assessment is fascinating and invaluable because it enhances our understanding of human behavior, facilitates effective treatment and intervention, contributes to scientific knowledge, supports legal decisions, informs educational and organizational practices, and upholds ethical standards in professional practice. Its multifaceted applications make it a cornerstone of psychological practice and research, benefiting both individuals and society as a whole. In essence, treatment begins with the assessment process. Psychological assessment captivates me because it bridges the gap between theory and practice, illuminating the human experience in ways that foster growth, resilience, and meaningful change. It's about connecting with individuals on a profound level, empowering them to navigate life's complexities with clarity, compassion, and purpose through the power of knowledge and insight.

A Note From Catherine
Supervision and therapy are about growth, learning, and feeling supported—not just mastering clinical skills, but also developing confidence in who you are as a therapist. My approach is human-first, collaborative, and rooted in self-awareness and self-care. I want supervision to be a space where you feel safe to ask questions, reflect on challenges, and build trust in your clinical instincts.
Healing-whether in therapy or supervision—isn’t about erasing the past but learning to hold it with compassion. I see the human experience like a mosaic—our struggles and triumphs come together to create something meaningful. Great clinicians don’t just support others; they also take care of themselves. That’s why I emphasize mindfulness, self-care, and balance alongside skill-building and case conceptualization.
The best therapists grow in environments where they feel respected, heard, and encouraged. I look forward to supporting you on this journey.
