Welcome!
You have been struggling to find relief from the debilitating effects of anxiety and your search has led you here.
Our counseling services for adults and teens are evidence-based and tailored to fit your individual needs.
Our Philosophy
Anxiety comes in many shapes and sizes and at unexpected times. Whatever type and whenever it strikes, it's exhausting. It is debilitating to any person at any age, and can develop into diminished self-confidence and unbearable despair.
Thankfully, there is a way to find relief and experience the joy of living again. At Key CBT Counseling our focus is in helping individuals lead more fulfilling and balanced lives. We believe in strength-based counseling that honors what is already working while identifying areas of struggle. Together we assess your emotional and cognitive function to develop a plan of action.
"It's not about learning to control the ocean.
It's about learning to surf the waves."
Our practice focuses on the use of evidence-based treatments such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) and Mindfulness practices that have been proven to empower individuals with the tools to tame anxiety and worry. Mindfulness-based training and Neuro-Feedback are used to reinforce the learning.
If this resonates with you, please contact us. You will be taking the first steps on your way to a better life. You've got this!
