Therapy for Depression and Anxiety

At the Reflective Therapy Group (RTG), we are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective treatment for depression and anxiety. We have a specific focus on utilizing psychoanalytic psychotherapy in treatment, which is focused on helping you get to the heart of your struggles versus just focusing on managing symptoms. We will help you explore the root causes of your emotional struggles, empower you to gain new insights, challenge old and ineffective patterns, develop new coping strategies, and embark on a path toward lasting positive change. If you are seeking a therapeutic approach that goes beyond surface-level symptom management and facilitates true self-discovery, we are here to help.
