Healing is Possible!
Welcome! I am already noticing your bravery just by being here; looking for an avenue to explore your mental health. You are not alone in the uncomfortable feelings that are working against you in your everyday success. It is you, it is me, it is the family member who seems to have it all together, it is your neighbor down the street, it is the idol that you look up to, it is all of us. As the founder of Fortitude Mental Health, I am eager to help you navigate these uncertainties with the upmost understanding and compassion for the delicacy of your mental health. You do not have to struggle alone. Together we can!
Services
Feeling stuck or lost within yourself? Individual therapy can improve exploration of self and enhance personal fulfillment.
With a common goal of improving mental health and enhancing self-awareness we will work within the client-counselor relationship to gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
The support of Fortitude Mental Health allows clients to enter a confidential and safe space to explore a wide range of issues from depression, anxiety, lack of identity, shame, suicidal ideation, life transitions, and boundary setting.
Wanting to be heard and validated is completely normal in relationships. We ache to be understood by those around us, and with that comes fear of being vulnerable with others. In relationship therapy we will work to understand the background of attachment styles and how that is playing a role in your present relationship.
Fortitude Mental Health focuses on Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to uncover the root of attachment styles, relationship feedback, and emotions to better understand one another while fostering a comfortable and safe environment for vulnerability. Often times, relationships become stuck in a familiar pattern that is difficult to adjust to receive a desired outcome. With the help of Fortitude Mental Health, we can help open the mind and rediscover healthy relationship feedback that will foster more secure connection within the relationship itself.
Looking for relationship therapy? You have made the first right step to improving your relationship whether that be romantically, in friendship, roommates, siblings, etc.
I have yet to meet a family that does not have challenges. Your family being here, makes you normal. As we grow as individuals, our familial patterns change, our interactions adapt, and one day we find ourselves wondering how we got here. In family therapy, we will work together to uncover the confusion, resolve conflict, improve communication, and strengthen the family system.
Family therapy is helpful for those who find themselves in life transitions such as divorce, illness, death, moving, or unemployment. It is also beneficial to those experiencing relational conflict between family members.
Did you find yourself resonating with any of these? Then you are in the right place. Fortitude Mental Health wants to help!
