Is Our Clinic a Match for You?
Grounded in science, guided by compassion. We're here to help you live lighter.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and research shows that one of the most important predictors of success in therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. That’s why we place so much value on building a strong, collaborative connection, because when it feels like a good fit, real progress happens. We start with a 30-minute consultation, so that you can get a feel for our approach and decide if we’re the right match.
We Can Help With...
Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone. Here are just some of the challenges we support:
Anxiety & Overthinking
From panic attacks to OCD, social anxiety, phobias, or that constant “what if?” loop, we’ve got tools that help bring clarity and calm.
Recurring Depression
If low moods keep cycling back or you feel stuck in a fog, we’ll work together to break the pattern and bring light back in.
Managing Anger
Whether it’s simmering frustration or sudden outbursts, we help you understand what’s beneath the anger, and how to respond differently.
Relationship Struggles
Romantic, family, or work relationships feeling complicated or draining? Let’s unpack it all and build healthier connections.
Self-Worth & Confidence
We’ll help shift the inner dialogue from “not enough” to “I’m doing okay”, and understand why self-acceptance has been difficult to achieve.
Body Image & Eating Challenges
If you find yourself struggling with how you see your body or occasional binge-eating, we’ll explore it with care and compassion.
- Eating disorders involving severe restriction or frequent purging
- Recurring self-harm or treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder
- Experiences of psychosis or delusional thinking
- Physical aggression or domestic violence
- Severe substance addiction (drugs or alcohol)
- Autism Spectrum-related concerns
If you’re navigating any of these, we recommend connecting with a specialist who can offer the most appropriate care. You deserve support that truly fits.
Below are some areas that are beyond the scope of what we currently offer:
Compassionate Care Backed by Science
I’m Dr. Michelle Collins. and I founded this clinic because I believe in therapy that’s both warm and grounded in real science. I’m a Clinical and Health Psychologist, with over 20 years of experience helping adults and teens (ages 16+) navigate a broad range of problems, from every day stress and life transitions, to more complex struggles like OCD, panic, PTSD, and severe depression. My approach is collaborative. You’re the expert on you, I’m here to guide with tools and insight.
Meet our Providers
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Choosing someone to work with can be difficult, especially if it is your first time entering into therapy. We view the first visit as no commitment, but rather a chance for you to see if you are comfortable with us and our approach, and for us to listen to your difficulties and understand your goals for treatment. We begin with a 30-minute Needs Assessment with our Clinic Director, to offer some initial insights, and match you to the best provider for you, based on your preferences, availabilities, and provider areas of expertise. By the end of your first or second visit with your assigned therapist, you can expect them to share a treatment plan with you, and decide if you would like to work together moving forward. If this is of interest to you, the first step is to contact our Clinic and schedule a Needs Assessment.
We’re happy to work alongside other professionals (think: your doctor, a nutritionist, even a personal trainer) to support your whole self.
