Our Team

Why choose Empower Counseling for your counseling journey?

We specialize in Acceptance Commitment Therapy, a higher level cognitive behavioral therapy, that is unique and comprehensive. Through Act, we will assess and learn the root cause of the problems you are experiencing. We will help you uncover and outline your needs and goals. Then we will architect an individualized plan to accomplish your goals through the tenants of ACT. We love ACT because it is proven effective for anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and difficult life transitions, among other issues. But it can take you farther than increased mental wellbeing. We love ACT because it offers a framework to achieve a more satisfying and fulfilling life. And who doesn’t want that? We also offer other proven effective methods of treatment for eating disorders, addiction, as well as EMDR Therapy for anxiety, trauma, and PTSD.
