Mental Health Counseling and Psychoeducation Center

Our Team

Balance & Thrive has a unique hiring process to guide us to choose qualified, experienced, and compassionate professionals. Our staff is dedicated to their clients and recognize the importance of continual professional development.They are also professionals who understand the importance of prioritizing their own emotional and physical health.

Our psychotherapists each have their own area of expertise which increases the Center’s knowledge base. This enhances the quality of clinical treatment and allows us to provide a team approach to treatment when needed. Our providers are clinically licensed, experienced, highly trained, and empathetic. Continuing education regarding cutting-edge research in neurobiology and social science helps our staff provide the most effective treatment. All treatment is trauma informed and culturally and LGBTQ sensitive. In addition, we offer prevention programs and have clinicians skilled in helping individuals process trauma. Each of our clinical staff members is a dynamic presenter and educator.
