Our Approach
Matters of the Heart Counseling Centers offers a strength based and integrative therapy approach that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to meet the needs of the client. Counselors will leverage elements from different schools of psychological theory and research that are evidence based and culturally aligned to a client’s individual characteristics, preferences, needs, physical abilities, spiritual beliefs and motivation levels.
We are culturally competent in the areas of race & ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability status, religious beliefs and other demographic characteristics. We provide a safe space for the client to explore their story and their feelings. We offer a collaborative treatment approach that encourages healing, growth and change.
