WHAT TO EXPECT

What is Therapy Like at Serene Horizons?

We’re experts in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a powerful tool that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We consistently see that CBT helps our clients make significant shifts in their mindset, attitudes, behaviors, and relationships. To complement CBT, we also incorporate mindfulness and acceptance techniques into our therapy sessions.

SPECIALIZATIONS

Emotion and Life Management

If your life has been feeling unmanageable lately, please know that you’re not alone. When we’re busy, it’s all too easy to neglect self-care or let others ignore our boundaries. You don’t have to settle for just “getting by,” though. Through therapy at Serene Horizons, you can learn healthy and practical skills to manage life stressors. We don't just talk about change; we teach you how to make it happen. Whether you're experiencing work stress, relationship issues, or personal growth hurdles, we'll equip you with a toolkit of strategies to manage your emotions and your life with greater ease. You can also learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, validate your needs, and look at life from a new perspective.

SPECIALIZATIONS

Addiction and Recovery

We intend to encourage and guide conversations that will help achieve your goals.

After scheduling your initial session, you will complete the intake paperwork through the client portal at least 24 hours before your appointment.

During the first session, we will try to get to know you better and create a foundation for our work together. We will have questions about who you are and what brought you to therapy. You are welcome to share anything you would like us to know as part of your personal journey. We will also establish goals together. Before we conclude the initial appointment, we will check-in about what you think and how you feel about the first session and see if you are interested to move forward. In the event that you need a higher level of care and/or we are not a good fit for you, we will make the appropriate referrals.
