4 Reasons people enjoy counseling at Head & Heart

We Aren’t Scared Of Medical Jargon

We’re super comfortable with medical jargon. We do a ton of background research on our clients to fully understand their diagnosis or disability. We also deep-dive into clients’ medical histories to create solutions tailored to them.

We collaborate With You

Our therapy together is an exercise in teamwork. We have conversations and help you brainstorm through your challenges. We work as a teammate with you in trying to solve specific day-to-day problems.

We Use A Mind-Body Approach

We address both emotional/mental issues alongside the physical issues as there is often a connection between the two. We’re comfortable discussing not only how to deal with existential dilemmas such as figuring out life’s direction and purpose, but also how to deal with practical issues such as chronic fatigue and creating accessible spaces.

We Have a Wide Range Of Tools

Having worked with people with many different types of diagnoses and disabilities for over a decade, we have many insights and resources we can provide. We frequently utilize our connections within this community for our clients.

Even as you overcome huge changes in your life

OWNER of Head & Heart Family Therapy

Here at Head & Heart, we’re proud to offer counseling for people who have had their life flipped upside down by a diagnosis, injury, or disability and want to live a full life. The problem is after such a dramatic change, it is difficult to imagine how life is going to get better. This can leave someone feeling hopeless and lost.

I firmly believe it's possible to live a fulfilling and successful life no matter how dramatic, crazy, or rare the situation that has flipped your life upside down is. Using my degree in Exercise Physiology, I worked for almost a decade providing exercise-based rehab to people living with paralysis, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological diagnoses.

During this time, I realized there was a major gap in helping people heal.  While they’re physical bodies were being addressed, the mental health component of recovery was not being addressed.  This was causing so many to fall short of their goals to get their lives back on track. So, I went back to school for a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for people dealing with health challenges and disabilities just like you. 

Your next chapter doesn’t have to be living an isolated life stuck in your house or feeling disconnected from the people closest to you. Head and Heart will help you find a path forward as you overcome this huge transition in your life. 

You can write a new chapter for your future and gain the hope and confidence to live a purposeful and fulfilling life. If you would like our support, your next step is to call (909) 255-6554 to schedule your first appointment.
