Wildflower clinicians are trained in evidence-based approaches to anxiety, depression and other mood disorders.This being said, we do not believe in providing manualized treatment that fails to attune to the unique context of every client’s life. Your therapist will be curious about your particular circumstances, preferences, and needs, and will actively collaborate with you to determine what approaches are likely to be of help.

We are guided by the belief that the effectiveness of mental health support is predicated on a genuine, respective, collaborative, and attuned psychotherapist-client relationship. We strive to provide culturally sensitive, inclusive, and affirming services to all our clients, and are committed to ongoing self-education and reflection.

Psychotherapy works best when it is a creative and equal partnership between the client who is the ultimate expert on their life and the mental health professional who brings to the relationship their specific knowledge, clinical experience, compassion, and profound desire to be of assistance.
