About Us
Meeting you where you are…
Life comes at you fast, and it can feel impossible to stay afloat: Work, social life, school, hobbies, family… sleep?! Who has the time anymore?!
Life can be so overwhelming that you find yourself paralyzed and procrastinating. Then, the shame and guilt kick in about all that wasted time. UGH… you find yourself in that same vicious cycle of anxiety, numbing out, self-hate, and exhaustion… over and over and over.
Therapy is a commitment to yourself. Adding weekly therapy might feel like another “to-do” on your list. We know…it can feel daunting.
BUT…
Therapy is a safe and secure space to process your emotions, fears, and frustrations so that you can rediscover your sense of self. It’s where you can show up for yourself with compassion, curiosity, and commitment. Taking the time each week FOR YOU to lean into healing is one of the most powerful and enriching steps you can take to live a more fulfilling life. Knowing you have a time and place to vent, emote, and be seen without judgment allows you to function more effectively in your day-to-day.
So, instead of thinking of therapy as a “to-do,” reframe it as a “FOR YOU.”
Our therapists at Stark Therapy Group aren’t “blank slates.” You know… the ones who stare at you without emotion, lecturing you on what you should or shouldn’t do… maybe handing you a cookie-cutter worksheet and calling it a day. Ugh… that sounds terrible, doesn’t it?
No, our therapists are relational, showing up for you with human-to-human empathy, curiosity, and engagement.
It’s all about human connection. After all, we need it to survive! Feeling connected to and cared for by our therapists is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle. It makes the therapy room one of the best places to explore secure attachment and repair old wounds. Having a relational therapist who will accept, advocate, encourage, and support you on your journey is key to achieving the healing you desire.
When you sign in for therapy, you’ll be met with a warm face that’s excited to see you. For every session, you’ll have a committed professional who treats you with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and curiosity.
We will trust YOUR process.
Hey… guess what? We are not the experts here. YOU are! Our therapists will work with you as your advocate, team member, and supporter. We believe that YOU hold the key to your healing. Our therapists are here to help guide and support that process. By dismantling the power dynamic of “therapist is the expert,” you’ll enjoy a more egalitarian environment for processing.
Your story is IMPORTANT, and you know yourself better than anyone else. We believe that, and we believe you. Our collaborative approach to therapy leads to dynamic relational healing, healthy attachments, ethical trauma processing, and long-term, deep transformation.
We’re here for you…
every step of the way.
We’re here to explore the hills and valleys of your life experience. And we believe in you and your ability to live a life full of joy and authenticity.
The first step is often the hardest one to take. But you’ve come this far, and you can do hard things, so you can do this! You may even be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to set up a FREE consultation with one of our wonderful therapists.
We can’t wait to meet you.
