Our Story
Who we are
We started Modern Therapy as place where people can find the answers they need to move forward in their life,
a place where being happy and satisfied in your life either as an individual or a couple is a goal worth working towards.
We are therapists dedicated to a direct and interactive style of therapy, grounded in a deep understanding of the work.
What we Do
Information and Context
We know how the human brain and body work. From understanding how sleep, diet, and exercise can impact you, to how dysregulation can wreak havoc on your relationships. We aren’t going to make you guess or “figure it out.” We don’t ask “And does that make you feel?” You tell us what doesn’t work for you, and we’ll try and help you understand what is going on “under the hood.”
Resilience
There are plenty of practices that will validate all the challenges you have faced. They can detail how trauma works and the damage it can do. At Modern Therapy, we take the position that bad things happen (some clearly much worse than others) but what most of us really want are the skills to deal with the challenges and move forward. We can help you find strength and reserves you may not know you had.
Perspective
Half of the therapeutic process is deepening your understanding of your life and the lives of those around us. Whether you are facing a difficult decision or fighting with your partner all the time, what is often needed is an understanding of situation and how it fits into your values. There is no single or universal definition of happiness, but with time and commitment we can help you find yours.
Behavior
The other side of perspective is behavior. Sometimes we find that our behavior falls outside the values we hold for ourselves. We may have struggled to change that behavior, but nothing seems to work. We understand how behaviors manifest and how to move towards the changes you want and need. We are committed to helping you become the person you want to be.
