Anxiety can make people feel like they live in a constant state of Fight, Flight or Freeze. It can be debilitating, causing physiological, psychological, and behavioral issues.

Left untreated, depression can be devastating. Fortunately, with early detection, diagnosis and a treatment plan, people can and do get better.

Relationship stress can affect communication, trust, emotional connection, and family stability. Therapy can help couples navigate conflict, transitions, and ongoing challenges.

Trauma can cause persistent distress, nightmares, painful flashbacks, hypervigilance, and continuous sleep issues — which can be alleviated with therapy.

I've been seeing Muriell for months and her counseling has been a godsend during a difficult time of intense anxiety and stress. She has helped me deal with a range of struggles including financial hardship, adjusting to life in a new city, and a string of debilitating panic attacks. I've lived with anxiety for several years and seen several specialists — the guidance and strategies from Muriell have been very effective. She offers some of the best treatment I have ever received.

Muriell and her team are amazing. I met with Muriell for almost a year and was able to accomplish and achieve so much personally and professionally. I am truly a much more confident person because of her. I just started working with another member of her team and I'm excited to see what I'm able to discover and improve next. I always feel empowered and lighter after each session. Truly passionate professionals — I am forever grateful.

Best experience ever. For a good while I was trying to find the right therapist and I almost lost hope until I found my current therapist. Louise has been so welcoming and supportive of the things I say or do, and has really driven me to continue to be better for myself and for others around me. I look forward to many more years of friendship.

Sessions are 50–60 minutes, cost $130 (or may be covered by insurance for individual counseling), and you can start with a free 20-minute consultation to ease into the process.
