INSPIRE PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING

About Us

No two people are the same. We all approach the challenges, stresses, and joys in life differently.  And the journey we embark on may not always bring us to our desired destination. Inspire Professional Counseling desires to journey with our clients to their desired destination.  Using our unique blend of empathy, understanding, and appreciation of diverse individuals coupled with the most effective evidence-based practice knowledge and practice techniques, our goal is to inspire our clients to be their best selves.  

Our work can extend beyond the clinical session to incorporate a treatment team approach. Many of our clients appreciate the collaboration with ancillary providers such as doctors, psychiatrists, teachers, IEP teams, Casas, social workers, case managers, and even members of one’s extended family systems.  We believe that the incorporation of this type of approach allows us to better understand our clients and their clinical presentations. Progress can be achieved sooner and a holistic approach to the treatment process allows our clients to appreciate and feel additional support. Overall, it is our goal that our clients feel acceptance, understanding, and relief from the stressors and dynamics that hold them back from enjoying their best lift.
