Our Philosophy

The counselors at Clarity Centers strive to help you obtain self knowledge, practice self control, and gain clarity of mind. We do this so that you may learn to live more fully, laugh more openly, and love more unconditionally. Our goal is to offer fully engaged and guided conversations with someone wise and merciful.

Regardless of the treatment style or modality used in counseling, the rapport between patient and therapist is the most essential ingredient of growth. The “who” almost always outweighs the “how.” Ask us to explain this further.

We bring backgrounds in psychiatry, nursing, guidance and education, couples counseling, mindfulness, chronic pain management, forensic counseling, sports coaching, community mental health, pastoral counseling, biofeedback, hypnotherapy, traumatology, sex therapy, grief counseling, and psychological testing.
