Why Choose
Be Well Psychology?
I believe therapy should be:
Empathetic
Effective therapy is like talking to someone who really gets you. They feel for you and help you feel less alone with your troubles.
Nonjudgmental
In therapy, you should be able to talk about anything without worry. The therapist won’t judge you; they’re there to help, not to blame.
Collaborative
Therapy is a team effort. You and an effective therapist work together like partners to help you feel better and solve your problems.
