Why Life by Design Therapy™ Is Different
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Here’s what sets us apart:
✨ Personalized Care: Your journey is unique—and we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs.
✨ Holistic Healing: Healing isn’t just in your mind—it’s in your body. Our therapists integrate mind, body, and spirit, promoting deep, true healing.
✨ Somatic Wisdom: Traditional talk therapy isn’t enough. Our somatic therapy uncovers the deep, hidden emotional blocks trapped in your body.
✨ Support for All: Whether you're an adult navigating life's challenges, a couple seeking connection, a teen facing transitions, or a family aiming to strengthen bonds, our expertise spans across all age groups and relationships.
✨ Sliding Scale Rates: Providing accessible mental health is important to us. That is why each of our therapists hold a limited number of spots for sliding scale appointments. For reference, our standard rates typically start around $175, while sliding scale rates begin at just $90-$100 per session. If you're facing financial hardship and require a reduced fee, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your well-being is our priority.
