At My Deaf Therapy, we believe you can go beyond survival. Self-care and advocating for our own interests are necessary skills, and they help us show up for others in a way that is sustainable and authentic. We are here to help you create boundaries that will help you live more fully.
Our clients often share a welcoming sense of relief from self-disclosure, where they may finally unmask the tired facades they carry and challenge the unwieldy burdens they shoulder. In this moment, a caring, non-judgmental, and experienced psychotherapist could not make for a better ally.
At My Deaf Therapy, we offer individual, couples, family, children, adolescents, adults and seniors with support related to:
