Does your child need help expressing their emotions or navigating life’s challenges?
At Silver Birch, we understand how deeply you care about your child and how overwhelming it can feel when they’re struggling. Our child therapy provides a safe and nurturing space for your child to express themselves, process their emotions, and develop healthy ways to cope with life’s challenges. Using approaches like play therapy, sand tray therapy, and other evidence-based techniques tailored to your child’s developmental stage, we work to help them build confidence, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships.
Is navigating the challenges and pressures of adolescence or young adulthood impacting you or someone close to you?
Adolescence and early adulthood are times of significant change, growth, and self-discovery often accompanied by unique challenges and uncertainties. At Silver Birch, we specialize in providing compassionate support tailored to the needs of teens and young adults during this critical stage of life. Whether it’s managing academic pressures, exploring identity, building self-esteem, relationship challenges, or addressing anxiety and depression, we offer a safe, non-judgmental space for personal growth. Together, we can help you intentionally move towards the life you want to create.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward?
Individual therapy at Silver Birch is a personalized, comprehensive experience tailored to address your unique needs and circumstances. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, we provide a compassionate space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Our approach focuses on helping you uncover your strengths, understand your challenges, and develop tools for lasting growth.

Do you feel disconnected from your partner, or like you’re speaking different languages?
Couples therapy at Silver Birch helps you and your partner rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional intimacy. Using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), we help you build stronger, more secure emotional connections with your partner. EFT is a research-supported method with 90% of couples reporting significant relationship improvements and 70-75% of couples moving from distress to recovery. Couples have seen positive outcomes such as reduced conflict, increased trust, and having a more supportive relationship. These have also been proven to continue after therapy concludes. Whether you’re navigating conflicts, life transitions, or just want to grow together, we’re here to support your relationship.
Does your family struggle with communication or unresolved conflict?
At Silver Birch, we understand that families can face challenges that leave everyone feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Family therapy provides a supportive space for your family to navigate struggles like conflict, communication difficulties, life transitions, trauma, or behavioral concerns with guidance and understanding. Together, we’ll explore patterns contributing to stress and develop healthier ways of interacting. No matter how challenging things feel right now, we are here to help your family move toward greater connection, mutual respect, and positive change.
Is your family seeking support to navigate the joys and complexities of the adoption or fostering journey?
Welcoming a foster or adoptive member into your family is a profound experience filled with moments of joy, challenges, and growth. At Silver Birch, we understand the unique dynamics, emotions, and transitions that come with building families through fostering and adoption. Our compassionate, tailored therapy services provide a safe space to strengthen bonds, deepen understanding, and ensure every family member feels valued, supported, and connected.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the emotional and physical challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, or adjusting to parenthood?
The perinatal period is a transformative time, filled with joy, uncertainty, and change. At Silver Birch, we provide support to individuals, couples and families during these transitions. Whether you’re preparing for a baby, concerned about postpartum depression or anxiety, or adjusting to the demands of parenting, our tailored care helps you navigate each new chapter with confidence.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caring for a loved one?
Being a caregiver is an act of love and dedication, but it can also bring emotional and physical exhaustion, stress, and feelings of isolation. At Silver Birch, we’re here to take care of you.

At Silver Birch, we provide a nonjudgmental space to explore your beliefs, process your experiences, and help you create a relationship with faith, spirituality, or meaning that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Are you seeking a therapist who truly understands and affirms your identity?
At Silver Birch, we see you as all that you are and want to celebrate that with you. We have worked to create a safe and inclusive therapeutic space, one in which you can be seen and understood in all your identities. We have worked with various members of the LGBTQIA+ community navigating issues around coming out, relationships, discrimination, self-acceptance, and reconciling aspects of their identity that may feel in conflict or misunderstood by yourself or others. We are dedicated to walking with you while you navigate the joy and trials of your authentic identity.
Does the weight of navigating systemic barriers, microaggressions, and cultural expectations leave you feeling exhausted and frustrated?
As a member of the global majority, balancing your personal identity with the pressures of a society that marginalizes your experiences can feel like an endless burden, chipping away at your sense of peace. At Silver Birch, we celebrate every aspect of your identity while honoring and validating your lived experiences. Through cultural humility and compassionate care, we provide a space to process these challenges and work toward easing the weight of oppression with understanding, empowerment, and healing.
Do you ever feel like the responsibility of being the boss leaves you unsure of where to turn?
The weight of constant decision-making, ensuring you’re doing right by your team, and navigating the loneliness of leadership can feel overwhelming. At Silver Birch, we understand the unique challenges of being at the top. We are here to provide a space where you can process these pressures, gain clarity, and focus on your well-being—because a healthy leader creates a healthy team. Together, we’ll work to help you find balance, confidence, and connection in both your professional and personal life.
Do you feel drained and unappreciated, struggling with exhaustion, detachment, or the overwhelming pressure to meet institutional demands?
As a healthcare provider, the weight of caring for others can often overshadow your own well-being. At Silver Birch, we understand the unique challenges you face, from compassion fatigue to burnout. We are here to provide a safe, supportive space where you can process your experiences, rediscover your purpose, and regain a sense of balance in both your professional and personal life. Together, we’ll work to restore your energy, resilience, and passion for what you do.
Does the idea of opening up to others feel intimidating but you are looking for more out of your therapeutic journey?
