About Our Clients

Many of our clients come to us because they’re tired of therapy that feels fluffy or surface-level. At Symmetry of Self Counseling Center, we offer direct, authentic, and trauma‑informed care for adults and couples who want real change, not just a place to vent. While we specialize in working with veterans and first responders, we’re also a strong fit for civilians navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and major life transitions.

Our Background

At Symmetry of Self, we focus on more than just symptom management. Using a whole health approach and methods that help you achieve deep, lasting transformation. Our team doesn’t stop at offering tools and techniques—we work with you to uncover the root causes of your challenges and create meaningful change.

Our Personal Beliefs and Interests

We combine the latest approaches informed by scientific discoveries and diverse lived experiences with a genuine commitment to seeing the whole person—not just a diagnosis. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and at Symmetry of Self, we tailor our support to your specific needs. Please visit our website to schedule an appointment.
