It's okay to not be okay.

Empowering You Therapy is a mental health service focused on helping you overcome life's challenges. We provide individual therapy to adolescents (13+) and adults. We believe in an “Empowerment Approach” and that even though you may not realize it you have many strengths and skills within you that we build upon and use in reaching your goals. We want you to know that it’s okay, to not be okay. You deserve it and owe it to yourself to gain back control of your life and live to your fullest potential. Regardless of what brings you to seek therapy services we are here to help in your journey. We understand that therapy can be tough at times and making the initial appointment can be the hardest step. Empowering You Therapy provides a warm, non-bias, safe, and therapeutic environment. We want your experience to be as comfortable as possible and that’s why we provide a free 15-minute consultation to all clients. Call today to schedule your appointment at 480-442-9089.
