"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."

At Downtown Therapy Associates (DTA), our therapists are trained to assist with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, substance abuse, and family dynamics. 

We believe that a good fit with one’s therapist is vital to effective counseling, as it fosters an environment of compassion and provides a safe space in which clients can be vulnerable. 

We are committed to helping you find a therapist who truly understands your unique experiences and how they have shaped your identity in the world, giving you the best possible starting point from which to explore your challenges and strengths together. 

We firmly believe that by strengthening ourselves first, we can help you build a solid foundation from which to pursue the life you desire.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Our approach at DTA is trauma-informed. 

This means our therapists will invite you to explore your experiences through the lens of “What happened to you?” rather than “What’s wrong with you?” 

By prioritizing the therapeutic relationship, clients can safely engage in meaningful dialogue about their past, evoking deeper insights into their emotional responses and facilitating personal growth.

This compassionate approach not only honors the complexity of trauma but also empowers individuals to reclaim their narratives, ultimately leading to profound healing and transformation.
