Our Approach at Changing Tides
Becoming an adult doesn’t have to be scary. You just need the right support along the way.
Our approach is guided by our collective belief that you have the wisdom and vision within yourself to be successful in your life. It’s okay to need some help figuring it all out. We’ve all been there.
We see therapy and college/career advising as being naturally in relationship to one another. In therapy, you’ll work to figure out what your values are, explore beliefs or narratives that are getting in your way, and develop confidence in yourself. It’s much easier to write a compelling personal statement or to make decisions about what type of career to pursue once you have clarity about who you are and what is important to you. Writing your story with the support of an advisor can itself be healing as you put your insights and vision for your future down on paper. And then, once you’ve stepped into your future and started college or entered the workforce, we know you’re much more likely to be successful if you’ve developed both coping skills and a sense of purpose to make your way through stressful moments.
Whether you choose individual therapy, college/career advising, or some combination, we will partner with you to clarify, uncover, and celebrate your unique strengths. We know that you have the capacity to become whoever it is you want to be and to make meaningful contributions to the world.
