Hi. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I wanted to introduce us! Essentially You Counseling and Wellness Services, LLC opened its doors in December of 2017. We are a team of licensed therapists who all share the vision of helping others realize their true potential, define a purpose, find peace and live the life they desire to live.

Here at Essentially You, we work with individuals and families with a wide array of behavioral health concerns. We want to connect with you in hopes we can be of assistance in supporting the work you do with your patients/clients. We are sure your schedule is very busy, however if you’re interested in chatting on the phone or a quick meet up, one of our team members would be glad to stop by and talk about how we might collaborate.

If you have any questions or would like to talk please give us a call or shoot us an email.

2. What if I don’t know what kind of therapy I need?
You don’t need to diagnose yourself before contacting us.

During the initial process, we’ll learn more about what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping to accomplish. From there, we can help determine which type of therapist or service may be most appropriate.

3. How do I know which therapist is right for me?

Your therapist will work with you to determine an appropriate frequency based on your concerns, goals, treatment needs, and progress. Your treatment plan can also change as your needs change.
