If you suffer with a body focused repetitive behavior(BFRBs) such as hair pulling, please reach out for a consult. I’m participating in research for best practice/evidence based treatment for BFRBs. I am still looking for a client who’s interested in working on this issue.

Pulling out my hair felt good. I desperately wanted to stop. I never wanted to stop.

Daisy Mae is the only client that gets an “in-person” appointment for the rest of the week. Everyone else gets a remote session. If you’ve chosen video chat for therapy at CLC this week you’ll receive a link 10 minutes prior to your appointment. Simply click on the link and a HIPPA secure browser will open for your session.

We are continuing to offer new client spots if you’re interested in using your downtime to get started with therapy.

We're tired of having a waitlist at Creative Life Counseling. It's tough being popular. So, we're doing the only thing we know to do, expand! Are you a great therapist or do you know one that would be a good fit for our practice? We are now accepting resumes for our open therapist positions. We'd like to start by hiring CSWs, AMHC and AMFTs so that we can quickly clear our waiting list. Take a look at our ad and see if we might be a good fit for you or someone you know.
