Evidence based Holistic Therapy and Wellness Services
Break Free from Stress & Anxiety, Transcend Your Trauma, and Reclaim Your Authentic Self
What We Do
True transformation takes time. There’s really no if, ands or buts about that. It requires willingness to explore and face the patterns in your life that keep you small and create space to reconnect with who you are. At Direct Intentions, we work with trailblazers and creatives who have the courage to go deeper than surface-level issues because they have a genuine desire to evolve as a person.
Whether you’re struggling to navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, or one of life’s curveballs, we would love the opportunity to partner with you. Therapy and counseling provide you with an intentional space, free of distraction and judgment, to steady your nervous system, unpack what no longer serves you and align yourself authentically.
In addition to therapy and counseling, we also offer assistance with substance use evaluations.
Our Values
It’s not just what we do, but how we do it that sets us apart from other practices. Our work is built on honesty and respect. We dedicate our time to establish a solid foundation of trust with each person we serve because without it, progress is near impossible to achieve. We believe growth happens when you are met exactly where you are and given the space to openly explore, gain perspective and try new things.
Our approach is adaptive, intuitive and evidence based. We utilize a variety of different tools and techniques to offer a truly holistic experience. One that honors your story. Every conversation is real. No scripts, no cookie-cutter BS.
Whether you’re in search of a deeper understanding or in need of support as you recover from burnout, the work we do together is about investing in the best version of yourself. One that is resilient, grounded and whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, therapy provides a space to explore, heal, and grow. You’ll learn to face challenges with a new perspective and more confidence.
Do you accept insurance?
We don’t accept insurance because it often comes with rules that make it difficult to truly tailor services to your individual needs. Without it, you will get full privacy and flexibility without jumping through unnecessary hoops. If you have out-of-network benefits, we’re happy to provide superbills to help with reimbursement.
What happens during a substance use evaluation?
This evaluation involves a structured interview using a questionnaire to better understand your substance use. A detailed report will be submitted that is tailored for your legal or personal purposes.
Is EMDR only for people with trauma or PTSD?
EMDR was initially developed for trauma but is now used to address anxiety, grief, phobias, low self-esteem, depression, and other emotional challenges. If you feel “stuck” in patterns that aren’t serving you, EMDR might be a good fit. We’d love to hear from you to help you determine if it’s right for you.
Do you offer both in-person and online sessions?
Yes, we offer both options. You can come to our office in person or join sessions online from wherever you’re most comfortable. Most people join from the comfort of their couch, but some make it happen on their lunch break at work. Either way, you’ll get the same focused, quality care.
