Your story continues here, it’s time for a new chapter
We help you untangle the story you’re stuck in so you can finally live the one they're meant for.
We're here to walk with you and be your guide as you reclaim who you really are – underneath the pain, the patterns, and the stories that were never really yours to begin with.
Every story matters. Especially yours.
You’ve tried therapy before, but you’re still carrying the same burden.
You’re tired of feeling stuck in patterns that don't serve you anymore, and you want someone who won't just nod along – someone who actually gets curious about your story and helps you see what you couldn't see before.
You're ready to do the deep work, not just talk around the edges.
No story too big. No story too small.

Where every story finds its place.
Here's what sets us apart:
We listen between the lines – noticing the pause before your answer, the shift when certain names come up, the places where your real story lives
100% trauma-focused training – every therapist equipped to go as deep as you're ready to go
We practice what we preach – our entire team has done their own therapy work because you can't guide someone where you've never been
Quick response, real availability – usually within 24 hours, often with next-day appointments
A therapist for every story – from complex trauma to relationship struggles, we specialize in finding the right fit
We make connections you couldn't see before. We notice patterns. We hold space for the complexity of who you are – not just your symptoms, but your humor, your strength, your capacity to change.
We're the ones who bring laughter and authenticity back into therapy.
The team that believes warmth and expertise aren't mutually exclusive. The people who create spaces that feel more like coming home than going to an appointment.
At Stories Counseling we are grounded professionals who've done our own work & listen with our whole hearts. We believe your story – all of it – has value.
Getting started is simpler than you think
-
Call, text, or contact us online. Our office manager will listen to what you actually need.
-
We'll match you with the right therapist – someone who specializes in your specific story.
-
Show up exactly as you are. We'll meet you there.
"But what if..."
-
We specialize in the stories other practices refer to us. Sometimes it's about finding the right approach, the right person, the right time to go deeper.
-
We offer sliding scale fees when possible and provide superbills for insurance reimbursement. Money shouldn't keep you from healing.
-
Most people don't. That's exactly what our intake process is designed to figure out – what you need and who can best provide it.
-
There's no story too broken, too complex, or too lost to find healing here. We've walked through the darkest places with people, and we're not afraid of yours.
Your story is still being written.
The chapters that brought you here – the pain, the patterns, the places you got stuck – they're not the end.
They're just the beginning of understanding who you really are underneath it all.
Every story matters.
Every story can change.
Even yours.
