At Solid Foundations Therapy, we're proud to offer a more affordable path to counseling through our two master's-level therapy interns, who provide services at a reduced sliding scale rate.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, or simply looking for extra support, our interns provide compassionate, evidence-based care while completing their graduate training.

This is a wonderful opportunity to receive high-quality therapy at a lower cost without sacrificing the support and guidance you deserve.

If you've been thinking about starting therapy but cost has been a barrier, we'd love to help you find the right fit.

This week’s therapy tip from SFT therapist Kristi Green, ALMFT encourages taking time to notice your thought patterns.

Our thoughts influence how we feel, respond to challenges, and view ourselves and the world around us. By becoming more aware of recurring thoughts, we can begin to identify unhelpful patterns, challenge negative self-talk, and create space for healthier perspectives.

Greater self-awareness is often the first step toward meaningful growth, emotional balance, and lasting change. 💙

Family relationships are some of the most complicated ones we have, because the history runs deep and the stakes feel personal.

At Solid Foundations Therapy, we help you get to the root of what is actually driving the conflict, not just the arguments on the surface. You will learn specific communication skills, build clearer boundaries, and start to rebuild trust where it has broken down.

Family harmony is not a fantasy. It takes work, but it is possible.

This week’s therapy tip from SFT therapist Sarah Davidson, MFT, LPC encourages practicing one small act of kindness each day.

Simple acts of kindness, whether toward yourself or others, can boost mood, strengthen connections, increase gratitude, and create positive momentum during difficult times. Small intentional actions often have a greater impact on emotional well-being than we realize.

Taking a moment to offer encouragement, express appreciation, or extend compassion can make a meaningful difference in both your day and someone else's. 💙
