About Changing Tides Therapy
At Changing Tides Therapy, we believe that personal growth and healing, like the ocean, are constantly in motion—sometimes calm, sometimes stormy, but always moving forward. The name Changing Tides reflects this dynamic process: the idea that life’s challenges, however overwhelming they may seem, are part of a natural rhythm of change. Our founder’s journey through loss and healing is at the heart of this vision, and it shapes the way we approach therapy for clients from all walks of life.
The Origin of the Name:
The name Changing Tides is deeply rooted in our founder’s own lived experience with grief. After losing her sister in a tragic car accident, she found herself immersed in the kind of sorrow she had only ever understood in theory as a therapist. The experience of grief was not just intellectual or academic anymore—it was raw, personal, and profoundly disorienting. But it was through this painful journey that she came to understand the complexity of human emotion on a much deeper level.
What started as an overwhelming and tumultuous experience of loss gradually became an important source of connection and empathy in her work. She learned firsthand how grief and pain, while deeply personal, are also universal. This understanding allows her to connect with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges, whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, or just feeling lost in the complexities of daily life.
At Changing Tides Therapy, we understand that everyone’s emotional experience is unique, but also that we all face moments of pain, loss, and uncertainty. Through the founder’s experience with grief, she has learned how to hold space for these struggles, offering both a compassionate, non-judgmental ear and effective therapeutic tools to help clients navigate their own changing tides.
Our Approach:
We offer a warm, supportive space where individuals can explore the challenges they face—whether those challenges are tied to grief, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, work stress, or any other mental health concern. With a deep understanding of the emotional rollercoaster that life sometimes brings, we take a holistic approach to therapy, addressing not only the mind, but also the body and spirit. Our work is grounded in empathy, and we draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Having walked through grief herself, our founder brings a powerful sense of understanding to the therapy room, and believes that the pain of difficult life experiences—whether from loss, trauma, or everyday stress—can provide valuable insights and opportunities for growth. These challenges do not define you, but they can help shape a path toward deeper self-awareness, healing, and resilience.
At Changing Tides Therapy, we believe that personal transformation is always possible, even in the face of life’s hardest moments. Just like the tides, our emotional lives are always shifting, sometimes pulling us under and other times lifting us up. Whatever you may be going through, we are here to walk with you as you navigate those shifts, supporting you every step of the way.
Healing for All Walks of Life:
Our practice is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. We know that life can be unpredictable and challenging, but we also know that healing is possible. Whether you're dealing with grief, facing anxiety, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking personal growth, we are here to provide the support, guidance, and tools you need to weather the storms and find a place of peace.
Your journey is your own, but you don’t have to walk it alone. At Changing Tides Therapy, we are here to support you through the challenges of life and to help you find a sense of stability, hope, and personal empowerment, no matter where you are on your path.
The tides may change, but healing is always possible.
