Our Story
Why getting real about mental health is so important to us.
Getting Real Counseling Center provides individual and relational counseling services to those who need it most. Our practice is a safe space to talk through your daily struggles and unlock your true potential. We pride ourselves in offering a place to talk without interruption, judgement, and perception of others getting in your way. Talk therapy can help you identify what you really want and need, help uncover the values and beliefs that drive you, your relationships, and your world view.
Specialties:
Our practice is happy to address anything that you believe is holding you back from living your best life, but we specialize in services catered to eating disorders (ED) and body image, LGBTQ+ issues, self-injury, trauma (emotional, physical, and religious), neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism Spectrum), kink, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), and relationships. Getting Real Counseling Center is the perfect place to talk and get assistance in developing a plan to change your life for the better.
Mission:
Our mission statement: To provide a safe space for people to grow and change.
We know the value of therapy- from both sides of the couch- and think everyone can benefit from a safe place to get real with themselves. We believe healthy people are growing and changing all the time and we love to be a part of that process by creating a “safe enough” space to explore these growth edges with realness and vulnerability. We know change is hard and uncomfortable but want to create as safe a place as possible to do this.
We also wanted to intentionally create a space that is anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, kink affirming, sex positive, Health At Every Size (HAES) oriented, and one that affirms and is familiar with working with issues related to ethical non-monogamy. Many therapists hold these values but don’t always advertise it or are willing to be public with these views. Not us! We believe being authentic with our beliefs and values is essential to us creating the work environment that we all want and to moving our world closer to a place where these attitudes are embraced and celebrated.
