Values

At Guest House, we:

  • Have a foundational belief in the inherent and unconditional goodness of every individual. This belief drives every other value we hold.

  • Work to "stand in awe at what folks have to carry rather than in judgment at how they carry it." -Greg Boyle

  • Understand the profound need for love, connection, and belonging for human thriving.

  • Believe "each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done" or the worst thing that has happened to us.

  • Practice a neutral and compassionate stance towards emotions, acknowledging everything belongs as part of the human journey.

  • Firmly believe in the power of hope. Change, contendedness, and peace are possible.

At Guest House, we work to create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to process their experiences and emotions. We take great pride in helping you feel safe, seen, and heard.

Our eclectic approach to therapy draws from evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and is all grounded in a foundation of mindfulness. 

Because each individual's journey is unique, we tailor our therapeutic approach to your specific needs, strengths, and goals. 

We believe that our evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, combined with our personal experience and deep understanding of this population's needs, can help you find healing and move forward with greater clarity, peace, and wholeness.
