Tricia Ames

My communication style

I create an empathetic, compassionate, and professional space focused on understanding and supporting you without judgment. My goal is to help you feel heard, valued, and accepted. I take a personable approach that allows trust to build, healing to occur, and you to feel empowered to navigate challenges with support and kindness.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to support and empower children, teens, and adults through life's challenges. Helping others heal, grow, and build stronger relationships drives my passion for this work. I believe in the intrinsic worth of each individual and that growth and change are always possible.

My goals for you

I offer a strength-based approach, focusing on your strengths to build confidence and resilience. I create objectives that consider your individual needs, strengths, and challenges. I encourage honest feedback and modify strategies as needed. By centering therapy on your unique journey, growth becomes more meaningful and sustainable.

Our first session

Expect a welcoming and supportive environment where I'll ask questions to understand your background, concerns, and goals. It's a chance for you to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. This session is about gathering information and building rapport. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions about the process.
