What makes Headway Therapy different from other therapist practices

A group of women are together. This reflects concepts of therapy in Encinitas, CA. Our therapists in Encinitas, CA are able to provide therapy for women and postpartum therapy. Headway Therapy is an intentionally boutique-style practice. This means that I am selective with whom I work. The purpose of which is to ensure that my work with you is both meaningful, satisfying and remains focused on your needs and treatment goals. Why do we do this? Well, because not every therapist will be a great fit for every client. At first, that might sound counterintuitive. We’re therapists, we should be good with everyone, right? However, that’s not the case. I have specialty training in working with adult women, moms, folks beginning to grow their families, and trauma. So, I like to stay in my lane and do what I’m trained in. This means our work together is special. You will never just be “another client” in a “burgeoning caseload”.

Taking the time to get to know your story.

Sure, your past and present context is taken nto account when we work together. But, there is also recognition that you may have other providers supporting you. These providers are valuable consultants. This allows us to provide both continuity of care, as well as helping you feel completely supported. This is helpful when a treatment team approach can be particularly valuable.

When you become a client with a therapist at Headway Therapy, it will be different than any other counseling experience. You will experience an opportunity to develop a meaningful, insight-driven, professional relationship. A core value here, is the understanding that therapy is intended to be a professional yet deep and meaningful relationship. It provides a space in which you are able to voice your thoughts and feelings as they arise in the context of therapy, and allows you the space to process and explore how this develops in your interpersonal life. This allows you the opportunity to gain insights into yourself and make meaningful changes. All while feeling supported.
