Can therapy work alongside medication?

Absolutely. We can connect you with a provider for a medication consult or coordinate with your doctor or psychiatrist to ensure a balanced approach to your care.

What if I don’t know where my depression or anxiety comes from?

That’s completely okay. You don’t need to have the answers before you begin. Therapy helps you explore patterns gently, uncover possible roots, and learn ways to manage symptoms even before full clarity arrives.

What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

That’s more common than you think. We take a different approach — integrating both talk and creative techniques that work with how your brain and body process emotion. You’ll always have a voice in shaping what feels useful and what doesn’t. Our practice also has multiple providers so if you feel one isn't the best fit, you can meet with someone else until you feel it is a match

When every day feels like a fight to stay afloat

You may wake up already tired. You’re doing everything you can to keep it together, yet joy feels out of reach, sleep won’t come easily, and your mind never stops racing.

Sometimes, it’s hard to remember who you were before the weight set in.

Depression and anxiety can make life feel smaller, but therapy helps you find the space to breathe again and reconnect with yourself.

What are depression and anxiety?

Depression and anxiety often work hand in hand. One pulling your energy down, the other keeping your mind in overdrive.

Both are signals from your body and brain that something needs care, not shame.

At The Empowerment Opportunity, we see these experiences as patterns that can be gently rebalanced.

Through integrative therapy, we help both sides of the brain work together - the thinking mind that makes sense of life, and the emotional mind that holds memory and feeling.

When these parts reconnect, healing begins to feel possible.

My experience with The Empowerment Opportunity has been fulfilling. Ross is kind, honest and a good listener. He gives me the space to talk, respects what I am comfortable with, and helps to guide me to a better understanding of what I may be experiencing. Both him and Mary have been readily available and responsive to my needs.
