Help & Motivation Starts with Self

From anxiety to trauma recovery, each of our greatest journeys starts with the relationship with self. At Invigor Therapeutic Services, our counseling aims to create self awareness in effort to restore and grow your relationship with you. Through laughter, honesty, and true exploration, we work to encourage each of you to lean into the journey starting here, starting with you.
“Therapy is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself, your family, and your goals”

Overcoming Anxiety

Worry and fear are a moment and if we learn to engage them properly, they don’t have to be a barrier to the life we dream.

Stepping Beyond Trauma

While we can’t always control what happens, our true power is found in how we respond to life’s unexpected events. 

Addiction Recovery

From substance abuse to our complex relationship with food, learning to approach addiction with the right perspective and tools can unlock a new life full of opportunities.

Navigating Criminal Justice

People navigating the criminal justice system can experience success and confusion. We offer support to better leverage these experiences for self discovery and, ultimately, a life beyond charges and offense.
