Why Choose East Coast Psychotherapy & Trauma Clinic
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.
Who you are and the struggles you’ve faced are as unique as the DNA you carry. We strive to create a safe space where people can explore difficult issues and experience transformational change. We believe in diversity, social justice and we stand in support of racial, gender, and cultural equality.
We believe that everyone should have access to helpful, high-quality, up-to-date therapy.
