Why "Tempest"?  

So often we don't think to seek therapy until problems start to bombard us.  By that time, we may be concerned that the situation can seem like too much for a therapist to handle and continue to put off therapy.  Instead of waiting for a calm in the storm, we thrive helping people navigate the chaos in their lives.  The ultimate goal is, after navigating out of the current crisis, to identify your desired destination, and help you bridge to that "new normal" with fewer crises on the horizon.

Sometimes, we may feel like we are the tempest in our own lives.  We have worked with many individuals who felt - or were told - that they are "too much," that chaos follows them wherever they go.   We do not believe in lost or hopeless cases, or that some people are incapable of change.   Rather, we find Shakespeare's quote What's past is prologue to be a wonderful testament to the ability of people to create a new story from their past narrative, to adapt and evolve from their experiences. Ultimately, that quote is the source of the name as it comes from Shakespeare's play, The Tempest.
