Rhys Conger

 

Marriage and Family Therapy Associate

I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel safe to explore your past, present, and goals for the future. My style is collaborative, non-judgmental, and transparent. I believe strongly in the healing power of learning, connection, and humor.

I became interested in becoming a therapist as a teenager, after having a positive experience of it at a time when I felt especially isolated and overwhelmed. I found having my own dedicated space, to process and explore my thoughts and feelings, to be deeply helpful. I believe strongly in working collaboratively with others and I aim to be a kind and supportive resource for you on your journey.

In my personal life, I enjoy trying new recipes, playing video games, and listening to audio-books while I cook. I also enjoy watching reality television and spending (arguably too much) time on the internet.

I assist clients who are experiencing a range of presenting concerns including: anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, identity, adverse childhood experiences, stress, shame, and psychosis.

Areas of Focus

Who I Work With: Adults

While I work with a wide range of people and presenting problems, some of my most common topics of focus include:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Suicidal Ideation

  • Psychosis

  • LGBTQIA+

  • Values

  • Shame

Counseling Technique

My approach is client centered and strengths based, which means I believe you are the best expert on your own life and I'm here to support you on the goals you want to work on. Whether it's just needing a space to vent, wanting to fill out some therapy worksheets to discuss, or taking a mindfulness walk, let me know what you think would be most helpful and we'll figure out what we can do.
