We’re a different kind of mental health practice.
Stafford and Associates is
where clinical meets compassionate.
Our practice is based on the idea that every person has the right to live a happy and genuine life. We believe in the power of transformation and it’s a privilege to accompany our clients on their path to wellness and personal empowerment.
what sets us apart
Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations.
We take an INDIVIDUALIZED approach to care.
We don’t simply engage in talk therapy to help you through life’s toughest issues. We use Schema Therapy, or the identification of unhealthy patterns and how they developed, to untangle a lifetime of events that led to your current issues.
Through a process of information gathering and analysis, we help you recognize your behavior, understand the underlying causes and change your thoughts and habits so that you’re better able to handle emotions in healthy, productive ways.
The care we give our clients is highly custom, as we understand that no two people, and no response to life’s challenges is the same.
