✨ Patient over Profit Mindset ✨
We're proud to do things a little differently around here.
Collaborative Partnership
Has a therapist ever made you feel like they’re above you? We’re here to change that. At Empower, we believe YOU are the expert in your own life. Think of us like the cheerleader on the sidelines—you’re the star quarterback. We walk alongside you, listening, guiding, and supporting every step of your journey, creating a plan that honors your goals, values, and experiences.
Safe & Welcoming Spaces
Step into Empower and feel at home. Our offices are like the cozy Pinterest board of your dreams, each reflecting our clinicians’ unique personalities through color, décor, and personal touches. Cozy up with pillows, blankets, and fidgets; grab a coffee, tea, or snack from our fully stocked babe cave; and settle into a space designed to help you feel seen, heard, and completely comfortable- because we’re over the cold, clinical vibe of traditional therapy offices.
Whole-Person Focus
At Empower, we know wellness doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Your mental, emotional, and physical health are all connected, which is why we take a holistic approach to care. We’re one of the only counseling centers in the area to employ a full-time dietitian trained in eating for mental health support. We also collaborate with women-owned primary care providers and offer referrals for medication management, ensuring you have comprehensive, coordinated care to thrive in every part of your life.
Our Impact
...because the numbers don't lie!
Don't take our word for it... here's what the community has to say!
"I am so thankful I found Empower and Sara C. I have been to a few therapists, and this establishment by far supersedes all my previous experiences. Professional, personable, transparent and informative regarding insurance and billing, and they truly care about your well being. They listen to your concerns and what you want to focus on while at the same time kindly opening you up to things you may not have noticed before. It has become a space that has made me feel like I belong. I have and will continue to recommend to others!"
"I have been seeing Darby for almost 2 years. She has been working with me on my nutrition and healthy lifestyle changes consistently. She has been a solid provider for me during major changes in my health and life and has always provided support, education and plan changes according to what I needed. She listens thoroughly and she always helps explaining nutrition facts with actual labels on products. I can't recommend Darby enough. She was exceptional in helping change my dietary plans when I became pregnant by adjusting my daily goals appropriately to support my journey as well as keeping me healthy and safe for the pregnancy. If I could give 100 stars I would."
"This is such a welcoming facility, you feel the zen as soon as you walk into the building. And welcoming staff as well. I highly recommend this to any woman in need of mental health services. There are other services offered here as well. They will be starting up group support services as well. Just starting? Just thinking about mental health support? The first step is the hardest but please trust me, you won’t be disappointed"
"Sara is down to earth. She isn't your typical therapist, she's very... unconventional. That is perfect for me. I started with Sara back in May of 2024 in another office. When she she moved to her own office I most definitely followed her. Sara is a great therapist and she offers flexible hours. Including Saturday's and evenings."
"Let me start off by saying that this is not your typical therapist / office. The staff is kind, patient, and fun. The entire space is comfy, cozy, it's super friendly, and you can be yourself. That's the most important part! Well tbh, the best part is all the good snacks and bevs they got and probably the therapy you receive. Lol. But for real, This is all about us.. women. This is a place for us to chill with each other, if we chose.. and you get your therapy. This is to uplift us, help build our self esteem, and to encourage us."
"I had previously seen a Nutritionist years ago that was a total disappointment, so I was reluctant to see another one. I must say, it was so refreshing visiting with Darby! She truly listens to your wants and needs and works WITH YOUR personal likes and dislikes to help you reach your goals. She will send you emails, with recipe suggestions and useful products and she is so easily available with any issues that may arise. I am happy to say that I have lost 11 pounds since seeing her once, and I look forward to losing more with her guidance. Do not hesitate! SHE CAN HELP YOU TOO!"
