OUR SERVICES
Psychotherapy Services
We offer psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, and adults. Our goal is to help individuals maximize their full potential through careful reflection on their actions and thought patterns, providing personalized support to enhance mental and emotional well-being.
We provide a safe and supportive environment where children, adolescents, and adults can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, working towards positive change and personal growth. Our providers use a variety of evidence-based modalities to address the diverse needs of our clients:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It helps individuals develop healthier thinking and coping strategies to manage a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. It emphasizes living in accordance with one’s values and committing to actions that enrich life.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. It is particularly effective for individuals struggling with emotional regulation, interpersonal difficulties, and self-destructive behaviors.
- Behavioral Activation: Behavioral Activation is a structured approach designed to help individuals increase engagement in meaningful and valued activities. By scheduling and monitoring daily activities, this modality assists individuals in identifying and overcoming avoidance behaviors. It promotes positive experiences and reinforces healthy behaviors, leading to improved mood and overall well-being. Behavioral Activation is effective for a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and stress, by encouraging individuals to reconnect with activities that bring joy and fulfillment.
- Trauma-Informed Therapy: Trauma-Informed Therapy is designed to understand and consider the pervasive nature of trauma and promote environments of healing and recovery rather than practices and services that may inadvertently re-traumatize. This approach recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual’s life. Providers focus on safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural sensitivity to create a therapeutic environment conducive to healing from trauma.
