Mental Health Services

Dedicated to excellence in psychological practice, we use knowledge of empirical literature and proven psychological techniques in the development a treatment plan to offer a highly personalized, evidence-based approach tailored to each individual or family.                                   

Individual Sessions

Various approaches are utilized during individual sessions to address client concerns.
  • We have expertise in treating anxiety and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is an effective treatment that assists clients in identifying the link between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and teaches them healthier thinking strategies, relaxation techniques, and coping skills.
  • Several of our therapists have specific training and certification to assist those who have been through traumatic experiences, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
  • We are also proficient in Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP) approaches for OCD treatment, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional dysregulation, self-harm, and suicidal thinking, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
