Individual Therapy

At Aspen Psychological Services, we provide individual psychotherapy for adults, focusing on areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders including PTSD, personality disorders, traumatic brain injury, and substance-related disorders. Our experienced team works closely with clients to create personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals.

Psychological Evaluations

We offer psychological evaluations for children to help clarify diagnoses, including ADHD, learning disorders, developmental disorders, and spectrum disorders, such as autism. These evaluations are crucial in identifying the appropriate treatment path for each child, ensuring they receive the support they need to thrive.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that has been proven effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions, dissociative disorders, grief, eating disorders, addictions, and more.
