Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses faulty thinking, emotional distress, and maladaptive behaviors in children and adolescents. Through assessment, play, and behavioral techniques, we target anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues. Our approach integrates family and school collaboration to ensure comprehensive treatment for lasting improvement in emotional and cognitive functioning.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling resolves relationship strain caused by resentment, infidelity, communication issues, and trust deficits. Using methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman techniques, we enhance intimacy, address conflict roots, and improve communication. This service supports families navigating divorce or seeking to strengthen their partnership through guided, structured sessions.
Child and Adolescent Therapy
Child and adolescent therapy employs play, talk, and behavioral strategies to address anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. By observing interactions and tailoring sessions to each child's needs, we foster emotional growth and resolve behavioral issues. Parental involvement ensures a holistic approach to improving family dynamics and the child's social and academic performance.
Depression Treatment
Depression treatment combines psychoanalytic and cognitive-behavioral approaches to alleviate symptoms like low mood, lack of motivation, and isolation. Through personalized therapy, we explore underlying causes, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop coping strategies. Our goal is to restore emotional balance and improve daily functioning for long-term recovery.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety treatment focuses on reducing excessive worry, panic, and physical symptoms through CBT and relaxation techniques. We identify triggers, reframe irrational thoughts, and teach coping mechanisms like mindfulness. Tailored interventions help clients regain control over their lives, improving overall well-being and resilience to stressors.

Questions
How can therapy help me?
Therapy provides support, coping strategies, and problem-solving skills for issues like depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, and stress management. It helps you understand yourself better, improve relationships, and develop healthier behavior patterns.
Do I really need therapy?
Seeking therapy shows self-awareness and responsibility. It offers long-lasting tools to manage triggers, redirect harmful patterns, and overcome challenges, even if you've handled past difficulties independently.
What is therapy like?
Therapy varies by individual but typically involves discussing current events, personal history, and progress. Sessions are usually weekly, with active participation required to apply insights to your life through exercises like journaling.
What about medication vs. psychotherapy?
Therapy addresses root causes of distress, while medication treats symptoms. An integrative approach often works best. We collaborate with medical professionals to determine the optimal treatment plan, which may include both.
Do you take insurance?
Check with your insurer for mental health coverage details. We are out-of-network providers; contact your insurance company to confirm benefits, session coverage, and whether pre-authorization is required.
Is therapy confidential?
Confidentiality is crucial. Information shared in sessions remains private unless there's suspected abuse, neglect, or risk of harm. Written consent is required to share information with other healthcare providers.
