> Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) empowers you to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and make meaningful life changes. Backed by decades of research, CBT is effective for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. You’ll learn science-based techniques to reframe negative thinking, build healthy habits, and move toward your goals with clarity and purpose.

> Depression Therapy

Depression can feel like being stuck in a fog, making even small tasks overwhelming. In therapy, we create a compassionate space to help you understand the root causes, develop healthier patterns, and rediscover moments of joy. Evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness guide you toward healing and renewed energy.

> Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, affecting your mind, body, and relationships. Our approach goes beyond managing symptoms — we help you identify the root causes of your worry and understand how anxiety impacts your daily life. With evidence-based techniques like CBT and relaxation strategies, therapy equips you with tools to navigate stress and regain a sense of calm and confidence.

> ADHD

Living with ADHD can feel like juggling a hundred things at once — and dropping them all. Therapy can help you or your loved one develop strategies to manage symptoms, improve focus, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, our sessions provide practical tools and tailored solutions to harness strengths and create lasting balance.

> Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma leaves a lasting imprint, but healing is possible. Our trauma-focused therapy provides a safe space to process your experiences, manage triggers, and regain a sense of control. With approaches like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and mindfulness, we are here to help you on your journey of empowerment — one that helps you reclaim your life and move forward with strength.

> Grief Therapy

Grief comes in many forms — whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a life transition, or an unmet dream. Therapy helps you navigate the waves of sadness and healing, offering support to find meaning and move forward while honoring your loss.

> Couples Counseling

Strong relationships are built on trust, emotional security, and understanding. Using insights from attachment theory, we help you understand how your emotional needs and patterns shape your interactions. Therapy can help you address specific conflicts or strengthen your bond by improving communication and trust while building a greater foundation for lasting intimacy and resilience.

> Youth & Family Therapy

Families are dynamic systems, and when one member is struggling, it affects everyone. Youth and family therapy offers a collaborative space to address issues, strengthen connections, and address challenges such as behavioral issues, trauma, or life transitions. Our tailored approach incorporates play, dialogue, and proven techniques to support growth in children and teens while empowering the whole family.

> LGBTQIA Allies

Your journey deserves respect, support, and understanding. Our clinicians provide a safe space to navigate coming out, relationship, family dynamics and more. We celebrate your authentic self and are here to guide you with empathy and care.

> Addiction Counseling

Addiction can feel like an unbreakable cycle, but recovery is within reach. Therapy helps you uncover the roots of substance use, address emotional challenges, and build healthier coping skills. Using evidence-based approaches, we provide tools to navigate recovery and rediscover freedom and fulfillment.

> Psychological Assessments

  • ADHD
  • Autism

Healing yourself — or your loved one — starts with clarity. Our comprehensive evaluations use a customized battery of psychological measures which can diagnose ADHD or Autism while considering other contributing factors. This holistic approach provides a deeper understanding of the individual, ensuring a stronger evaluation of the person as a whole. With tailored recommendations, we aim to support growth and success at home, school, or work, empowering you with actionable insights for a path forward.
