Services
Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy creates a safe space for exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Our licensed therapists help clients develop coping mechanisms and achieve personal growth through tailored treatment plans. This evidence-based approach addresses mental health concerns while fostering self-acceptance and lasting positive change. Sessions focus on enhancing self-awareness and improving life satisfaction through structured therapeutic interventions.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to treat depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. Weekly individual sessions and skills training groups help clients manage emotions, improve relationships, and cope with distress. Our therapists provide phone coaching to reinforce skills application between sessions, ensuring practical implementation of learned techniques in real-life situations.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic memories and develop adaptive coping mechanisms. This structured approach addresses trauma's emotional impact through guided bilateral stimulation. Our trained therapists facilitate sessions that enable clients to reprocess distressing experiences, reducing symptoms of PTSD and anxiety while building emotional resilience through evidence-based protocols.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy combines ketamine administration with guided therapeutic sessions to treat depression and PTSD. Our licensed specialists supervise dissociative states that facilitate deep emotional processing. This research-supported approach offers alternative treatment pathways when traditional methods prove ineffective, creating opportunities for breakthroughs in mental health recovery through carefully monitored therapeutic experiences.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy addresses relationship conflicts and strengthens partnerships through structured interventions. Our therapists help couples identify ineffective interaction patterns while developing communication strategies for positive change. Sessions focus on enhancing intimacy, resolving conflicts, and building stronger connections. The LGBTQIA2S+ affirming approach ensures inclusive support for diverse relationship dynamics and partnership challenges.
