Services
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. Our DBT programs include individual therapy and group skills training focused on mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This evidence-based approach helps clients manage intense emotions and reduce self-destructive behaviors while building a life worth living.
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions combine evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's needs. Therapists utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic techniques, and mindfulness practices to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and personality disorders. Sessions focus on developing personalized coping strategies and improving emotional regulation through a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Creative Arts Therapy
Creative arts therapy integrates psychotherapeutic techniques with artistic expression. Our board-certified art therapists use drawing, painting, and other creative modalities to help clients explore emotions nonverbally. This approach benefits individuals struggling with trauma, self-esteem issues, and communication challenges across various mental health conditions.
DBT Skills Training
DBT skills training groups teach practical techniques for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Participants learn mindfulness practices, distress tolerance strategies, and communication skills in a supportive environment. Programs are available for teens, adults, and parents to address specific developmental needs and life challenges.
Trauma Treatment
Our trauma treatment programs address PTSD and complex trauma using evidence-based approaches. Therapists combine cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR training, and somatic interventions to process traumatic memories. Treatment focuses on building safety, developing coping skills, and restoring emotional stability for individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms.
