Modalities

Individual therapy: The goal of individual therapy is to provide a safe and supportive space where we can work collaboratively to identify specific goals and develop a personalized treatment plan. Your therapist may use various techniques and approaches to help reach these goals. They can also provide coping strategies and tools to better navigate life's challenges and improve your overall mental health and well-being. Each one of our therapists has different areas of specialty and training.

Couples therapy: We work with both partners to understand the underlying dynamics of their relationship and identify areas that may be causing conflict or disconnection. We help couples develop effective communication skills, manage conflict in healthy ways, and build a deeper sense of connection and understanding. It has been found to be effective in improving relationship satisfaction and stability in couples experiencing a variety of challenges, including communication issues, infidelity, and conflict.

Couples therapy approaches

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Sue Johnson in the 1980s. It is based on the idea that emotional experiences and expressions play a central role in shaping our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. EFT is designed to help couples understand and express their emotions in a healthy and adaptive way, and to develop a more secure and fulfilling relationship with each other. EFT involves the creation of a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, exploration of emotions and experiences, and the development of new ways of relating to our partners.

The Gottman Method is a form of psychotherapy that was developed by John and Julie Gottman in the 1970s. It is based on the idea that healthy relationships are built on a foundation of trust, communication, and mutual support, and that these foundations can be strengthened through therapy. The Gottman Method is designed to help couples identify and address the underlying issues in their relationship and develop the skills and strategies needed to improve communication, manage conflict, and build a strong and lasting bond.

Telehealth: We prefer to meet in person but we will accommodate telehealth needs in the case by case basis. Telehealth clients are responsible for securing a safe, quiet and confidential space to carry out the session. They will need to download the required application and have access to a device that supports video conferencing. Each therapist uses a different platform.
Please note, some insurance plans do not cover telehealth.

Specialties

Art therapy is a form of therapy that uses art-making as a way to explore and process emotions, increase self-awareness, and improve overall well-being. Art therapy can be a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. Most of our therapists offer art therapy interventions as one of many treatment modalities.

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a form of psychotherapy that aims to help individuals better manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It was originally developed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder, but it has since been found to be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and eating disorders. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices and emphasizes the importance of acceptance and validation.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy that was developed in the 1980s by Francine Shapiro. It is based on the idea that unprocessed memories and experiences can contribute to the development of psychological disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. EMDR is a structured, eight-phase treatment that involves the use of bilateral eye movements, sounds, or tapping to help individuals process and integrate their traumatic memories. The theory behind EMDR is that the bilateral stimulation helps the brain process and integrate the traumatic memories, leading to a reduction in the intensity of the associated emotions and beliefs.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a communication approach developed by Marshall Rosenberg in the 1960s. It is based on the idea that all human beings have the capacity for empathy and that compassionate communication is essential for resolving conflicts and building fulfilling relationships. NVC is designed to help individuals express their own needs and feelings, as well as listen to and understand the needs and feelings of others. It emphasizes the importance of using "I" statements to communicate and avoid blame or criticism, and encourages individuals to focus on the underlying needs that drive their behavior. NVC has been found to be effective in improving communication and conflict resolution skills in a variety of settings, including personal relationships, work environments, and community organizations.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a form of psychotherapy that was developed by Richard C. Schwartz in the 1980s. It is based on the idea that each individual has a "self" that is capable of leading a healthy, balanced life, and multiple "subpersonalities" or "parts" that represent different thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These parts are often in conflict with each other, and IFS aims to help individuals understand and heal these internal conflicts by recognizing and embracing the different parts of themselves. IFS emphasizes self-compassion and self-acceptance, and encourages individuals to develop a sense of self-leadership and inner peace. It has been found to be effective in treating a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
