Services
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions provide personalized support for adults, adolescents, and children facing mental health challenges. Using evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic approaches, we help clients build resilience, manage anxiety or depression, and develop healthier coping strategies. Each session focuses on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for self-exploration and growth.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling addresses communication issues, conflict resolution, and emotional connection through modalities like Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method. We support all relationship types, including LGBTQ+ and non-monogamous partnerships, helping partners rebuild trust, set boundaries, and strengthen their bond through skill-building exercises and guided dialogue.
DBT Skills Group
This structured group teaches mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for managing intense emotions. Led by DBT-trained therapists, the program combines group learning with individual therapy to reduce self-destructive behaviors and improve emotional stability for clients with mood disorders or trauma histories.
Telehealth Sessions
Secure virtual therapy sessions offer flexible access to counseling from anywhere in California. This service maintains the same therapeutic rigor as in-person visits, using encrypted platforms to ensure privacy while addressing issues like anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges through video conferencing.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Integrating art, music, movement, and writing into therapy sessions helps clients explore emotions nonverbally. This approach accesses unconscious material, facilitates trauma processing, and enhances self-expression, particularly beneficial for clients who find traditional talk therapy challenging or want to deepen their therapeutic experience through creative exploration.
