Services
Individual Psychotherapy
Our individual psychotherapy services provide personalized treatment for clients aged 2+. Experienced therapists use evidence-based approaches like CBT and psychodynamic therapy to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and fostering personal growth through a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Medication Management
Board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners provide comprehensive medication management. We offer safe, evidence-based prescribing for teens and adults with conditions like depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Our approach emphasizes collaborative decision-making and regular monitoring to optimize treatment outcomes and minimize side effects.
Psychological Testing
We conduct comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for ages 6+. Testing identifies learning disabilities, ADHD, and developmental disorders through standardized assessments. Our reports provide diagnostic clarity and actionable recommendations for schools, families, and treatment planning with both written documentation and verbal feedback sessions.
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Specially trained therapy animals enhance traditional psychotherapy for children and teens. This approach builds trust, reduces anxiety, and improves social skills through interactive sessions with certified therapy dogs. Animal interactions create non-judgmental environments that facilitate emotional expression and therapeutic progress.
Couples Therapy
Our couples therapy programs use evidence-based modalities like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method. We help partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional connections through structured sessions that address both immediate concerns and long-term relationship patterns.
