Individual Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy provides the opportunity to work directly with a therapist on goals you identify. This process begins with a formal assessment of your symptoms and functioning, and continues to work towards identified goals. This service can be covered by insurance benefits or paid for out-of-pocket.

Couples Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy for couples provides the opportunity for you to engage in formal psychotherapy while having the additional benefit of including your significant other. To begin couples therapy, a formal assessment is completed to assess your symptoms and functioning, then a treatment plan will be formulated to determine goals of working together on your symptoms as well as your relationship. This service can be covered by insurance benefits or paid for out-of-pocket.
