Services
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. This structured therapy helps individuals process traumatic memories and change unhelpful thought patterns. Research shows CPT significantly reduces PTSD symptoms by addressing emotional distress and improving daily functioning through cognitive restructuring techniques.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy treats PTSD and anxiety disorders by gradually confronting traumatic memories and avoided situations. Backed by clinical trials, this approach reduces avoidance behaviors and emotional distress through controlled exposure exercises, helping clients regain control over trauma-related triggers and improve quality of life.
Psychoeducational Evaluations
These evaluations identify learning disabilities in reading, writing, and math using standardized cognitive and academic testing. By diagnosing conditions like dyslexia and dyscalculia, we help develop targeted interventions for educational success while explaining learning challenges to students and families.
ABA Parent Coaching
Our ABA-based parent coaching teaches behavior management strategies using reinforcement and visual aids. Parents learn to implement evidence-based interventions at home, improving child behavior through structured skill development and consistent application of applied behavior analysis principles.
Executive Functioning Coaching
Certified educators and psychologists provide personalized coaching to improve time management, organization, and planning skills. Through initial assessments and targeted interventions, we help individuals strengthen executive functioning abilities essential for academic and professional success across all life stages.
