Services
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services use evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat mood and anxiety disorders. Sessions help patients develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and address life challenges through personalized treatment plans. Our therapists work with adolescents, adults, and seniors to promote mental wellness and behavioral change.
Weight Loss Programs
We offer specialized behavioral programs for weight management and bariatric surgery preparation. Our evidence-based approach combines dietary guidance with psychological support to address emotional eating and develop sustainable lifestyle changes. Patients receive pre-surgical evaluations and post-operative counseling to ensure long-term success through our 8-week cognitive behavioral group program.
Pain Management
Our pain management specialists use mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to address psychosocial factors affecting chronic pain conditions. Treatment includes coping techniques, stress reduction training, and communication strategies tailored for patients with migraines, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain disorders. We also provide evaluations for spinal cord stimulator placements.
Memory Screening
We conduct neuropsychological evaluations to detect early signs of dementia and cognitive decline. Our assessments help differentiate normal age-related changes from pathological conditions, enabling timely intervention and future planning. The screening process includes comprehensive testing of memory, reasoning, and executive functioning abilities in older adults.
Pre-IVF Evaluations
Our pre-treatment psychological evaluations meet requirements for IVF and donor insemination procedures. The assessment process examines emotional readiness, coping mechanisms, and support systems to ensure patients are prepared for fertility treatments. We work closely with reproductive medicine specialists to provide comprehensive mental health support during the fertility journey.
