Services
DBT Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy combines individual sessions and skills groups to treat emotional dysregulation. Our program includes distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation modules. Clinicians use evidence-based techniques to help clients manage anxiety, depression, and trauma through structured skill-building and mindfulness practices.
Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy offers rapid relief for treatment-resistant depression and PTSD. Our clinicians combine low-dose ketamine administration with integrative talk therapy to facilitate neuroplasticity. This approach creates new neural pathways while addressing underlying emotional patterns through a combination of psychospiritual exploration and cognitive restructuring techniques.
EMDR Treatment
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy helps clients reprocess traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation. Our certified therapists employ this evidence-based method to treat PTSD, anxiety, and phobias by targeting distressing memories and transforming negative self-beliefs through structured protocols that enhance emotional regulation.
Group Therapy
Structured group sessions combine skills training with peer interaction to reinforce therapeutic learning. Our small-group format promotes behavioral practice and social connection while maintaining clinical rigor. Programs include DBT skills groups, trauma recovery circles, and neurodivergent-affirming cohorts that emphasize practical application of therapeutic concepts in real-world contexts.
Trauma Therapy
Specialized trauma treatment integrates multiple modalities including EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic therapies. Our clinicians address complex PTSD and developmental trauma through body-based approaches that restore nervous system regulation. Treatment focuses on building safety, processing traumatic memories, and developing resilience through a phased approach that prioritizes stabilization before trauma work.
