Therapy

Therapy is not a “one size fits all” process. The most appropriate type of talk therapy is determined by your symptoms, timeline, and goals for treatment. We are trained in multiple therapy modalities to help you decide what works best for you. Research most often identifies that medication management along with talk-therapy yield the best results for restoring healthy mental functioning.

Psychodynamic

Explore your past and how it has impacted your current outlook, relationships, and approaches to stressors. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy emphasizes understanding patterns in your life that may have been both helpful and detrimental to improve choices moving forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

The way we think and talk to ourselves affects the way we feel. If you think you’re awful, you will feel awful. CBT addresses how our thoughts affect our emotions and decisions. In CBT, you learn skills and develop strategies on how to shift these thoughts to be less catastrophic and more reality-based, which can improve your emotions and the choices you make.

Pediatric

Treating children and teens require extra skills because of their developing mind and bodies that react differently to treatments common to adults. Because early intervention can lead to a brighter future, we take additional time to work with your child and family to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. We take a holistic and conservative approach, using medications only when necessary, and leaning heavily on behavioral changes and parental support.
