Services
Child Therapy
Our child therapy program addresses behavioral, emotional, and social challenges in children aged five and older. Using play therapy, sand tray, and art-based techniques, we help children process trauma, manage anxiety, and develop communication skills. Our therapists create a non-judgmental space to address issues like bullying, self-confidence, and academic stress while involving families in the healing process.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy treats trauma and PTSD by reprocessing distressing memories using bilateral stimulation. Our trained therapists use hand tappers or auditory tones to help clients reduce symptoms like panic attacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. This evidence-based approach enables clients to integrate traumatic experiences healthily, restoring emotional stability and reducing chronic pain linked to psychological stress.
DBT Skills
DBT skills training teaches emotion management, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients aged 12+. Individual sessions focus on replacing negative thought patterns with constructive behaviors, addressing self-harm, depression, and impulsivity. We combine mindfulness practices with practical exercises to help clients build resilience and maintain stable relationships through challenging situations.
Couples Counseling
Our couples counseling addresses communication breakdowns, infidelity recovery, and conflict resolution. Therapists use a direct, solution-focused approach to improve emotional connection and rebuild trust. Sessions incorporate behavioral strategies to address depression's impact on relationships and prepare couples for major life transitions through pre-marital counseling and grief support.
Autism Evaluation
Adult autism evaluations identify neurodevelopmental patterns affecting social communication and sensory processing. Our comprehensive assessments include clinical interviews and standardized tools to confirm diagnoses and develop personalized coping strategies. We emphasize neurodiversity as a natural variation, helping clients leverage their unique strengths in professional, social, and personal contexts.
