Anxiety Counseling
Our anxiety specialists help clients manage overwhelming worry through evidence-based techniques like CBT and mindfulness. We address generalized anxiety, panic disorders, and situational anxiety in teens and adults. Sessions focus on identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and restoring daily functioning. With both in-person and telehealth options, our therapists provide personalized care tailored to individual needs and severity levels.
Child Counseling
We offer age-appropriate counseling for children facing behavioral challenges, anxiety, or adjustment issues. Our play therapy approach helps young clients express emotions safely while building coping skills. Therapists work collaboratively with parents to create supportive home environments. Services address school refusal, separation anxiety, trauma, and developmental challenges through engaging, child-friendly methodologies.
Eating Disorder Treatment
Specialized care for anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorders combines nutritional guidance with psychological support. Our certified specialists use trauma-informed approaches to address underlying emotional factors. Family therapy components help rebuild healthy relationships around food. Treatment plans integrate medical monitoring and collaborate with dietitians for comprehensive recovery support.
Life Transition Coaching
Navigating major life changes becomes manageable with structured coaching support. We help clients process emotions related to career shifts, parenthood, or relocation while developing adaptive strategies. Sessions focus on goal-setting, stress reduction, and building resilience. Our approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with practical problem-solving to facilitate smooth transitions.
BIPOC Services
Culturally competent therapists address race-based trauma and identity exploration for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Services examine systemic impacts on mental health while validating lived experiences. We provide safe spaces for processing discrimination and developing coping mechanisms tailored to cultural contexts through affirming, anti-racist therapeutic practices.
