Services
Couples Counseling
Our couples counseling addresses destructive patterns and communication breakdowns through evidence-based methodologies. Specialized training in Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy helps couples rebuild trust and connection. Sessions focus on resolving chronic conflicts, improving intimacy, and developing healthier relational dynamics for both traditional and non-traditional relationships.
Sex Therapy
Specialized sex therapy addresses sexual dysfunction, identity exploration, and intimacy issues through AASECT-certified practices. Our clinicians help clients navigate challenges including painful penetration, desire discrepancies, and kink/BDSM exploration while maintaining strict ethical boundaries and non-judgmental support for diverse sexual orientations and identities.
Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines sublingual ketamine administration with guided therapeutic sessions to treat treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma. Our trained clinicians facilitate psycholytic and psychedelic experiences to promote neuroplasticity and profound personal insights through structured preparation and integration sessions.

Marriage counseling services focus on strengthening committed relationships through communication skill development and conflict resolution strategies. Our therapists address issues like infidelity, financial disagreements, and intimacy challenges while helping couples establish healthy relationship foundations before and during marriage.
