Individual Therapy
Ready to stop feeling like you're just going through the motions? When you’re navigating life’s toughest moments, it can easily feel like you're carrying the weight of the world entirely on your own. Together with your therapist, you’ll work to unpack the mental noise, break free from exhausting cycles, rebuild your self-esteem, and heal the relationship struggles or life transitions holding you back.
Our practice focuses on modern evidence based treatment approaches to therapy. By grounding our work in researched methods, we collaborate with you on your treatment to dig deeper than just talking about your symtoms. We aim to get to the root causes of your experiences, helping you to feel both heard and healed.
What does evidence-based treatment mean?
An evidence-based treatment is a type of therapy that has been carefully studied and researched. These types of therapy go through clinical trials and are scientifically proven to help people feel better by significantly reducing their symptoms. They are grounded in knowledge and data while still being tailored to your individual needs. This means that you can safely explore your emotions while also receiving tools, skills and guidance to meaningfully feel better.
Examples of evidence based treatments we offer include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This type of therapy connects thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to change negative patterns. It can help you to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This is often the most commonly referenced and well-known type of evidence-based treatment that has informed many other types of behavior therapy including DBT and ACT.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is ideal if you frequently feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, chronic stress, or interpersonal conflict. The word "dialectical" means combining two seemingly opposite ideas. DBT focuses specifically on balancing the acceptance of your current life and feelings with the change needed to reduce suffering and unhelpful behaviors. DBT equips you with concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and healthy boundary-setting. True DBT is done through offering skills coaching alongside group and individual therapy. While our practice does not offer this wraparound model, our DBT trained providers can help you to integrate the foundational skills into your life while also helping you examine your thoughts, feelings and behaviors through this lens.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): While traditional CBT methods focus on trying to stop negative thoughts, ACT aims to change your relationship to your thoughts. The main goal of this therapy is to help you increase your brain's flexibility by focusing on allowing unwanted thoughts and emotions to exist without trying to push them away or fix them, learning to step back from negative thoughts so they don't control you, and helping you to connect with your values.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP specialized type of therapy that helps people gradually confront their fears and resist doing compulsive rituals. It is considered the gold-standard therapeutic treatment for all obsessive-compulsive disorder subtypes. While it's most often used for OCD treatment, it is also proven to help people with specific phobias, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, health anxiety and body-focused repetitive behaviors. ERP typically lasts for 12-20 sessions. Treatment with your therapist will include exploring your triggers, obsessions and compulsions followed by building a fear hierarchy that will be used to build step-by-step exposures to help you get back in control of your intrusive thoughts, rituals and anxieties.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): CPT is a structured trauma treatment that takes place over 12 sessions. CPT helps you explore the ways in which your trauma may have changed how you view yourself, others, and the world (such as feeling unsafe or blaming yourself). This is done through identifying "stuck points" or unhelpful/inaccurate thoughts that keep you stuck in your PTSD symptoms. You'll work with your therapist to explore and challenge these beliefs and build a more balanced perspective that is not ruled by your trauma.
Written Exposure Therapy (WET): WET is a brief trauma treatment, completed in just 6 sessions (1 screening session and 5 writing sessions). Instead of speaking extensively about your trauma, you will be asked write detailed narratives about the trauma during sessions. The writing process helps your body learn that trauma memories and physical responses (like a racing heart) are not dangerous and that distress is temporary. WET is proven to be just as effective as other PTSD treatments but unlike other methods, there is no homework and it is completed in just 6 weeks.
Couples and Family Therapy
Relationships are at the heart of a fulfilling life, yet even the strongest bonds can face periods of stress, miscommunication, or distance. Whether you are seeking to strengthen your relationship with a partner, navigate complex family dynamics, or find clarity in your role as a parent, professional therapy offers a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive space to heal and grow together.
Couples Therapy: Partners seeking to explore their relationship, improve communication, and address ongoing conflict can find a supportive, neutral environment in couples therapy. Couples who are struggling with frequent conflict, healing from a breach of trust, adapting to major life transitions, or simply aiming to feel more emotionally connected can benefit from a safe and non-judgemental space to improve your connection and learn tools to strengthen your relationship.
Couples therapy is not just for relationships in crisis. This space can help to maintain positive dynamics, deepen intimacy, or prepare for major commitments such as engagement, marriage, or parenthood. Your therapist serves as a compassionate guide to ensure your voices isarerespected and heard. Our practice incorporates evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and relational frameworksto help you resolve conflict and rebuild lasting intimacy.
Family Therapy: Changes within a family system, even changes that seem to only affect one person can significantly impact the entire home. Family therapy helps you and your loved ones to foster deep understanding of your feelings and needs in a space where you can safely communicate to restore balance in your lives.
Whether your family is adapting after becoming blended household, or a household of adolescents and teens, navigating life shifts, or addressing long-standing friction, our therapists can help your family resolve pain points and establish deeper connections. We focus on communication skills, boundary setting and collaborative problem solving to help you build trust, balance and closeness.
Parent Coaching: Parent coaching delivers practical strategies tailored to your family's values and needs, your child's developmental stage, and your capacity. Online parenting advice is great but it only goes so far when you're trying to handle challenging behaviors, foster a secure, loving bond with your child while also managing your own stress and running a household.
Parent coaching can support you to manage emotional outbursts, behavioral hurdles, and daily schedule disruptions, implement positive discipline techniques grounded in mutual respect, present a unified parenting front, guide children through significant transitions such as moving, family changes or loss, and reclaim confidence, patience, and peace in your role as a parent.
Short-Term Trauma Treatment
Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is an evidence-based trauma treatment backed by extensive research and recommended as a top-line trauma treatment by major health organizations including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the American Psychological Association (APA). Clinical studies show WET is just as effective as traditional trauma therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Prolonged Exposure (PE) but can be completed in significantly less time (6 sessions compared to 12-24+ in PE or EMDR).
Unlike traditional, open-ended therapy, WET is a brief, 6-week intervention designed to help you safely process a specific traumatic event and regain control of your life. Over the course of five focused writing sessions, your therapist will guide you through writing about the traumatic experience. This structured approach allows your brain to process difficult memories while dramatically reducing distressing symptoms like flashbacks and anxiety without requiring you to talk through every painful detail at length.
Because WET is a targeted, short-term treatment, it fits seamlessly into your life without needing to commit to months of in-depth trauma work. You can complete it as a standalone program or run it alongside your existing routine without stepping away from your regular therapist. We have several trained therapists ready to guide you through this process, and we proudly accept insurance for these sessions.
