Services
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions provide personalized mental health treatment for adults facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and internal family systems, our licensed therapists help clients develop coping strategies and emotional resilience. Each session focuses on creating a safe space for self-exploration and growth through collaborative goal setting and tailored interventions.
Play Therapy
Specially designed for children aged 3-12, our play therapy services use therapeutic play to address emotional and behavioral challenges. Registered play therapists guide children through age-appropriate activities that build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. This approach helps young clients process difficult experiences and develop healthier coping mechanisms in a developmentally appropriate format.
Couples Counseling
Our couples counseling program addresses communication breakdowns, trust issues, and relationship dissatisfaction through evidence-based interventions. Therapists facilitate constructive dialogue using techniques from emotionally focused therapy and Gottman method principles. Sessions focus on rebuilding connection, resolving conflicts constructively, and developing shared relationship goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
Trauma Informed Counseling
Specialized trauma treatment incorporates Brainspotting, cognitive processing therapy, and somatic approaches to address PTSD symptoms. Our trauma-informed therapists help clients process distressing memories and develop grounding techniques to manage triggers. Treatment follows a phased approach focusing first on stabilization before processing traumatic experiences in a safe, controlled manner.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting therapy accesses trauma stored in the central nervous system through eye position tracking and bilateral sound. This neurobiological approach helps process unresolved emotional and physical trauma that talk therapy alone cannot address. Sessions combine focused attention on bodily sensations with therapist support to facilitate natural healing processes and reduce trauma symptoms.
