Services
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services address anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges through personalized sessions. We use evidence-based approaches tailored to individual needs, fostering emotional growth and resilience. Clients of all ages receive compassionate care in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Medication Management
Provided by a certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 30+ years of experience, this service includes medication review and management for ages 16+. It addresses conditions like ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD while incorporating limited therapeutic interventions such as CBT.
Trauma-Focused CBT
This specialized therapy addresses trauma-related conditions using cognitive-behavioral techniques adapted for trauma recovery. Designed for children and adults, it helps process traumatic experiences while building coping skills in a structured, supportive setting.
Play Therapy
Play therapy helps children express emotions and resolve psychological issues through guided play activities. Specially trained therapists use this approach to address behavioral problems, trauma, and emotional difficulties in a developmentally appropriate manner.
EMDR
EMDR therapy processes traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation techniques. This evidence-based approach helps reduce distress from past experiences, particularly effective for PTSD and other trauma-related conditions across all age groups.
