SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individual psychotherapy offers a supportive and confidential space for personal growth and healing. In one-on-one sessions, you will work with a trained therapist to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking to understand yourself better, our collaborative approach will help you gain insight, develop coping skills, facilitate change, heal from past trauma.
Skills Plus Program
The Skills Plus Program is both a trauma-informed and a DBT-informed supportive outpatient program for adolescents and adults who want to learn and apply DBT skills to improve day-to-day functioning, develop effective coping strategies, and build internal resources for emotional and trauma processing.
The Skills Plus Program is DBT-informed and incorporates key elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy while not encompassing all components of a comprehensive DBT program. The program includes individual therapy, skills training sessions, and coaching calls, allowing clients to learn and practice essential DBT skills in a supportive environment.
The Skills Plus Program is a good fit for individuals who:
-
are stepping down from an intensive outpatient program
-
want a more supportive outpatient therapeutic approach but want to avoid group therapy
-
want to increase internal resources and coping before processing traumatic material

Assessment or testing is a crucial and potentially transformative experience that offers valuable data, context, and insights, paving the way for social, emotional, and academic success. While the assessment process is distinct from psychotherapy, it often serves as an informed first step toward meaningful change. We are dedicated to providing best practices, doctoral-level expertise, and a compassionate, supportive environment as you embark on this journey.
