Clinical Services
In-office, telepsychology, + hybrid options available!
Intake/Diagnostic Assessment
We always begin with an intake/diagnostic assessment. This will typically be your first 1-3 sessions and includes a clinical interview to gather information about your current concerns and history to help us obtain diagnostic clarity. If services are for a child, your provider may interview caregiver(s) and child separately, as well as all together. They may also do an observation of your child.Your provider will review their diagnostic impression and treatment plan with you following your first couple of sessions.
Psychotherapy
-

Individual
One-on-one support starts with developing a safe and trusting relationship with your therapist. In individual therapy, you (or your child) will be able to learn how to identify, express, and process difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Therapy will also focus on changing behavior, obtaining clarity and insight, and improving communication and relationships. Individual therapy is an excellent and evidence-based treatment to promote healing and change.
-

Parent Guidance
Parenting is often described as the most rewarding “job” one can have. It can also be tough! Feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, burnt-out, lonely, quick to anger, or just overall like you don’t know what you’re doing?….You are not alone. By connecting with a provider, you can receive support to gain knowledge and insight into parenting challenges by working on communication, behavior management, emotional regulation, self-compassion, and improving overall parent-child dynamics. It can also be helpful to support caregivers become better aligned in their parenting approach.
-

Couples
+ triads, quads, or any other constellations
While we may experience great love and meaning in our romantic relations, combining lives, personalities, values, and differences can introduce challenges. Couples (or a variation there of…) therapy can help you learn to listen, validate, communicate, improve connection, return to enjoyable sex + intimacy, problem-solve, compromise, as well as express + receive love most effectively.
-

Family
Perhaps you’re seeking parenting support, you are a kiddo or teen looking to communicate with a caregiver, or you’re a couple/family facing a major change/adjustment. Family therapy can provide a space to process, communicate, and problem-solve around a variety of challenges. Sometimes sessions will include the whole family system, other times maybe just the grown-ups, just the kiddo or teen, and every variation. Sometimes we even find that adults processing with their siblings, parents, etc. well into adulthood can be beneficial.

Miscarriage + Early Pregnancy Loss Support Group (in partnership with Star Legacy Foundation)
