Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT equips you with tools to navigate these consequences, helping you manage symptoms in the moment and reduce their long-term impact. The therapy’s core modules—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—provide a framework for coping:
Grief and Loss Counseling
Most people assume that grieving for the death of a loved one is the only type of grieving; however, if you know someone that has lost their spouse due to divorce, lost someone still alive, or even lost sentimental items in their life, that is also defined as grief.
Anxiety Treatment
The best treatment for anxiety is non-invasive, supportive, and will relieve your symptoms immediately. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, and worry. It usually is generalized and viewed as an overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as minimal and able to be controlled.
Personal Injury Mental Health Therapy
An injury from a vehicle collision, job-related accident, or other distressing event can cause lasting emotional pain that endures well after physical wounds heal. The mental toll, such as fear, sadness, or post-traumatic stress, can upend your everyday life, connections with others, and sense of who you are.
Infidelity and Cheating Counseling
Infidelity and cheating can shatter trust, disrupt emotional stability, and leave deep wounds in relationships. Whether you’re grappling with the discovery of an affair, navigating the aftermath, or seeking to rebuild trust, our compassionate therapists are here to guide you through the healing process.
Depression Help
If you are suffering from clinical depression, there are signs and symptoms to watch out for. Seek out therapy for depression and treatment of depression if you can identify with more than five of the following criteria.
Brainspotting
A focused psychological treatment that uses specific eye positions to access and process unresolved trauma stored in the brain. It helps clients release emotional pain by connecting visual fields to deep emotional and physical responses.
Self Confidence and Self Esteem
Low self-confidence can lead people toward depression, not reaching their potential, or even tolerate abusive situations and relationships. My job entails helping you empower yourself. Through this process, you will gain a sense of your own value and worth as a person.
Teen and Adolescent Therapy
The teenage years represent a critical window of opportunity where professional intervention can literally change the trajectory of your adolescent’s life. While mood swings and defiance are normal parts of development, persistent changes in behavior, academics, or social functioning signal the need for expert support that goes beyond what family and friends can provide.
ADHD and ADD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) can shape how you navigate daily life, relationships, and personal goals, but they don’t have to define your potential.
