Specialties
Autism Spectrum Disorder
We help children with Autism by helping them develop essential communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills. Through approaches like behavioral interventions, and social skills training, therapy supports children in expressing themselves more effectively, reducing challenging behaviors, improving social interactions, and gaining independence in everyday tasks. It also helps manage anxiety and emotional regulation, especially in children with high-functioning autism. Additionally, therapy provides crucial guidance for families, equipping them with tools to support their child’s growth and improve life at home.
Anxiety
Therapy addresses both the thought patterns and behaviors that fuel it, while also teaching practical coping strategies. The most common and effective approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and challenge negative thinking (like catastrophizing or constant worry) and replace it with more balanced, realistic thoughts. We also teach skills like relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, mindfulness, and exposure therapy, which gradually reduces fear by facing anxiety triggers in a safe, controlled way. Over time, therapy helps reduce the intensity and frequency of anxious feelings, builds confidence in handling stress, and improves overall emotional resilience. For many, it’s a long-term solution that promotes healthier thinking and lasting relief.
Depression
We provide a safe space to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that contribute to the condition, and by teaching strategies to manage and change them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), one of the most common approaches, helps individuals identify negative thought patterns—like feelings of hopelessness or self-criticism—and replace them with more balanced, positive ways of thinking. Therapy also encourages developing healthier habits, improving problem-solving skills, and building coping mechanisms to handle stress and setbacks. Beyond just addressing symptoms, therapy supports emotional expression, reduces isolation, and helps people regain motivation and a sense of control over their lives, which can lead to lasting improvements in mood and overall well-being.
Grief
We provide a supportive, compassionate space where individuals can safely express their feelings of loss, sadness, anger, or confusion without judgment. We will guide them through the complex emotional process, helping them understand and accept their grief while finding ways to cope and adapt to life without their loved one. Therapists often use techniques like narrative therapy (telling the story of the loss), cognitive behavioral therapy (addressing painful thoughts), and meaning-making (finding personal meaning or growth through grief). Therapy can also help prevent complicated grief by teaching healthy coping strategies, supporting adjustment to new realities, and reconnecting individuals with hope and purpose over time.
Substance Abuse
Therapy plays a crucial role in substance abuse recovery by helping individuals understand the underlying causes of their addiction, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a supportive framework for lasting change. Different types of therapy—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and contingency management—work to identify triggers, challenge harmful thought patterns, and reinforce positive behaviors. Therapy also addresses co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety or depression, which often accompany addiction. Importantly, it helps people rebuild relationships, improve communication skills, and strengthen motivation to stay sober. By providing ongoing emotional support and practical tools, therapy significantly increases the chances of sustained recovery and a healthier, more balanced life.
Trauma
Through Therapy we will provide a safe, supportive space where individuals can process and make sense of their traumatic experiences without feeling overwhelmed or judged. It helps reduce symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional numbness by gradually working through painful memories using evidence-based approaches. Therapy teaches coping skills to manage distress, regulate emotions, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. Over time, it helps people integrate their trauma into their life story in a way that reduces its power and allows healing, growth, and restoration of hope.
