Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): for anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, insomnia, substance use disorders, and more.

​

Often time people say 'I've tried CBT and it didn't work.' It's something we hear often. In many cases that doesn't mean that CBT isn't effective, it means the treatment you received wasn't skillfully tailored to your needs. Effective CBT is more than worksheets or simply "thinking positive." It is an active, collaborative, and clear approach that helps identify the patterns driving distress and teaches practical skills to create lasting change. Our approach is goal-oriented, personalized, and designed to help you make meaningful progress as efficiently as possible.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills (DBT): for trauma, mood, and personality disorders

​

DBT helps people build mindfulness, regulate intense emotions, tolerate distress, and improve relationships. DBT has become one of the most effective treatments for emotional dysregulation, impulsive or destructive behaviors (including self-harming and suicidality behaviors). DBT is also considered one of the first line treatments for trauma.

​

DBT allows you greater choice and control over your emotions, behaviors, and relationship choices. For the appropriate client, our clinicians can integrate evidence-based DBT skills into individual therapy using an active, highly directive approach. While we do not offer comprehensive DBT programs that include phone coaching or consultation teams, we do provide structured, individualized DBT skills training tailored to your needs.

Motivational Interviewing (MI): for changing unhelpful behaviors (smoking, substance use, sugar addiction, overeating, not exercising, etc.)

​

Have you ever told yourself, "Just quit smoking." "Stop procrastinating." "Just try harder." Yet somehow, nothing changes?

​

That's because lasting change doesn't happen through willpower alone. It happens when your actions become aligned with your own values and motivations. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based approach that helps resolve ambivalence and strengthen your own motivation for change. Whether you're trying to reduce substance use, improve your health, manage a mental health condition, or make another meaningful life change, we'll help you clarify what matters most, explore what's getting in the way, and develop a plan that motivates YOU (not anyone else!).
