Our Specialties

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)

A structured, research-based approach that helps couples strengthen their emotional bond and improve communication. Together, we identify negative patterns, deepen understanding, and create a more secure, connected relationship—so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

CBT-I is an evidence-based approach designed to help people who struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting restful sleep. It addresses the thoughts, habits, and patterns that can interfere with healthy sleep and helps develop practical strategies for more consistent, restorative rest.

People who have experienced a single trauma event or decades of trauma can greatly benefit from the impressive efficacy and expediency of EMDR. EMDR is an evidence-based technique that has shown to be a highly effective treatment for people diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other issues that result from traumatic experiences, such as:

  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Panic attacks
  • Fears and Phobias
  • Relationship challenges (such as break-ups, mistrust, feelings of abandonment or rejection, social anxiety)
  • Low self-esteem
  • Performance Anxiety/Enhancement
  • Grief and bereavement
  • Obsessions and Compulsions

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals better understand and manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and respond to difficult situations in healthier ways. Through practical skills, clients learn strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and more effective communication. This is an effective approach to help children, teens, and adults self-regulate. It’s also frequently used for the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder.

Grief and Bereavement Support Therapy

Grief can affect every part of life—emotionally, physically, relationally, and even spiritually. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or another significant loss or life transition, the grieving process can bring emotions and changes that are difficult to understand and manage.

Grief looks different for everyone, and there is no single timeline for healing. Our clinicians provide a compassionate and supportive space to help you process difficult emotions, understand the impact of your loss, and develop healthy ways to cope. Over time, grief counseling can help you adjust to what has changed, reconnect with what matters to you, and find a meaningful path forward while honoring what has been lost.
