We believe strongly in taking the time to know and understand our clients so we can collaboratively find a treatment approach that fits and is as effective as possible. Our treatments utilize research-supported intervention techniques from various treatment approaches including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, emotion-focused, humanistic, mindfulness, and other traditions.

Assessment

We offer a variety of assessment services. For those wishing to enter treatment, we will assess problem areas and symptoms to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis (if applicable) to guide treatment. We also offer stand-alone assessments of mental health, functional capacity, to explore a diagnosis suggested by a third party, or to meet a legal obligation. Some examples include court-ordered mental health assessments, assessments as part of the gender transition process, and diagnostic evaluation for depression, ADHD, etc. As with our treatment approach described above, we structure the assessment process in accordance with the particular needs of the client and of the situation, tailoring the assessment to the individual.

Couple Psychotherapy

We are trained and experienced in providing treatment to couples who are either experiencing relationship difficulties or simply desire to strengthen their relationship skills. As couples therapists just as individual therapists, our approaches are largely integrative, meaning we believe strongly in taking the time to know and understand our clients so we can collaboratively find a treatment approach that fits and is as effective as possible. Our treatments utilize research-supported intervention techniques drawing from the Gottman method, Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy, Systems theory, and more.
