CHILDREN AND TEENS

PLAY THERAPY

In childhood, play is the language of the heart. Play therapists utilize this therapeutic approach to help individuals, especially children, prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties, promoting their optimal growth. It is particularly effective during transition periods (after a divorce or loss) and for those managing emotions, socialization, or behavioral issues.

ART THERAPY

Art therapy is a unique journey of self-discovery and healing using creative art. With the guidance of our skilled art therapists, patients explore their emotions, understand inner conflicts that are causing them distress, and embrace resolutions through the power of painting, drawing, and sculpting. Art therapy brings warmth and transformation, especially those grappling with anxiety and mood disorders. Join us in this welcoming space where your healing begins with a brushstroke.

SANDTRAY THERAPY

Immerse in the world of Sand Tray Therapy, where the tactile sensation of sand and a
carefully chosen array of miniatures becomes the language of emotions. This powerful technique offers a safe haven for the expression of feelings, particularly beneficial for those seeking solace from trauma and anxiety. While this approach is particularly effective for children, we also extend its benefits to adults and couples who may find it challenging to communicate or feel stuck. Notably, our sand therapy room features a large sand tray filled with 125 pounds of sand, a unique offering you will find at our
practice.

ADULTS

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

Step into the realm of self-exploration with CBT, a dynamic approach that empowers the identification and reframing of negative thought patterns. Under the guidance of therapists, individuals witness immediate positive shifts, offering fresh perspectives on managing anxiety and depression.

DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY

Experience the power of acceptance and positive transformation with DBT, a form of talk therapy tailored for those navigating emotions with intensity. It encourages embracing the authentic self, making it particularly effective for individuals facing challenges with Borderline Personality Disorder, self-harm, and severe depression.

INNER CHILDWORK

Take a journey through time to heal past wounds with Inner Childwork. This compelling technique focuses on how the impact of our childhood experiences affect our thoughts and behaviors as adults. Healing takes place through nurturing and reparenting, addressing the traumas and unmet needs of one’s younger self. It is a crucial step toward unlocking profound personal
growth.

ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY®(ART)

ART is a brief, structured form of psychotherapy that helps people process distressing memories and symptoms by changing how those memories are stored in the brain. ART removes triggers by erasing negative images from view. ART uses guided eye movements and visualization techniques to reduce emotional and physical reactions to past experiences while allowing you to stay fully in control. Many clients report significant relief in just a few sessions. Trauma and many other issues can often be resolved in just one session. Clinical studies have shown ART to be effective for trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and more. It may be especially useful for those who have not experienced relief from other therapies, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy or Prolonged Exposure. ART is safe and effective for children as well.

SOUND HEALING

Realign the body, mind, and spirit through the harmonic vibrations of Sound Healing. Embracing the principle that emotions resonate at distinct frequencies, this transformative session taps into the innate power of sound to address unexpressed or blocked emotions, offering relief from trauma-related issues and anxiety disorders.

MINDFULNESS THERAPY

Awaken a deeper sense of self-awareness with Mindfulness Therapy, an empowering talk therapy technique that guides individuals to navigate the internal landscape and external surroundings with intentionality. By reducing automatic destructive responses and habits, individuals uncover a path to profound well-being, benefiting both physical and mental health.

SCHEMA THERAPY

Unearth the general themes that shape an understanding of self, relationships, and the world with Schema Therapy, an approach rooted in early childhood development. It addresses maladaptive schemas and gradually cultivates healthier thought patterns, resulting in less emotional distress, improved self-esteem, enhanced relationships, and heightened overall functioning. This therapy is particularly effective for those navigating personality disorders, attachment disorders, OCD, PTSD, and anxiety.

COUPLES AND FAMILIES

GOTTMAN METHOD

Strengthen the foundation of relationships with the Gottman Method, a proven technique that fosters intimacy, effective conflict resolution, and a life built on shared meaning. Whether seeking to deepen a romantic connection or striving for family harmony, this approach equips individuals with valuable tools.
