Discover How Psychotherapy Can Improve Your Life

Psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” is a journey you take with a licensed therapist. Together, you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, confidential space to address emotional challenges, mental health disorders, and life stressors.

Modalities of Treatment

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT helps individuals recognize and reshape harmful thought patterns that lead to negative behaviors and emotions. By identifying these patterns, you can develop healthier coping mechanisms and make meaningful changes in your daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is effective for anyone struggling with intense emotions or self-destructive behaviors. It teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious thoughts and past experiences—often from childhood—that may be influencing your current emotions and behavior. It aims to increase self-awareness and promote emotional growth.

Family & Couples Therapy

This form of therapy addresses relationship challenges by improving communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering deeper understanding between partners or family members. It’s ideal for building stronger, more supportive connections.
