More than traditional therapy- we offer innovative, hard-hitting avenues to personal, relational and professional growth.

WHAT WE TREAT

• EMOTIONAL AVOIDANCE:

  Escape mechanisms evolve so that humans can survive harsh conditions and aim to protect us from difficult emotional experiences. For those who have endured trauma, constant conflict, high pressure career environments, chronically stressful experiences, or ignored their own needs for too long- escape becomes their comfort zone- until it starts to feel stagnating, suffocating, limiting, or destructive.. We help clients our clients stay present to face difficult emotions with confidence.

• COMPLEX TRAUMA:

  We work with those who have experienced complex trauma that has profoundly impacted their ability to experience emotions in a healthy way. Our clients are often stuck in a survival response to dissociate, fight, disconnect, avoid, and escape. Learning to allow fear and vulnerability to process reality in a trusted space empowers our clients to thrive.

• RELATIONSHIPS & ATTACHMENT:

  We work with those who have struggled to connect and be vulnerable with others, had problems maintaining healthy relationships, or dealt with codependency. Work through relationship issues to clearly see your part in common problems and learn to engage more effectively and vulnerably. The end game is to build satisfaction in your connections and step out of unhealthy cycles.

• ADOLESCENT ISSUES:

  We are experts at treating the complex dynamics of being a teenager. From navigating developing depression or anxiety, executive functioning issues or ADHD, impulsive and risk-taking behaviors, oppositional and defiant behavior, family conflict, transitions, identity issues, or school pressures. The bold emotions and impulsivity of adolescence requires support that can hold boundaries and also be a trusted support, without it feeling like a forced connection from a parent. We will have your teen’s back and challenge them to grow and share their emotions in a. healthy way.

• MEN’S ISSUES:

  We treat clients who have never found a trusted place to explore, identify, experience and express their emotion. Often stuck in workaholism, emotional shutdowns, anger, unhealthy relationship dynamics, over-spending, over-partying, or substance abuse- we’ll help you face what you’ve been avoiding. We have particular expertise in those who grew up in high conflict homes, those with high pressure high performing careers, those with careers that expose them to consistent trauma (law enforcement, military, healthcare workers), and those who are survivors of abuse in the troubled teen industry.

• SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ADDICTION, & RECOVERY:

  Our team has a unique mix of clinical expertise, science-backed holistic approaches, and lived experience that allow powerful work with addiction. From those just beginning to consider their substance use a problem to those wanting to maintain fulfillment in long term recovery- we can be honest, help keep you honest, and build accountability. Repairing damage in your life, work and relationships due to substance use can seem daunting, but it’s achievable with help.

• OCD & ANXIETY DISORDERS:

  We provide the highest standard care in evidenced-based practice to those with Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or a specific phobia. Our team can help clients work towards a life less constrained by anxiety and avoidance. We work with you to manage obsessive thoughts, compulsions, and anxiety, providing strategies to regain control. The end game is to help anxiety not be the factor that dictates the dimensions of your life.
