What Outpatient Behavioral Health Looks Like Here
Our work is talk therapy with a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) or licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC). Sessions are scheduled appointments at our office or by secure video. We see people for stress, anxiety, mood, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, and life transitions.
We use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapies such as Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Our types of therapy guide explains each one in plain English.
Who We Work With
Children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families. We also support veterans and military families, and our owner serves veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Explore child and teen counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, and substance use counseling.
