Our Approach to Mental Health Treatment
It all starts with an initial intake interview, where our team will help you set goals and create an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs and circumstances. Here’s what your care plan could look like:
Individualized Therapy:
Our licensed therapists provide one-on-one sessions tailored to your unique needs, utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process and heal from trauma.
Group Therapy:
Engage in a supportive environment with peers facing similar challenges. Our group therapy sessions cover a wide range of topics including problem-solving, grief, coping skills, and conflict management. We enhance these sessions with experiential methods such as somatic experiencing to release physical tension linked to trauma, art and music therapy for creative expression, yoga for mindfulness and body awareness, and beat-based movement therapy to connect rhythm and movement for emotional release.
Family Therapy:
Strengthen your relationships through sessions with either your biological or chosen family. Utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS), we help family members understand and respect each other's roles and feelings, fostering healthier dynamics and deeper connections. This approach is designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and support the overall mental well-being of the family unit.
Psychiatry:
Our psychiatric services include thorough evaluations and ongoing medication management to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. Our psychiatrists work closely with you to monitor and adjust medications as needed, ensuring they align with your therapeutic goals and contribute to your overall mental health.
