Our Approach

While there are many ways therapists can help those with mental health concerns, we focus on providing clients with strategies and skills that demonstrate clear, measurable results. Our approach can be especially valuable to people who are experiencing problematic emotions, feel stuck, and want relief. It’s also well-suited for those who have struggled to see sufficient benefit from their prior efforts at self-help, medications, or general supportive therapy. We specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy, utilizing practices shown to be effective in numerous research studies. We’ll work together to create a personalized treatment plan that will help you make efficient progress toward your goals. Our collaborative approach ensures that we incorporate effective therapy tools specifically suited to your unique situation. Read about our therapists, learn about our treatment process, and discover how evidence-based practices can help you achieve lasting change.
