What we treat
Specialties & approaches
Our clinicians are trained in evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, ACT, EFT for couples, and Play Therapy for kids — and they actually explain what those mean in plain English.
🌊
Anxiety & panic
For racing thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety, OCD-spectrum patterns, and the relentless "what if" loop. We build practical skills you can use Tuesday at 2pm.
🌧️
Depression
From "I'm just kinda flat" to "I can't get out of bed." We use behavioral activation, CBT, and parts work to help you reconnect with what matters.
🌱
Trauma & PTSD (EMDR)
EMDR-trained clinicians, plus IFS and somatic approaches. We don't push you into the deep end — we go at the pace your nervous system can actually handle.
💞
Couples therapy
EFT-informed work for connection, communication, repair, and the stuck patterns that always show up at 11pm on a Thursday.
🎈
Kids (5–12)
Play therapy, anxiety, behavioral concerns, school refusal, divorce/blended families, sibling stuff, and parent coaching alongside.
🎒
Teens (13–17)
Therapists who actually understand teen world. School, friendships, identity, body stuff, online life, family conflict, and self-harm.
⚡
ADHD support
Beyond meds. Executive function, self-compassion, late-diagnosed adult ADHD, and the shame loop that often comes with it.
🪶
Grief & loss
For losing a person, a relationship, a future you'd planned, or a version of yourself. Grief doesn't move in stages — we don't pretend it does.
👥
Family therapy
Parents + kids, blended families, parenting through divorce, neurodivergent family dynamics, and adult-child / parent repair.
🏳️🌈
LGBTQIA+ affirming
Out clinicians, allies, and gender-affirming care across the team. We don't tolerate — we celebrate.
🧠
Life transitions
New job, new parent, new city, new diagnosis, new chapter — therapy for the in-between when nothing's broken but nothing feels right either.
🤝
Group therapy
Small, intentional groups — anxiety skills, parenting, teen DBT, perinatal — running on rolling cohorts at our offices.
Our approach
You're not a diagnosis. You're a whole person.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Your therapist tailors what they bring — CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, somatic, narrative — to what's actually happening for you. Sometimes that's homework and skills. Sometimes it's just space to feel something.
- Trauma-informed across the entire team
- Culturally affirming & LGBTQIA+ celebratory
- Plain-English explanations of every approach we use
- Collaborative goal-setting — not therapist-as-expert
"What's been the hardest part of this week?"
— a real question your therapist might actually ask
