Services
Individual Therapy
Our licensed clinicians provide personalized therapy sessions for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. Using evidence-based techniques like CBT and mindfulness, we help clients develop coping strategies and achieve mental wellness through weekly 45-50 minute sessions tailored to individual needs.
EMDR Therapy
Specialized 90-minute EMDR sessions address trauma and PTSD symptoms through guided eye movements and bilateral stimulation. This evidence-based approach helps reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact. Sessions are conducted by clinicians with advanced EMDR certification, showing measurable improvements in trauma recovery outcomes.
Couples Therapy
Fifty-minute sessions focus on improving communication patterns and resolving conflicts between partners. Our therapists use Gottman Method and emotionally focused techniques to strengthen relationships, address infidelity, and navigate life transitions. Most couples report improved connection within 8-12 sessions through structured skill-building exercises.
Substance Use Interventions
Comprehensive programs combine individual counseling, relapse prevention planning, and support group referrals. Our clinicians use motivational interviewing and CBT to address substance abuse patterns, with options for intensive outpatient support. Treatment plans integrate medical detox referrals when necessary for client safety.
Telehealth Services
Secure video sessions maintain continuity of care through encrypted HIPAA-compliant platforms. Available for Massachusetts residents, telehealth appointments follow the same structure as in-person visits with added flexibility for clients facing transportation barriers or health-related restrictions.
