Individual Therapy
Tailored one-on-one therapy sessions create safe spaces for exploring thoughts and emotions. Our evidence-based approach helps clients develop coping mechanisms for anxiety, depression, and trauma while fostering self-awareness and personal growth. Sessions focus on achieving specific treatment goals through customized therapeutic techniques.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Research-backed DBT combines CBT with mindfulness to treat depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. Weekly individual sessions and skills training groups teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Phone coaching helps apply skills to real-life challenges between sessions.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Specialized KAP combines ketamine with psychotherapy to process difficult emotions under professional supervision. This innovative treatment addresses treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and anxiety by facilitating deeper emotional processing through dissociative states guided by licensed therapists.
Exposure Response Prevention
Proven ERP therapy treats OCD and anxiety disorders through controlled exposure to triggers without compulsive rituals. Gradual desensitization helps clients build tolerance for anxiety-provoking situations, reducing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors through systematic therapeutic intervention.
