Treatment Specialties

We work with clients of a variety of backgrounds and believe the presence of a mental health diagnosis should not be a precursor to receiving mental health care. The journey through life is complicated, and that alone is valuable to work through.

Areas of Focus

Disordered Eating

Eating disorders are a serious, life threatening illness that requires specialized and collaborative treatment. Work with folks with disordered eating will focus on behavior modification, distress tolerance, building communities of support, and disconnecting from unhelpful patterns.

Trauma

The experience of witnessing or living through a life threatening or traumatic event can have lasting effects on a person. This can also look like experiencing long term, developmental trauma in childhood as a result of neglectful or absent caregivers. Treating trauma includes increasing coping skills, reconciling beliefs around the trauma, and changing the way a person responds to triggers.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive thoughts that result in compulsive behaviors can make engaging in life in a meaningful way challenging and distressing. Specific work around reducing compulsive actions and decreasing perseveration on obsessive beliefs will be targeted in treatment to help move in the direction of a more values driven life.

Gender/Sexual Identity

For some, there is a mismatch between their physical body and the way they feel inside. For others, the simple fact of being attracted to someone can cause shame, distress, or being shut out from family or friends. Living in a cis, heteronormative world can be challenging. Therapy can provide a safe haven to explore who you are and how to live in a world that is not always accepting.
