Individual Psychotherapy

Our team uses client-centered, neurodivergent-affirming, skill-based strategies to help children, adolescents, and adults improve their ability to regulate emotions, target anxiety and mood concerns, increase flexibility, bolster executive functioning, improve friendships and social relationships, and build independent living skills. We have Certified PEERS® Providers and offer social skills treatment on a one-on-one basis.

Treatment is always individualized to target specific goals based on each person’s unique needs and priorities, and skill-building practice is assigned outside of session to help with generalization into daily life. Clients that are an appropriate for our clinical services generally have diagnoses or difficulties related to autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression and/or mood concerns.

Some of the approaches our therapists use include: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, exposure response prevention (ERP), parent management training (PMT), and parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT).

Therapy: What to Expect

  • Following a free consultation to determine appropriate fit for services, an intake appointment will be scheduled to gather background information, current presenting problems and concerns, and to begin to identify treatment targets for therapy.

  • Our therapists provide concrete, skills-based treatment, and clients can often make significant progress on a short-term (i.e., 4-6 month) basis. Treatment goals will be tracked over time to ensure progress. A treatment plan will be discussed at the initial intake appointment and continually addressed throughout therapy.

  • Telehealth services are available!

  • Parents are an active part of therapy for children and adolescents and will be integrated into sessions as needed to learn strategies that will facilitate treatment gains at home. Weekly “homework” will also be assigned for the child and parents to practice new skills and generalize gains across settings.
