Our Services
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual treatment involves meeting one-on-one with a treatment provider approximately once per week and is appropriate for adults, adolescents, and children. Our treatment providers collaborate with individuals and families to identify areas of concern and develop an individualized treatment plan. In cognitive behavior therapy individuals are coached to learn healthier ways of coping with stressful situations, change the way they think in critical situations, and gradually confront the things they fear in order to feel less afraid.
Intensive Psychotherapy
Intensive cognitive behavior therapy is an exposure-based treatment and consists of 1.5 – 2 hour therapy sessions two or more times per week. Individuals work one-on-one with their treatment provider to tailor a plan designed to confront anxiety-provoking situations while refraining from unhelpful responses such as avoidance, safety behaviors, and/or compulsive behaviors. As treatment progresses, individuals learn that they can handle uncomfortable situations, and experience a significant reduction in fear. This treatment is most effective for treating Specific Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and School Refusal, and can be undertaken with adults, adolescents, or children. Cost varies according to the number of visits recommended per week.
Speaking Engagements
