We are a comprehensively trained multidisciplinary team of clinicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists who provide evidence-based treatment to children, adolescents, young adults & families. Starting with the science and research, we deliver evidence-based treatment tailored to your family's individual needs. Our early and middle childhood team specializes in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children (DBT-C) to treat anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, disruptive behaviors, selective mutism, trauma and depression. Our adolescent and young adult programs specialize in providing DBT and DBT-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), ACT and Exposure Therapy (ExRP) to treat anxiety, OCD, depression, gender dysphoria, suicidal behaviors, non-suicidal self-injury (self-harm), substance use, disordered eating, dissociative disorders, somatic disorders, autism spectrum disorder, non-verbal learning disability, as well as PTSD and Complex-PTSD. Additionally, we offer parent coaching, family therapy, and couples therapy.
We are passionate about addressing the disturbing fact that mental illness continues to increase despite greater evidence-based treatment availability than ever before. We believe this is due to the unethical managed-care practices, rigid clinical delivery models, and interventions developed on a fundamental misunderstanding about emotions and emotional disorders. Our services teach individuals and families how to listen to primary emotions that signal information about our core needs and how to act opposite to secondary emotions that cause distress and suffering. We provide state-of-the-art evidence-based treatments (EBT), working as a multidisciplinary team to provide collaborative, individualized, and comprehensive treatment targeting your child's individual symptoms, their academic and social experiences, transactions within the family system, and whole-family support through individual therapy, group therapy, caregiver coaching, family therapy & couples therapy. Services can flex from weekly outpatient care to intensive outpatient programming, delivering 1-15 hours of individualized care. Progress is measured through weekly measurement-based care and monthly team meetings.
Navigating the mental health world can be incredibly challenging. No two therapists seem to provide the same type or quality of care. Even the most well-intended, evidence-based treatment providers seem to misunderstand the science of emotions. Gaslighting your own mind to change your thinking so you'll feel and behave differently is no way to live. Treatment should be focused on helping you and your family clarify your core values/needs, identify and understand what your primary emotions are telling you about how to maintain these needs, and how to act opposite to secondary emotions that cause distress and suffering. Treatment should put itself out of business by teaching you to confidently: 1) identify your emotions, 2) understand what they're telling you, and 3) trust that you have the problem-solving, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reliably and confidently meet your needs.
