May 2025: Accepting New Clients! Welcome to Changes Psychological Services! We specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults with anxiety and OCD. CBT is an evidence-based, solution-focused and goal-oriented treatment. Our clients are high-achieving professionals with demanding careers and busy lives. We understand that their time is limited and valuable. So we prioritize helping them to get the most out of treatment, while tailoring our approach to their specific needs. And we're experts at supporting our clients to both set goals and achieve them. So, in other words, they get lasting results!
We want you to walk away with the strategies and techniques needed to handle ALL of life's stresses. And we can help you to learn the skills to do just that! But we don't want you to be in therapy with us for years. So our focus is to provide you with the tools to become your own therapist, so you can move forward feeling confident, balanced & empowered.
Most of our clients are new to therapy. But others have been in therapy before and didn't get out it what they expected. All of our clients come looking for tangible skills to help them manage their symptoms and improve their lives. And they're ready to make changes, but just need some support. If this sounds like you, please contact us today!
