The clinicians at Essential are committed to helping people overcome obstacles and move forward with their lives with clarity, vision and confidence. Because we recognize that traditional talk therapy is not for everyone, we offer a wide array of groups and therapies to increase practical therapeutic skill building and techniques learned in 1:1 sessions.
We offer adapted DBT skills and interventions, social confidence skill building, social groups, life skills training and social improvisation training.
We realize that many symptoms people experience are reactions to living in a stressful, fast-paced, complex, evolving, and often contradictory world. Finding a sense of calm, taming the sensory experience are at the core of the path to progress.
