Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a modified form of cognitive therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices such as meditation and breathing exercises. Using these tools, MBCT therapists teach clients how to break away from negative thought patterns that can cause a downward spiral into an anxious or depressed state so they will be able to fight off/ not attach to automatic negative thoughts before they take hold.
Somatic therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses a combination of breath work, body awareness, physical movement, and psychotherapy for holistic healing. In addition to talk therapy, mind-body exercises and other physical techniques are utilized to help release the pent-up tension that negatively affects a patient’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
This type of therapy is often used to treat conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and chronic pain. It helps people process and release trauma stored in the body.
Get creative with us! Art therapy is a great alternative to traditional talk therapy.
Through integrative methods, art therapy engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal articulation alone. Kinesthetic, sensory, perceptual, and symbolic opportunities invite alternative modes of receptive and expressive communication, which can circumvent the limitations of language. Visual and symbolic expression gives voice to experience, and empowers individual, communal, and societal transformation.

EMDR is primarily used to treat PTSD but can also be used to treat a myriad of other diagnoses such as Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, and Gender Identity Disorders.
Through the use of eye movements, EMDR allows patients to reprocess traumatic and/or disturbing experiences, EMDR therapy doesn’t require talking in detail about a distressing issue. EMDR instead focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts or behaviors that result from a distressing experience (trauma). This allows your brain to resume a natural healing process.
EMDR relies on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, a theory about how your brain stores memories.
When you undergo EMDR, you access memories of a trauma event in very specific ways. Combined with eye movements and guided instructions, accessing those memories helps you reprocess what you remember from the negative event.
That reprocessing helps “repair” the mental injury from that memory. Remembering what happened to you will no longer feel like reliving it, and the related feelings will be much more manageable.
Nature therapy, also called ecotherapy, is the practice of being in nature to nurture heling.
While this often encompasses being outside, this can also be done inside the office.

These therapies start under the guidance of a clinican but our clinicians can also guide you on practices you can do at home both inside and outside.
Grief counseling, also known as bereavement, is a form of therapy intended to help you cope with loss, like the death of a partner, family member, friend, colleague, or pet.

In the short term, grief counseling can help you navigate the aftermath of a loss and make practical decisions, like funeral arrangements.
In the long run, it can help you accept the loss of your loved one and adapt to life without them.
Family systems therapy is a form of psycghothearpy that helps individuals resolve their problems in the context of their family units, where many problems are likely to begin. Each family member works together with the others to better understand their group dynamic and how their individual actions affect each other and the family unit as a whole. One of the most important premises of family systems therapy is that what happens to one member of a family happens to everyone in the family.

We offer an open and exploratory approach to gender dysphoria for both the person experiencing it and their parent(s)/guardian(s). We do this through traditional modalities such as CBT, CPT, and ACT; research exploration, psycho-education; and holistic approaches to addressing gender dysphoria.
We offer a supportive environment to openly and thoroughly explore options, challenge any identified cognitive distortions or beliefs about gender and transitioning/de-transitioning, increasing distress tolerance skills, increasing self esteem, exploring how family and societal messaging may be affecting beliefs about gender and transitioning/de-transitioning, exploring long and short term benefits and consequences of medical intervention, and providing psycho-education about the correlation of emerging gender dysphoria in certain demographics and occurring disorders
We are not here to convince you/your child to or not to transition/de-transition. We are here to help you make an informed decision about your/your child’s health and treatment. We take our time in this delicate exploration process and do everything in our power to ethically and respectfully care for our patients to ensure that they are in a healthy mental state to make their own informed decisions about their care.

Considered a "solutions-oriented" form of talk therapy, CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior.
