Family Counseling

Family counseling can be an effective way to help families resolve conflicts and improve communication.  The primary goals of family therapy include improving communication, solving family problems, understanding and managing family situations, creating a better functioning home environment and exploring interactional dynamics of the family and its relationship to psychopathology.  Family therapy can occur on its own or be performed in combination with other types of therapy offered within the practice. 

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-Informed

DBT is designed to help clients both accept where they are while motivating and initiating change.  DBT was developed by Marsha Linehan and designed to help people increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states and by helping to assess which coping skills to apply in a sequence of events, thoughts, feelings and behaviors to help avoid undesired reactions.  DBT-informed is offered in a modified format in which clients are granted a combination of skills based learning in 4 modules (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness), individual DBT-informed sessions guided by a diary card, and limited access to between session phone coaching. 

Child Counseling

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
