Our Treatment Approach

Your input and opinion is an important factor in developing your treatment plan. We meet with you and your partner, if that is the case, and jointly develop a treatment plan to address your specific needs. Our treatment plans rely on what the current research evidence shows is the most effective intervention for your concern. Some of the more common evidence-based treatment interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Acceptance Commitment Therapy; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; Grief/Loss Therapy; Values Clarification; Couple’s Therapy.

Your appointments will focus on achieving your specific goals for improvement or change, as well as providing you time to express your feelings and thoughts, explore options, or even develop new goals as necessary.
