Because mental health includes our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships,
mental health therapists help clients grow and heal in these areas. Our
team of therapists works with individuals, couples, and families on a
wide range of challenges, such as depression and anxiety, behavioral issues,
family concerns, and major life stressors.
You can feel confident that your therapist is highly trained to serve you
with research-supported tools, including approaches such as:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Gottman Couples Therapy
Adlerian Play and Sand Tray Therapy
Somatic Therapies, including Trauma-Responsive Yoga and Somatic Experiencing
Therapy services begin with an initial intake assessment where you and
your therapist will explore your present concerns as well as history across
life domains. Your therapist will use this information to determine a
diagnosis and to work with you on goals for the therapy process, such
as developing coping skills, improving mood and life engagement, strengthening
relationships, or healing past trauma.
Therapy is typically provided by licensed social workers, mental health
counselors, or marriage and family therapists. Therapists hold a master’s
degree and complete additional training in specific interventions. Our
therapists work closely with medication management and community support
providers, as well as any other supports that you feel are appropriate,
such as school staff or faith leaders.

Movement Therapy helps to mend and transform the nervous system. In this
therapy group, clients learn the protective patterns of the nervous system,
how to track the felt sensations throughout the body, and how to release
stuck patterns. These stuck patterns can lead to physical illness, anger,
irritability, rapidly fluctuating moods, aggression, and avoidance. In
addition to learning the science of the nervous system, clients will learn
movement and breath techniques that aid in the release of the stuck patterns
and associated trauma while healing the body and mind.
