HOW WE CAN HELP
Individual Therapy
You notice your child or teen is struggling with feeling on point in the classroom or on the playground. We can help with that. We work on enhancing self-esteem, self-advocacy, and general well being and happiness. We utilize CBT, play therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, art interventions, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques, to name a few.
Adults though also need help. Navigating workplace drama or managing the demands of being a stay at home parent isn’t easy either. Let’s be honest. Our goal when working with adults, like our work with children and adolescents, is to enhance strengths and gain a sense of agency over one’s life. Our focus tends to be on how past and current experiences collectively shape the way we experience ourselves and life. With adults, we use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, insight-oriented and relational frameworks, as well as emotion focused techniques to aid the process of change. Areas of expertise with adults include family grief, stagnation in feeling joy, anxiety and mood struggles, relationship problems, life transitions, and adults with a history of family trauma.
Telemental Health
Your family is busy with competing demands with one parent who has a high powered job, kids who have extracurriculars up the wazoo, and a family member who is immunocompromised. However, therapy is a priority. Telemental health may be up your alley. Telemental health is safe, secure and easy to use either via our videoconferencing or phone service that meets all HIPAA and federal security guidelines. We provide individual therapy, parent consultation, and/or family therapy virtually. We can help you overcome personal challenges including problems with anxiety, depression, financial stress, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma, and chronic health conditions.
Family Therapy
Whether you reserve Friday night for game night or Sunday for dinner at Grandma’s, we respect and honor your family’s culture and heritage. We want to hear about it. We also want to hear about the fights and tough times. Typically, in family therapy we work together focusing on family dynamics, communication style, and culture to improve the well being of all. Family therapy can address issues related to coping with illness or pain, depression and anxiety, or attachment and trauma history affecting one or more family members.
Family therapy can benefit a number of different types of families including those with young children, aging parents, interfaith and intercultural marriages, and parents with adult children who present with failure to launch.
Concierge Services
You travel frequently and cannot commit to weekly sessions but know you or your family need support. We get it. Life doesn’t fit into a perfect box but you are ready for support. We cater sessions directly to you in a way that is unique and a little bit different than the standard 45-minute, in office, couch session. Whether it be through our parent weekend intensive, off-site based psychotherapy or school placement services. Let us create that for, and with you, in our concierge practice.
Parent Consultation and Support
Parenting is exhausting. We provide parent consultation to support you, as you support your kids. Topics for parent consultation may include: management of extended family relationships, navigation of multicultural differences, decisions regarding school placement, and integration of different parenting ideologies. We work with parents to address their own barriers to communication and to support their relationship, while they make adjustments at home.
Organizational Consultative Services
We are in a unique position to “get” your organization because we live and breathe systemic issues everyday. We have an expertise focused on communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. We provide consultation services to organizations including schools, businesses, non-profits, and places of worship. We take a direct approach that combines psychology and business to empower transformation. We believe that members of an organization require consultants that understand what fuels human behavior.
Chronic Illness Support
It’s hard to put a positive spin on being diagnosed, and in some cases, never actually obtaining a diagnosis, but living with a chronic and/or rare condition. It may change multiple aspects of your life from employment status to friendships, romantic and intimate relationships, and parenting endeavors. We understand that living with illness is not about further pathologizing you, gaslighting your disease, or shaming your experience. We will hear you and join you on the long and circuitous journey.
