Individual Sessions
Many individuals seek the support of psychotherapy at some point in their lives, especially in times of turmoil like we are experiencing now. The assistance of a skilled and caring therapist can have many benefits. While these benefits vary from person to person, just beginning the process of therapy can help ease some of the isolation we all can feel when confronted with difficulties in our lives. Whether you are seeking assistance for anxiety, depression or a history of trauma, need help coping with the stress and hardship of everyday life, or wish to become more accepting of yourself and others, our therapists are here to help.

Family Sessions
Our family lives can be tremendously gratifying and enriching. They can also become a source of tension, especially during periods of stress. Such responses to stress are often normal, but you may need some help from time to time. Families seek the support of psychotherapy for many reasons. Most come wishing to resolve chronic tensions that have developed with certain members or the family as a whole. Sometimes these tensions are fueled by change and loss, and at other times, long-standing difficulties in mediating competing or conflicting needs within the family. We understand how inevitable these kinds of hardships can be, even among families who love each other deeply.
If you're struggling with your brother, sister, parents, nuclear, extended, chosen or step-family, psychotherapy can help.
Families often seek therapy for:
A history of abuse
Addiction or problematic drug and alcohol use
Adjustments to change related to losses, separation, adoption, marriage, remarriage, separation, divorce, relocation or financial or employment stresses
Care of children with special needs, aging parents or an ill family member
A child's transition to adolescence or young adulthood
Changes in family structure
Conflicts between siblings or parents
Difficulties with anger and emotional regulation
Difficulties with schooling
Children and Adolescent Sessions
Even children in very loving families can experience emotional difficulties. It can be profoundly distressing to see your child struggle, and not know how to respond, or to try and help, but see them continue to suffer. Fortunately, psychotherapy can help. Since children process their experience differently than adults, psychotherapy typically involves some element of play. Therapeutic play offers children a gentle way to process whatever may be upsetting them. By observing a child's orientation towards play, a therapist can begin to understand and respond to emotional communications from the child that are not always accessible through language. As children become older, therapy may develop to include more conversation or discussion, or the use of art, poetry or drama as tools. These more expressive mediums can help teenager process the bewildering and sometimes intense emotions of their teenage years. They can also provide a forum for addressing any underlying difficulties a teen may be experiencing at home, in school or in their relationships with others.
If your child is experiencing any of the challenges listed below, it may be a sign that they need additional support.
Academic or school difficulties
Anger toward others
Anxiety
Bed-wetting
Chronic rebelliousness or disregard for others
Chronic fear
Cutting
Depression
Difficulties with peer or sibling relationships
