Our Services

Our services begin with a commitment to strengthening the mind-body-spirit-nature connection.

 

We start with understanding you within a holistic perspective, making sure to identify your needs incorporate your strengths, and draw on this understanding to develop a treatment approach directly aimed at taking you where you want to go.

 

Services include traditional psychotherapy (individual, couples, family, group), psychological testing and evaluation, as well as trainings, workshops (parent training, social skills, career counseling, self-care) and consultations.

Our couples and family therapy counselors are here to assist you with these life-cycle transitions, help resolve conflicts, and increase relationship satisfaction.
