Individual Counseling

If you’re on our website, you probably have some questions about treatment modalities that seem to resonate with you. Let’s talk about best treatment matches for your needs. We will use what is most appropriate for your personal style and desired results, and this can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic Approaches, Mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy, Strategic Therapy, Techniques from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic Psychotherapy and Somatic Approaches. Sessions are generally in 50, 80 or 100 minute increments.

Group Counseling

We provide several group formats. The priority for our groups is to create a safe environment where learning and relationship repair with the self and others is possible. The group then becomes “the client,” and we work towards the health of the group as a whole. Individuals often experience a different kind of healing, awareness and comfort that builds upon the growth made in individual psychotherapy. The “group” is a living, breathing thing, and this means you will be challenged to the level you feel ready for, and we will build new dimensions to the group as we go along.

Feelings of guilt, pain, confusion and seemingly inexplicable behaviors often combine like a vortex that make it difficult to get a clear picture of ourselves.

SEE WHATS COMING UP

EMDR

Where brain technology meets therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an innovative method of psychotherapy that enhances your ability to resolve problems in day to day life by assisting you to mentally attend to “internal” experiences and “external” stimuli at the same time. EMDR is also increasingly employed in the growing field of positive psychology to enhance performance for people at home, at work, in sports and in the performing arts. There is also evidence in its ability to diminish symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder Watch a Brief Video on EMDR

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain disregulation, such as when the brain over functions, under functions or “can’t stop.” Maybe you know the feeling? Brain disregulation includes the anxiety-depression spectrum, attention deficits, behavior disorders, addictions, various sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, PMS and emotional disturbances. It is also useful for organic brain conditions such as seizures, and the autism spectrum. It is also employed for Peak Performance and maintaining or enhancing general brain health.

Peak Performance

If you’re struggling to excel in your professional life, sport or other challenge, or you simply want to explore how you achieve more by being able find your place in the “Zone,” Peak Performance therapy might be for you. If you want to get back into your role after an injury, a public embarrassment or other less than desirable performance, we would love to work with you. Our use of strategic therapy, EMDR and personal coaching will get you back your edge, self confidence and drive. READ MORE

Brief Treatment Intensives

Treatment intensives are brief, generally four-hour to two day, sessions with either one or multiple psychotherapists. These sessions are designed specifically for the individual, couple or family to identify and establish a foundation for alleviation of the situations and interactions causing disruption and discord. They are also used to promote and reinforce positive interaction and skills already in place, and to bolster well-being and harmony.

Linguistically & Culturally Responsive Services

The center maintains a strong culturally-responsive capability to deliver most services. Together with concentration on how acculturation and cultural values influence behaviors and attitudes, sense of self-worth and coping, we conduct therapy within the context of the client’s value and belief system, and with appreciation of extended family systems.

Integrative Functional Medicine, Psychiatric Treatment

The Center offers “in house” Integrative Functional Medicine for clients interested in really optimizing their health across multiple domains. Treatment for a wide range of needs is available. Of particular note is that these services are integrated in our team approach to treatment, and this means our integrative psychiatrist works hand in hand with our therapists to yield the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Tele-Health Therapy

For those who just can’t seem to find the time to travel for face to face services, we offer a practical solution: Services delivered by telephone (or Skype, FaceTime, etc) can be a useful approach to ensuring you have the opportunity to work on the issues you desire to work on without taking so much of your day from your busy schedule. We can even provide a mix of face to face and telephone as might be appropriate or desirable.

Addictions

Among the most challenging struggles that can be faced, addiction is emotionally draining and insidious. Let’s understand and use every tool available to help you and your loved ones develop and maintain hope throughout the process. We combine hopefulness with practical skills and behaviors. Treating multiple addictions for over 26 years – in settings ranging from outpatient psychotherapy to locked facilities – we know that a “one size fits all” treatment plan ignores the complex nature of addiction. Specializing in substance addiction as well as sex addiction, we embark on a journey with each individual to assess and understand the nature of their “acting-out behavior” to determine the unmet developmental needs that they are trying to meet.

One to One Sober Living

This is provided for individuals and families that need additional daily support in their recovery from addiction. Recovery can benefit greatly by having a daytime, 24 hour or week-long sober living support friend to share their day. This service helps facilitate positive skills and action developed in treatment and that promote lifestyle changes. For individuals who feel unsteady in applying new healthy choices, this assistance can help to build positive routines and support recovery plans.

Personal & Leadership Coaching

Coaching is a non-therapeutic activity that builds personal development, achievement of goals for being more effective as an individual or leader. Do you want to become a more dynamic and strategic thinker, or perhaps learn new ways to become a truly effective listener – someone who listens to understand?  Coaching helps not only to solve problems, but to prevent them in the first place.

Energizing your Organization

Organizations of all types frequently invite The Center to share motivational, content and specialized training information on multiple topics that will excite, provoke thought, build teamwork, and generate creativity.  Call to discuss your specific needs, and we will prepare and deliver a very special event for your group.  Always entertaining and highly interactive, this is a great way to build bonding and skills in a fun and inspiring way.
