Compassionate and Discreet Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing. Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, substance abuse issues, sexually-related struggles, and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. There are several different types of psychotherapy, and some types may work better with certain problems or issues. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.

Cognitive-Anayltic Therapy is a type of therapy in which the therapist and patient work together to identify schemas, or subconscious beliefs about the world. Together we’d explore the root causes of these schemas and detect wherever they are causing issues in our psychological or social lives. We would search for the meaning and work towards a corrective-emotional experience in which remission can be obtained. Frequently Cognitive-Analytical Therapy can occur following brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, as the CBT assists with the development of coping skills, which is often recommended. On the other hand, the Cognitive Analysis that would follow prevents emotional flair ups entirely and helps one to meet their goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that are harmful or ineffective, replacing them with more accurate thoughts and functional behaviors. It can help a person focus on current problems and how to solve them. It often involves practicing new skills in the “real world.” CBT can be helpful in treating a variety of disorders, including depression, anxiety, trauma related disorders, and eating disorders. 

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a specific type of CBT that helps regulate emotions. It is often used to treat people with chronic suicidal thoughts and people with borderline personality disorder, eating disorders and PTSD. It teaches new skills to help people take personal responsibility to change unhealthy or disruptive behavior. It involves both individual and group therapy.

Motivational Interviewing is a clinical technique that can help one identify their intrinsic values and strengths, and using them to assist with motivation in making a change. It is one of the most widely-used approaches for substance use-related issues.

Psychoeducation helps the patient to understand their condition, potential consequences, potential benefits, any relevant pathology, and evidence-based tactics to help through tough moments. Psychoeducation will also help the patient to understand their psycho-social health better in such a way that they can continue aware mindfulness, thus improving quality of life.

Therapy Sessions

Psychotherapy, or counseling is available for individuals (age 16+), families, and couples. Typically sessions range from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the patient’s preferences and certain clinical factors, and the frequency can occur anywhere from two times a week to once monthly.

We are out-of-network with all major insurance carriers. 

Most insurances plans with Out-Of-Network Benefits will cover part or all of one’s treatment.

If needed, a Superbill to submit to one’s insurance carrier for reimbursement will happily be provided.

Of note, Cigna plans are able to be billed directly by the office, if desired, thus resulting in the practice collecting directly from Cigna. All other carriers would require a superbill, though.
