Our Philosophy and Treatment Orientation
Our strength-based approach is grounded in the knowledge that clients bring their own gifts and life experience to the treatment process, and that these should be discovered and incorporated into a treatment program tailored to their needs.
Our psychologists have strong backgrounds in treating a variety of problems and issues, utilizing primarily cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic methods. As an adjunct to our clinically based treatment plans, when appropriate we may use EMDR, art and creativity, sand tray, dream work, mind-body techniques and spiritual exploration to assist clients in reaching their goals.
With our clients’ permission, we collaborate closely with referring medical professionals and educators, and holistic healthcare practitioners, to maximize the effectiveness of their medical and educational interventions.
