A wide array of therapy

There are many types of psychotherapy. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is very effective for anxiety disorders, depression, anger, insomnia and chronic pain. In Cognitive Therapy, we learn to change the way we think because the emotional part of the brain listens to our thoughts. We learn to reconceptualize problems to make them manageable. In Behavior Therapy, we change how our body responds to stress through relaxation methods including meditation, breathing and biofeedback.
Through Insight and Person-Centered therapy, people have an opportunity to vent what is bothering them to a trained professional who maintains objectivity while actively listening. We offer new insights allowing people to form new perspectives and come up with new ways of coping.
