Individual Therapy with children is based in expressive arts and combines interventions from trauma informed psychotherapy, internal family systems, existential therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, somatic processing, movement and drama therapy.​

​​

The intention of individual therapy is to increase a child's emotional literacy to communicate feelings with trusted adults, learn and engage in emotional regulation skills in stressful situations, enrich self confidence in doing new or challenging activities and support collaborative relational encounters with peers and adults.

​

It is required that parents and guardians of children 13 years old and under meet monthly for parent engagement sessions to discuss ways in which to support the child in the home, school and community. ​​

Couple's Therapy focuses on interventions from The Gottman Method, Martha Kauppi, David Schnarch, trauma informed psychotherapy, and systemic therapy.  

​

Couples invested in the work seek to improve communication and listening, engage in relational thinking, implement trustworthy behaviors, disengage from mind mapping and over/under functioning dynamics, learn the difference between boundaries and agreements, (re)establish intimacy and differentiate from unhelpful family of origin narratives. 

Systemic Family Therapy examines how the family is functioning overall and how each family member contributes to interpersonal dynamics based on Bowen Family Systems Theory.

 

Clients in family therapy learn how to perspective take and adjust interactions in order to contribute to the family's overall health and well-being.

​

Family therapy is often recommended in lieu of individual therapy for children 13 years old and younger. An assessment will be made prior to starting therapy to determine the most effective way to support the child and family. 

Individuals, couples and polycules can benefit from Sex Therapy. 

​

Focus of treatment includes the use of Sensate Focus for sexual discrepancies, sexual dysfunctions and sexual trauma, discussion of agreements, contracts and communication in ethical non-monogamous relationships, developmentally appropriate conversations about sexual education with children and teenagers, exploration of kink and BDSM, and the evaluation and treatment of compulsive sexual behavior, sexual dysfunction and paraphillas.
