 Services

Individual psychotherapy
gives you a safe, confidential place to get to know yourself better.  Depending on how long and how often you meet with your therapist, you might use this time to get through a crisis or loss, find a new way to deal with a specific problem in your life, or deeply explore the way you feel about yourself and your relationships.
 
Family, couple, or polygroup therapy
is an opportunity to learn better ways to communicate, work out your conflicts with the help of a therapist who is both impartial and supportive, and re-discover what you appreciate and enjoy about each other.

Telephone sessions
may be available, if you are a California resident, and you and your therapist agree that this form of therapy would be beneficial.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
is a powerful, effective trauma reduction technique, which can help with a wide variety of other problems, too.  It can be used in addition to therapy you may already be doing.


Group therapy
provides a chance to get support and feedback from others who share many of your feelings and concerns.

Workshops
are an easy, affordable way to learn self-help tools and get a fresh perspective.
