Frequently Asked Questions About Conditions We Treat

  • What is the main therapeutic approach you use?

    Our foundational approach is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which is highly effective for emotion dysregulation. We also integrate other evidence-based modalities like CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and trauma therapies like EMDR and Prolonged Exposure (PE) to provide the most effective, individualized care.

  • Do I need an official diagnosis to start therapy?

    No, you do not need a prior diagnosis. Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your unique challenges and goals. This allows us to collaboratively determine the most accurate diagnosis and the most effective treatment plan for you.

  • Do you treat issues other than the ones listed?

    While this list represents our core areas of specialty, the skills taught in therapies like DBT are effective for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Please contact us for a consultation to discuss your specific needs.

  • Are your services for adults or adolescents?

    We have programs for both adults and adolescents. Our clinicians are trained to adapt our evidence-based treatments to be developmentally appropriate and effective for each age group, ensuring that every client receives the most suitable care.
