Individual Therapy
Our counselors serve clients with a wide range of clinical needs including: anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, post traumatic stress, severe mental illness, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, and court mandated individual therapy. We also serve clients with more common life adjustment challenges including: job transitions, retirement, divorce, relationship difficulties, and mid-life crises. Appointments are available from twice weekly to once a month.

Counseling for Children & Adolescents  
We work with children and adolescents to increase their self-esteem and confidence in order to decrease or better cope with mental health symptoms. We work to improve their chances to have successful relationships at school, with peers, and with family members. For children's counseling we can accept Healthy Families insurance.

Couples/Marriage Counseling 
We emphasize a non-blaming counseling approach that facilitates each member of the couple to be the person they want to be in a relationship; to decrease conflict  and increase positive communication; to get their needs met; and to adjust to the normal opportunities and challenges posed by long term relationships.

Psychological Assessments
We provide psychological assessments for immigration proceedings in English and Spanish. Assessments may be required to indicate to the court the potential mental health impact on family members separated from an individual seeking to legally live in the United States.
