Therapy
Psychotherapy is the treatment of behavioral, emotional, personality, and psychiatric disorders based on verbal and non-verbal communication and the application of empirically supported treatment (i.e., interventions grounded in research showing that it works). There are many psychotherapeutic approaches; we have been trained in a broad range. Some examples of evidence-based approaches that we use in our work are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Schema Therapy (ST), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT).
Here are common problems people come to see us for:
- Sadness/Depression/Mood Disorders
- Anxiety and Specific Phobias (fears)
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Panic (anxiety) Attacks
- Complex Trauma Histories and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
- Interpersonal (Social Relationships) Problems
- Behavior Problems
Psychological Assessment
Some of the common issues people request a psychological evaluation from us for include:
- ADHD/ADD
- Intellectual Giftedness
- Learning and Academic Problems
- Developmental Disabilities (e.g., Autism, Intellectual Disability, etc.)
- Personality Functioning
- Diagnostic Clarification
- Functional abilitties related to work duties (i.e., pre-employment; fitness for duty)
Psychological assessment can also be a useful tool in treatment planning and therapy. In this regard, we use Therapeutic Assessment at times in our work with therapy clients.
What to expect: Psychological assessment will involve you in many “activities” that take place over several hours. These activities include participating in a clinical interview, and completion of standardized testing and questionnaires. Our process also involves, when appropriate, observation of behavior, and at times a review of previous treatment and assessment records. At the end of the process, unless the evaluation is sub-contactor through your employer as is the case with pre-employment and fitness for duty evaluations, we will review the results with you and provide you with a written report that include our recommendations and when necessary, referrals for additional services.

Our training permits us to conduct various adult and juvenile criminal court-ordered, prosecution, or defense attorney-sought evaluations, provide psych-legal consultation services, and act as expert witnesses.
