Our Services

Clinical Mental Health Assessments

We offer comprehensive clinical mental health assessments to evaluate emotional, psychological, and behavioral concerns.

Assessments include a review of presenting symptoms, mental health history, psychosocial functioning, and current clinical needs. Findings are used to establish diagnostic impressions when appropriate and develop individualized treatment recommendations.

Individual Mental Health Therapy

We provide individualized mental health therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, life transitions, and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

Our therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Treatment focuses on developing effective coping strategies, improving emotional functioning, and supporting meaningful personal growth.

Court-Ordered Co-Occurring Disorders Evaluations

We provide comprehensive clinical evaluations for individuals referred by courts, attorneys, probation officers, or other legal professionals requiring an assessment of potential mental health and substance use disorders.

Evaluations include a review of substance use history, mental health symptoms, psychosocial functioning, and relevant clinical risk factors.

A written clinical report may include diagnostic impressions, assessment findings, and individualized treatment recommendations based on the evaluation.

Our approach emphasizes objective clinical findings, professional assessment standards, and appropriate treatment recommendations.
