Individual Counseling and Therapy Services for Adults
Therapy for Adult ADHD
Life is complicated. ADHD can make managing all the details harder. A few key strategies can get you back on track, and let your ADHD superpowers shine. Our expert neurodiversity affirming therapists will show you how, in person or online.
Therapy for adult ADHD also often includes healing from the guilt and shame you experienced before you were diagnosed.
Therapy for Life Transitions
You want to strengthen a relationship, but don’t know what to say or do. A major life change or new diagnosis just tossed your life upside down. You want your best self to shine, but keep getting stuck.
These moments are significant opportunities for growth. Attending therapy during these times can help you process grief and loss. Heal from trauma. Cope with intense emotions. Set new boundaries. And decide what comes next.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
Be who you are. Love who you love. Parent who you have. This is the recipe for a mentally healthy family life. For everyone. But it only works if we affirm the identities of our LGBTQIA+ family members. If you are struggling to find family support or to understand your LGBTQIA+ child, we can help.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) for Anxiety
CBT is an evidence based practice for treating anxiety, depression, stress, and more. The goal of CBT is to build your awareness of your automatic thoughts and feelings, and the behaviors that stem from them. Your warm, nonjudgmental therapist will guide you through. CBT can be useful for situations where you find yourself reacting rather than responding, or spiraling into distress.
Doesn’t sound like a fit? That’s ok! Anxiety can be treated in many other ways as well. Keep scrolling down to see more options.
Art Therapy
You’re searching for your center, your strengths, your hopes and dreams. Art Therapy can help. You don’t have to be an artist! It isn’t about creating a masterpiece. It’s about revealing insights you might not express in words. Your Licensed Art Therapist can guide you through the process of healing past hurts and visualizing the future you want for yourself. Art therapy can also help neurodivergent adults learn to plan and organize tasks and time more effectively.
Help for Parenting Burnout
You’re not sure you can do this anymore. You imagine flying away to another life. One that isn’t about everyone else’s needs. Or at least one where you aren’t responsible for everything. It feels like nobody’s listening to you. Or helping you. And you’re DONE.
Parenting can take over your identity, making it hard to remember who you once were. We’ll help you find yourself again. Without having to move to Bora Bora and leave your family behind.
Counseling Services for Families, Parents, and Couples
Family Therapy
Whether you’re 14, 40, or 84, an expert family therapist can help.
Conflict is normal. But when you aren’t having any fun together or start avoiding each other to get some peace, it’s time for change. Family counseling can help you communicate clearly, set boundaries and expectations, and understand each other better. At any age.
Parenting Support
Why doesn’t my child listen to me?! Parent support sessions can add tools to your parenting toolbox. Our supportive, nonjudgmental counselors will help you solve the parenting challenges you’re facing now, and become the parent you hope to be.
SPACE Treatment for Child Anxiety
Why is this on the Adult Services page? Because it’s the parent, not the child who attends SPACE therapy sessions. SPACE Treatment is about changing the way you handle living with an anxious child. Which in turn creates a change in your child. Parents who attend sessions with our expert SPACE therapists find themselves growing. And feeling more confident in their parenting skills. That’s right. SPACE benefits you, too.
Couples Therapy / Marriage Counseling
Our licensed Couples Therapists help couples reconnect, resolve conflicts, and heal from past hurts. You’ll meet the therapist together to make sure it’s the right fit for all partners before you start. (Poly and non-married partners included.) Our expertise in neurodiversity affirming therapy prepares us to heal relationships in which one or more partners identify as neurodivergent.
