We support clients who have experienced abuse or trauma by using proven cognitive-behavioral therapy strategies and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Grief and Loss
Coping with the loss of a loved one or a job can be one of life's more difficult challenges. We have extensive experience helping our clients work through the natural feelings that are a part of grief and loss. We help clients to develop avenues of meaning from the loss and to stay connected to that meaning in the future. Anger Management
We all experience situations where we feel angry, as children, teens or adults. Understanding how we express anger is critical in how we relate to others and how we feel about ourselves. We teach our clients to devise effective and healthy strategies in coping with anger and utilizing these techniques over time. Stress Management Strategies
The demands of life can often become overwhelming. We have experience in teaching our clients relaxation exercises and visualization techniques to help cope with life stress. We help clients explore options for managing stress in more mindful, manageable and positive ways. Geriatrics

The process of obtaining citizenship can be a difficult one, especially for clients who have significant psychological challenges and who are not literate in either English or their native language. We offer psychological evaluations for clients who may qualify for a waiver for the citizenship test. We work with attorneys to provide these evaluations in a timely manner. Cross-cultural diversity
Understanding the issues facing clients from different parts of the world is of great importance. Our group has a keen awareness of the challenges facing clients who may not speak English fluently and are adjusting to life in the United States. The value that people bring from a variety of cultures into the United States is a consistent part of our therapeutic approach.
