Does the jargon confuse you? What is therapy like, for real?
Let’s break it down. Take a moment to see what services we offer and what these terms really mean.
Individual Therapy
Is a confidential, one-on-one space to slow down, be honest about what you’re carrying, and get support that’s tailored to you. Together with your therapist, you’ll explore your story, what’s working, what’s not, and what you want life to feel like.
Couples Therapy
Is a protected space to slow down, listen, and reconnect as you map patterns (miscommunication, recurring conflict, distance, stress from parenting or health, etc) and practice new ways to speak, hear, and repair so you feel like a team again. All couples welcome.
Family Therapy
Is a space to slow down and reconnect as you map familiar family patterns and practice new ways to speak, listen, and solve problems so home feels safer and more connected. All family constructs are welcome.
Children/Teen Therapy
Is an age-appropriate, confidential space to make sense of big feelings and tough moments, like anxiety or low mood, school stress, friendship/identity questions, family changes, grief, medical stress, or neurodiversity-related challenges. The goal is to help young people name what they feel, build coping and communication skills, and feel more confident and connected at home, at school, and with peers.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
Helps the brain reprocess painful or overwhelming experiences so they feel less charged. It’s often used for single-incident or ongoing trauma, medical stress, anxiety, grief, and phobias.
What sessions look like: we start with history-taking and “resourcing” (grounding skills, safe/calm place) to ensure stability. When you’re ready, we target specific memories, images, or body sensations and use gentle bilateral stimulation—eye movements, tapping, or tones—to support your nervous system in completing its natural healing process.
Mehak, Rachael, Jane, Kristen, and Amanda are all trained in EMDR.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
Is an approach that helps couples, families, and individuals understand the negative cycles that keep them stuck, (repeated arguments, distance, reactivity, or lingering hurts) and replace them with patterns of safety, responsiveness, and closeness. By tuning into the emotions and needs underneath the conflict, EFT helps you move from defending to connecting, rebuilding trust and strengthening your bond.
Our approach is collaborative, inclusive, and LGBTQ+ affirming; all relationships and family constellations welcome.
Julia, Amanda, Kristen, Rachael, and Magdalen are all trained in EFT and many of our therapists utilize it in their work.
Premarital Therapy
Helps you build a strong foundation before the wedding by clarifying expectations, strengthening communication, and practicing repair so you have tools for real life. You will explore core areas that predict long-term health (how you handle conflict and stress, share money and household roles, nurture intimacy and sex, relate to families/in-laws, align values) and imagine parenting or a child-free future.
Perinatal/Postpartum Therapy
Offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for the tender stretch from trying to conceive through pregnancy, birth, and the first years of parenting. We address postpartum depression and anxiety, feelings like sadness, overwhelm, irritability or rage, racing thoughts, panic, intrusive thoughts, guilt, or numbness, as well as birth or NICU trauma, feeding/sleep challenges, identity shifts, relationship strain, fertility losses, and medical stress. Please note you don’t have to be in crisis to come. If you’re unsure whether what you’re feeling is “normal,” we can figure it out together.
Mehak, Jane, Amanda, Andrea, Elissa, Amina, Tera, Sierra, and Kira all have a special interest in perinatal mental health.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
A gentle, evidence-informed “parts” approach. It assumes we all have different parts, like an inner critic, achiever, people-pleaser, or numbing part, and a core self that’s calm, curious, and compassionate. When life is hard, our parts take on extreme roles to protect us. In IFS we help those parts feel seen and less burdened, creating more balance, choice, and relief. This work can support trauma healing as well as anxiety, depression, burnout, parenting/relationship stress, and medical challenges.
Kira and Jane are trained in IFS and many of our therapists utilize it in their work.
