- Our evidence-based approaches to care
Couples/Marriage Therapy
Couples therapy is a specialized type of therapy that you and your partner attend together. Therapists trained in interpersonal dynamics work with couples to approach their conflict as a team, rather than coexisting in an adverserial relationship. Although couples often begin therapy together because they are experiencing a great deal of conflict, couples therapy can also be extremely useful for healthy couples hoping to improve their communication, work through family challenges (e.g. raising small children, dealing with the death of a parent), or deal with sexual or intimacy issues.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is an umbrella term for any therapy that happens between one person and their chosen therapist. It is the most common type of therapy, and includes all modalities of therapy (e.g. CBT, interpersonal therapy, insight-oriented therapy, EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, etc.). Individual therapy often helps people approach challenging times of their lives with a supportive and trained clinician, making life's hurdles a little more manageable. Your individual therapist will listen closely to you, may provide some suggestions or homework between sessions, and will try to help you make the choices that are right for you.
Family Therapy
Family therapy happens between two or more members of a family, and can take on many forms. Parents and teen or adult children, adult siblings, and any combination of people within a family, can find it helpful to work through conflict with a professional therapist. The therapist often takes on the role of "listening assistant," helping each party accurately and clearly hear the messages that other family members are trying to communicate. If you are having conflict with somebody in your family, family therapy may help.
