Evidence-Based Psychological Practice.
Do you imagine yourself living a more effective life? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, you keep getting stuck in the same patterns and routine? Are you struggling with overcoming a traumatic event or feeling sad all the time? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life, on your own, and realized you need help from someone else? Have you used countless strategies, self-help books, and other seminars to help you change?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by seeking help. I know this is hard. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years. I’m so glad you found me and have taken the courageous step of being here.

Life is stressful and demanding, providing us all with challenges along the way. Our team of psychologists and consultants have the expertise to provide you with the help, support, or direction you need. Please feel free to call or email to receive more information or set up your first appointment.

COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)

The Center for Integrated Behavioral Health specializes in providing cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy (CBT), a goal focused, time limited, and research supported approach to emotional and behavioral difficulties. CBT is an active therapy, emphasizing the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and maladaptive behavior patterns impacting overall health and well-being. Widely considered the most effective treatment for common difficulties such as anxiety and depression, CBT emphasizes coping skills, between session homework, and active change strategies.

COUPLES AND MARITAL THERAPY

We help couples improve their relationships by assessing strengths and weaknesses. Therapy helps explore areas that are hindering connection and assists in developing important skills needed to develop a deeper connectedness. In addition, we treat individuals where trust has been broken and infidelities have occurred.

GROUP THERAPY

The Center for Integrated Behavioral Health offers group therapy options based on evidence-based models of treatment. Group therapy is a powerful venue for growth and change as participants not only learn valuable skills but gain insight and support from others experiencing similar difficulties. From an integrated health perspective, our practice seeks to offer various pathways to health and well-being. Groups will be designed based on need and specialty of clinicians. Group therapy is often used as an adjunct to individual treatment or a stand alone therapy.
