Individual Therapy
One-on-one counseling focused on identifying and achieving concrete goals. This is where we hone in on what is challenging you in your everyday life and help find specific skills that you can use to feel better quickly and consistently. Sometimes we supplement this with phone coaching so that you can have help applying these skills even when you are outside of the office.
Because we recognize that parents are the “hub of the wheel” for the youth in their life, our work with adolescents always incorporates work with parents/caretakers. Having a youth in your home who is struggling with out-of-control emotions can be incredibly challenging and taxing on the whole family. We recognize that caretakers need support to provide the best possible conditions for youth to develop new skills and change their behaviors.

Professional Consultation
We offer consultation for professionals in the mental health or medical field who are challenged by specific cases related to our areas of expertise. We also offer assistance with developing LGBTQ+-friendly programs, connecting to reliable training resources, and adjusting your practice to better meet the needs of marginalized clients.
Professional Trainings
We offer dynamic, interactive seminars on a variety of topics related to our areas of expertise. Our approach is humorous and accessible while also challenging those who work in our field to change and grow in order to better serve highly challenging clients and clients who experience marginalization. Our training philosophy is that we develop and grow through experience and conscious behavior change, rather than through exposure to information; we provide facts and figures, but we emphasize concrete tools for growth and change. We are also available for ongoing mentoring to assist organizations in maintaining their commitment to change.
