Our services
PSYCHO-SOCIAL EVALUATION
A comprehensive evaluation is needed to diagnose emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorders. The evaluation is the observation of presented behaviors and collection of information in relation to physical, genetic, environmental, social, cognitive (thinking), emotional, and educational functioning to diagnose and plan treatment.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a clinical social worker, psychologist or another mental health provider. During psychotherapy, you will learn about your condition and how it impacts your moods, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and strategies to manage them.
TELETHERAPY
Teletherapy is the provision of mental health services on a live, web-based platform. Our teletherapy services are on a HIPAA-approved platform that you can access from any smartphone or electronic device.
GROUP THERAPY
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves a therapist working with several people during a session. Currently, we are only offering group sessions on our teletherapy web-based platform.
