Recovery modalities for every mind

Personalized, evidence-based care for every recovery.

We offer a diverse range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet you where you are. Because healing is not one-size-fits-all.

Our telehealth-based approach removes barriers like stigma, transportation, and scheduling conflicts, ensuring compassionate, clinically-robust care is accessible to all. Whether you're navigating substance use, co-occurring mental health challenges, or neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences), we adapt to your unique needs with dignity and expertise.

Cognitive & behavioral therapies.

Structured, evidence-based approaches for identifying and reshaping thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors.

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility and align your actions with your personal values. Rather than fighting against difficult thoughts or feelings, ACT teaches you to acknowledge them while still moving toward what matters most to you.

Particularly effective for those stuck in patterns of avoidance or struggling with persistent negative thoughts.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is a cornerstone of our approach. It focuses on identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns that contribute to substance use and mental health challenges.

You will learn to recognize harmful thinking patterns, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop healthier coping strategies. Practical tools that apply immediately in daily life.

DBT

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT builds emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills essential for recovery. Combines acceptance and change strategies. Teaches you how to manage intense emotions, work through relationships, and develop mindfulness.

REBT

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

REBT challenges irrational beliefs to foster healthier emotions and behaviors. Identifies self-defeating thoughts and replaces them with more rational, constructive patterns.

By addressing the root beliefs that drive unhealthy behaviors, REBT empowers you to respond to challenges with greater resilience.

Trauma & somatic therapies.

Recognizing that trauma often underlies substance use, we offer specialized approaches to address the deeper wounds.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR processes traumatic memories to reduce their emotional impact, allowing you to heal from past experiences that may be driving current behaviors. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps your brain process stuck memories in a way that diminishes their power.

Our certified EMDR practitioners create a safe environment where you can address trauma without becoming overwhelmed.

TRAUMA

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Our trauma-focused approaches address PTSD and complex trauma in a safe, structured way that respects your pace and boundaries.

Our clinicians help you process traumatic experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of safety and control in your life.

IFS

Internal Family Systems

IFS works with the inner world to heal emotional wounds, recognizing that we all contain different aspects of ourselves that may be in conflict. This compassionate approach helps you identify and understand the protective functions of behaviors that might otherwise seem self-sabotaging.

By fostering internal harmony and self-leadership, IFS supports sustainable recovery that honors your whole self.

Humanistic & holistic approaches.

Person-centered work that explores meaning, self-acceptance, and the deeper questions that often arise during recovery.

PC

Person-Centered Therapy

Person-centered therapy empowers you to lead your healing, with the therapist serving as a supportive guide rather than an authority figure. Founded on genuine respect for your wisdom about your own life.

By fostering self-acceptance and authentic self-expression, it helps you develop greater trust in your own capacity for positive change.

EXIST

Existential Therapy

Existential therapy explores meaning, freedom, and self-determination, addressing the deeper questions that often arise during recovery. Helps you confront concerns about purpose, choice, and responsibility.

By examining your values and what gives your life significance, existential therapy provides a philosophical foundation for lasting recovery.

MBCT

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy, teaching you to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Regular mindfulness practice builds the mental muscles needed to respond to challenges with intention rather than automatic reactions.

CFT

Compassion-Focused Therapy

Compassion-focused therapy cultivates self-compassion to counteract shame and self-criticism that often fuel substance use. Helps you develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.

By activating your brain's caregiving system, it creates neurological changes that support emotional regulation and resilience.

Culturally sensitive & integrative models.

Our diverse approaches honor your unique background and combine techniques for maximum effectiveness.

CULT

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Honors diverse backgrounds and identities, recognizing that cultural context significantly influences how you experience mental health and substance use challenges.

Our clinicians are trained to understand how cultural factors shape beliefs about health, help-seeking, and recovery. Your treatment plan respects your cultural values and experiences.

ECL

Eclectic Therapy

Blends techniques from multiple modalities for a customized plan that addresses your specific needs. Rather than adhering to a single approach, our clinicians draw from various evidence-based methods.

This flexible approach adapts as your needs change, ensuring that your care remains relevant and effective.

MI

Motivational Interviewing

Enhances motivation for positive change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. This collaborative approach helps you identify your own reasons for change.

Our clinicians use MI to help you clarify your values and goals, strengthening your commitment to recovery in a way that feels authentic and self-directed.

Additional healing modalities.

Specialized approaches for interpersonal patterns, unconscious drivers, and present-focused problem-solving.

IPT

Interpersonal Therapy

Focuses on improving relationships and communication patterns to address mental health challenges and substance use disorders. Emphasizes how your current relationships affect your emotional wellbeing.

Particularly effective for those whose substance use is connected to relationship difficulties, grief, role transitions, or social isolation.

PSY

Psychodynamic Therapy

Explores how unconscious patterns and past experiences influence your current behaviors, emotions, and relationships. This insight-oriented approach helps you understand the underlying emotional drivers of substance use.

Particularly valuable for those with complex trauma histories or those who have found that addressing only the symptoms hasn't led to sustainable recovery.

RT

Reality Therapy

Focuses on present choices and behaviors rather than past experiences, empowering you to take control of your recovery. Based on Choice Theory by Dr. William Glasser.

Helps you identify your basic psychological needs (survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, fun) and develop more effective ways to fulfill them without substances.

Specialized support for neurodivergent adults.

Neurodivergent individuals may experience substance use and mental health challenges differently. Traditional treatment approaches often don't address these unique needs. Our clinicians are trained to adapt.

Our telehealth platform offers advantages for many neurodivergent clients, allowing therapy to take place in familiar, comfortable environments with fewer sensory challenges than traditional office settings.

SP

Structured yet flexible session pacing

We recognize that processing information and emotions may require different timing for neurodivergent individuals.

Sessions can be adjusted to provide more breaks, shorter durations, or alternative scheduling to accommodate executive functioning differences and energy management needs.

CT

Visual aids & alternative communication

We offer communication options beyond traditional talk therapy: visual supports, written exchanges, and technology-assisted communication.

These adaptations ensure you can express yourself fully and process information in ways that work best for your cognitive style.

SENS

Sensory-friendly virtual settings

Our telehealth platform lets you control your sensory environment during sessions, minimizing distractions and overload that might interfere with in-person therapy.

We provide guidance on optimal settings and can adjust our own presentation to accommodate sensory sensitivities.

STR

Collaborative goal-setting

We recognize and celebrate neurodivergent strengths: pattern recognition, hyperfocus, creative thinking, unique perspectives.

Our treatment planning identifies and uses these strengths while providing support for challenges. Growth without pathologizing neurological differences.

Whether you're navigating co-occurring addiction, anxiety, or burnout, we're committed to providing care that respects your neurotype. Because everyone deserves a recovery path that works for them.
