Exploring how exercise, nutrition and other aspects of wellness are important when considering the use of psychotropic medications which we include in our ongoing evaluation. Psychotherapy:Our providers use a combination of techniques, often in conjunction with medication management, to explore themes impacting individuals. We incorporate concepts of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, and trauma informed theory into our practice. We will predominantly offer individual therapy in conjunction with medication management, though may offer individual therapy alone on a case by case basis. Group therapy will be offered periodically for PTSD, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Emotional Freedom Therapy.
