The therapy team uses a range of evidence-based modalities: CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, EMDR, sand tray, and Cogmed attentional training.

Appointments are requested through the practice's website contact form or Psychology Today profiles; no fee schedule or wait-time information is posted publicly. Evaluations conclude with practical written recommendations for treatment and educational supports.
