Our Services

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a one-on-one session between a person and a therapist to address personal challenges or mental health concerns. It provides a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, working toward insight and growth. Therapy can help with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles, offering tailored support for each individual’s needs.

Couples & Relationship Therapy

Couples therapy is a therapeutic process where two people work with a therapist to improve their relationship. It helps partners explore communication issues, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their emotional connection. The goal is to create healthier patterns in the relationship, address challenges like trust or intimacy, and promote mutual understanding.

Children & Adolescent Therapy

Children and adolescent therapy involves working with young individuals to address emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges. The therapist helps them express their feelings, build coping skills, and navigate difficulties like anxiety, depression, or family issues. The goal is to support healthy emotional development and improve overall well-being in a supportive, age-appropriate way.

Support & Process Groups

Support and process groups are therapy sessions where individuals with similar experiences come together to share, discuss, and support each other. These groups allow participants to process emotions, learn from others, and gain insight into their challenges in a safe, structured environment. The goal is to foster connection, reduce isolation, and promote personal growth through shared experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our providers are out-of-network with insurance. There are a few reasons for this:

Confidentiality & Privacy – Insurance companies require diagnoses and detailed treatment plans, which can limit privacy and may not align with the client’s needs.
Limited Control Over Treatment – Insurance providers often dictate the length and type of therapy covered, which can interfere with individualized care.
Lower Reimbursement Rates & Administrative Burden – Insurance reimbursement rates are often low, and the paperwork, claim denials, and billing processes can take away valuable time from client care.

Despite not accepting insurance, we strive to work with your budget and encourage you to talk to your therapist if you need assistance.

* Charlie Luther, LPC is an exception and is the only clinical in-network with some insurance plans. See his bio for more info.
