In our practice patients are included as part of the treatment team. We encourage people to ask questions and make suggestions. We want to hear your opinion. We also know therapy can be expensive therefore we have a sliding fee scale for those who need it. We also accept most insurance. In our practice we also serve as expert witnesses and 730 Experts. Our goal is to help make a difficult time easier and to help you make the changes that you want in your life. We offer traditional therapy for adults and teens and play therapy for children.
