Treatments

Group Therapy / Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Group therapy is offered as part of our intensive outpatient program (IOP). We offer groups for college students geared to their experience and with professionals who understand the unique needs and issues of college students. Group offers a chance to get multiple perspectives on your issues, hear opinions and ideas from people who have been in similar situations to yourself, and gives the chance to get feedback about how you come across in social interactions in a way that is very helpful for life outside the therapy room.
The General Group track offers skill building for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, relationship skills, assertiveness, boundary setting, relaxation/ mindfulness and information about how trauma impacts people and how to mitigate these effects. The Eating Disorder Group track offers similar information as the General Group as well as helpful information about Health At Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating approaches to eating disorder treatment, allows clients to explore the reasons their eating disorder developed and how to replace their eating disorder with healthier coping mechanisms, body image improvement skills and therapeutic meal groups to help improve your relationship with food.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy work is a critical component of improving self-awareness and mental health. Our individual counseling approaches help people change and improve their communication styles, reduce conflict, negotiate priorities, identify dysfunctional relationship patterns, and identify attachment styles and patterns that are contributing to problems in their relationships and in how they approach the world. Counseling can be helpful to prevent problems, help them not get bigger and in some cases, help heal from longstanding concerns.
