Adjunct & Specialty Services

Available in Washington, D.C., Maryland, & Virginia

Adjunct therapies can provide a targeted way to bridge a gap in skills or springboard therapeutic movement to aid progress in meeting therapeutic goals. We utilize insurance to the extent possible and offer self-pay options as needed. Adjunct therapies are done while clients are seen in their primary individual, family or couple therapy, whereas specialty assessments are often done as an independent, stand-alone service. Services include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

Do you want direct, actionable solutions for specific emotional or behavioral bottlenecks?
Are specific trauma triggers or panic responses creating constant friction in your daily life or relationships?

We're here for you, every step of the way.
