The Essential Team
Authentic, Inspiring, Wise, Experienced
Our clinicians and support professionals inspire the wisdom, confidence, and radical realizations that can help you get unstuck, overcome obstacles, and unlock your authentic potential.
​
While we are trained in evidence based therapies, we realize that long-lasting change can only occur when an individual feels comfortable, connected and calm enough to witness their own inner wisdom. By taking the time to help you feel more comfortable with yourself and others in a safe, judgement-free environment, we are better able to provide you with the custom tools and techniques to get you to the next level or path on your journey.

Services
Beyond traditional counseling and therapy, are Essential Counseling and Therapeutic Services
Individualized Therapy
Weekly individual therapy sessions have demonstrated significant effectiveness in achieving both short-term and long-term objectives.
With our expertise in DBT, ACT, and CBT, we are able to specifically tailor our approach to address the needs of neurodiverse minds, specifically those with Autism, ADHD, and the Twice Exceptional.
Additionally, we offer EMDR and ERP, both highly effective in addressing phobias, fears, obsessions, compulsions, and OCD.
Groups
We offer an array of social group, clubs and courses to meet the various personalities and cognitive levels of those we serve. See our full listing of groups listed above.
​
Adaptive Therapies
We provide Independent Skills Training and Therapeutic Support both at home and in the community, utilizing services covered by certain insurance plans. Additionally, we offer Parent and Caregiver Training as needed, emphasizing the importance of Self-Care.
