Who We Help

We Specialize in Helping People Recover from Complex, Difficult Problems

At the Center for Effective Treatment, we specialize in helping individuals overcome complex and difficult challenges. With extensive experience working with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families, we employ an innovative and experiential approach that empowers clients to take control of their healing journey. We utilize experience-based therapy with our patients so they receive the most effective and holistic form of care possible.

We specialize in, but are not limited to, the following areas of therapy:

Complex Trauma Therapy

Our trauma therapy focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where individuals can fully process and heal from past traumatic experiences. Through a variety of evidence-based techniques, we help our patients reclaim their sense of safety and empower them to move forward with resilience, strength, and confidence.

Intense Emotions and Personality Disorder Therapy

We understand that dealing with intense, uncontrollable emotions can not only be overwhelming, but can wreak havoc on every area of life—from interpersonal relationships, your relationship with yourself, and even your professional life. We specialize in treating a range of personality disorders, including but not limited to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD), Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and more. Our compassionate, science backed approach aims to help our clients understand their symptoms so they can develop healthy coping strategies.

Substance Abuse & Addiction Therapy

Anyone can develop a problematic relationship with drugs or alcohol. Oftentimes, people abuse substances as a way of self-medicating other issues like anxiety, depression, the pressures of a demanding job, or something else entirely. Our addiction and substance abuse therapy services are specifically designed to help you wherever you are on your journey towards recovery from substance abuse and addictive behaviors. Whether you need support managing your substance use or you’re looking to stop it all together, we have the experience and expertise to help.

Suicide and Self Harm Therapy

Many people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm battle day-in and day-out with feelings of hopelessness and loneliness. We are here to let you know that you are not alone. At The Center for Effective Treatment, we create a safe haven for individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors so they can explore their feelings of pain in healthier ways. We can give you the guidance you need to manage these intense emotions so you can create new patterns that are conducive to creating a life for yourself that’s full of meaning and happiness.

Anxiety and Depression Therapy

Whether you're wrestling with overwhelming worry, navigating through depression, or finding yourself caught in a mix of both, we are here to provide you with the practical tools, genuine support, and validation you need to navigate through them.

Family and Adolescent Crisis Therapy

We offer specialized therapy services for families and adolescents facing crisis situations. Our therapists work together with families to address communication breakdowns, resolve conflicts, and strengthen interpersonal relationships.

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides a supportive, validating environment for individuals to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. Led by our experienced team of therapists, our group sessions offer great opportunities for our patients to experience mutual support and encouragement throughout their mental health journeys.
