We believe preventive and personalized care are essential in maintaining and optimizing our well-being. Taking good care of our mental health requires regular check-ins, similar to those we have with our dentist or other primary medical providers (e.g., primary care doctor, optometrist, dermatologist).
Rather than focusing on treating those who are in crisis or significant distress (though we are here for all), PTG aims to become your trusted, primary mental health care provider.
Our practice offers semi-annual Mental Wellness Visits, which include:
Our clinicians work with clients in short- and long-term therapy to address various issues using individualized, research-based treatment approaches.
We typically meet with clients on a weekly (and sometimes twice-weekly) basis to explore their concerns, learn how to cope with difficulties, determine changes they want to make, and gain insight into repetitive patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
Since a strong alliance between client and therapist is key for therapy to be effective, we aim to create a trusting atmosphere where clients can talk about even the most painful parts of their experiences.
Couples therapy can be a tough, but helpful process in healing and improving relationships.
The most commonly reported issues among couples include areas of communication, trust, connection, intimacy, and impact of life transitions or events.
Weekly sessions, and sometimes less frequent “intensives” can be useful in identifying weak spots in relationships and determining how best to address them.
Ultimately, the goal of couples therapy is to agree on the problem(s), understand each partner’s contribution to the mutual concern(s), and decide the best way to move forward.
Group therapy is a wonderful way to receive support, learn more about oneself, and gain a better understanding of relationships with others.
It can be a primary mode of treatment, or can be used in conjunction with individual therapy. Group therapy (typically 6-8 people) can be effective for those struggling with things like loneliness, anxiety, depression, family conflict, or other relationship issues. Over time, group members often find themselves feeling more connected, relieved, and self-aware.
Please contact us about potential group opportunities, as they shift throughout the year.
Coaching is a service that is more focused on identifying goals and solutions rather than healing or self-exploration, which is the primary purpose of psychotherapy.
There are different types of coaches – life, health, parent, career – and each one tends to focus on accountability. Initially, meeting weekly is most effective in order to establish a clear plan with actionable strategies to implement along the way. From there, coaching sessions can be utilized 1-2x/month, or less frequently depending on needs.
Ultimately, coaching moves individuals from functioning at a baseline level to functioning optimally. For those interested in a more solution-oriented approach to achieving their goals, and having consistent guidance and encouragement to help them succeed, coaching can be a great option.
Clinical supervision, business consultation, and long-term mentorship opportunities are available for both licensed and pre-licensed therapists.
Folks who could be a good fit include those needing support around early career issues, building a successful private practice, working with high-achieving individuals, as well as treating anxiety and/or self-worth issues.
It is important to note that there is an emphasis placed on relational, culturally-sensitive, and developmentally appropriate approaches in both supervision and consultation contexts.
Workshops and presentations are available upon request. Sample topics might include:
Introduction to Private Practice. For advanced doctoral students (especially interns) and post-docs!
