Individual therapy is used to treat mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), Mood Disorder, PTSD, and spectrum disorders. It can also be very helpful for people undergoing major life transitions, grief/loss, or family/relationship issues.

Common therapies are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Exposure Based Therapy.  Our clinicians are trained in a variety of these treatment modalities.

A child’s age determines the developmental challenges he/she is faced with. Working through and mastering these challenges forms the basis for development. Children strive to progress through each stage, but often face unseen disruptions.  

Delayed progress leads to frustration between parents and children. The goal is to get children on track and to return them to normal development. We succeed by working with the child in individual therapy, but also maintaining close contact with the parents.

Proper medication management can significantly reduce mental health symptoms and improve quality of life. Medication is used to treat a wide range of mental health issues including: anxiety, depression, Mood Disorders, ADHD, schizophrenia, and insomnia.

Medical director Dr. M. Okasha, MD has been practicing for over 35 years, and has experience successfully treating a wide range of mental health issues. Megan Klein, CS, APRN are also a part of our medical team, both with a great deal of experience and expertise in the treatment of mental health.

Being in a relationship, whether new or with a good deal of history, comes with challenges. Couples counseling can help relationships heal. Very often, there are difficulties in communication between individuals in the relationship. This can leave partners feeling isolated, or resentful. Another common issue is that of equality and balance. These issues are complex, and couple’s often find themselves stuck in patterns of behavior which can drive them further apart. Couple’s counseling can help improve communication, especially with regards to important emotional experiences, in efforts to bridge the divide. CPC welcomes all couples to our practice, and we are LGBTQ friendly. 

Being a part of a family means being in close and oftentimes complicated relationships with family members. Family bonds can be incredible sources of strength, love, and resilience. At the same time, family relationships are complicated, and intense.

Family therapy offers a safe forum for members to come together and openly discuss issues that arise in the course of family life. Issues can range from substance abuse, divorce, loss, trauma, or sibling/parent conflict. Having an experienced therapist to guide family members throughout the process can be a valuable asset to strengthening family relationships.

Sometimes helping children means helping parents first. Even under the most stable of conditions, parenting can be an enormously challenging task. This challenge only becomes greater when families confront challenges due to unforeseen life events, physical or mental health issues, loss of family members or shifts in family structure.  While working with children through individual or family therapy can be beneficial, there are times where parental consultation can also prove highly effective.  At CPC, we offer parental consultation as either an addition to individual or family therapy, or as a stand alone service for those interested.

Group therapy provides a rich platform for positive change and emotional healing. Very often, groups are organized around a particular theme or population (i.e., substance use, trauma recovery). Groups are structured in order to allow for patients with similar experiences to become connected. Individuals with mental health issues often feel isolated with their problems. Groups allow for patients to experience first hand that they are not alone with their struggles. For many, this can be an incredibly supportive and eye opening experience.
