What are your clients like? Are they like me?
We accept clients ages 14 and older. Many of our clients have concerns related to life stressors, relationships, boundary setting, pervasive overthinking, death of an important person in their life, loss of a job or home, and other similar concerns. Please keep in mind, in order to qualify for therapy services, we must conclude that your concerns have what we call clinical relevance, meaning that your everyday life is impaired in some way.

Do you offer crisis services?
No. We are not equipped to provide crisis intervention. Clients who are experiencing a mental health emergency should call the new Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or their local crisis services number, which will depend on geographic location. Delaware residents can plan ahead for crises by reviewing and bookmarking this page. Pennsylvania residents should bookmark this page, Maryland residents this page, and New Jersey residents this page.
Do you treat all concerns? What about eating disorders, serious mental illness (SMI), or addition treatment?
Generally, we can treat many different kinds of clinical issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, adjustment disorders, and more. There are some areas where we feel it is best to seek out a specialist. Some of these areas include:
-
Serious mental illness - diagnoses such as psychotic disorders and personality disorders
-
Eating disorders - diagnoses such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, severe restrictive eating
-
Active addiction - those who are currently chemically dependent on alcohol, nicotine, or other substances
At times, we can help with the emotional concerns around some of these issues. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us for a free 15-minute consult and we can help determine if our services are right for you, or whether you may benefit from a referral elsewhere to begin.
