Therapy Services
Therapy is a safe and supportive space for healing, growth, and connection. It is a collaborative process - while there are no magic cures, your therapist will bring their expertise on treatment to your expertise on your life to help you better understand yourself, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. Whether you are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, parenting challenges, or relationship difficulties, therapy offers a supportive space to build insight, develop effective coping tools, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.
Our practice provides therapy through a person-centered, socially conscious lens that recognizes the impact of both personal experiences and larger systems on emotional wellbeing. We integrate trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches that are supported by research to help clients increase psychological flexibility, improve emotional regulation, and build healthier patterns of connection with themselves and others.
At Songbird Psychological Services, we offer therapy services for children, individual adults, couples, and families. Read on for more details on each service:
-
Individual therapy provides a one-on-one space to slow down, reflect, and work through the challenges that may be interfering with daily life. Treatment may focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, perfectionism, identity development, executive functioning, emotional dysregulation, grief, or major life transitions. Together, we identify patterns that are no longer serving you and build practical, values-based strategies for change that are supported by research.
-
Children often communicate distress through behavior, emotions, and relationships rather than words alone. Child therapy helps children develop emotional awareness, coping skills, social confidence, and problem-solving abilities in a safe and developmentally supportive environment. We work closely with caregivers to strengthen understanding and support lasting growth across home and school settings. Child therapy services are available at Songbird Psychological Services for age 7+.
For school aged children, you can expect services for your child to incorporate play therapy appropriate to their developmental level in combination with regularly occurring parent consultation sessions as appropriate.
For adolescent children, you can expect services to include a combination of play and/or talk therapy appropriate to their developmental level and preferences. Parent consultations are available and are a right fit for some families with adolescents, while other families prefer to leave therapeutic services as a fully separate space for their child.
-
Relationships can become strained when communication breaks down, conflict becomes repetitive, or life stressors create distance. Cultural factors, sociopolitical influences, spiritual/religious issues, or trauma history may additionally contribute to disconnection. Couples therapy can help partners understand the patterns shaping their relationship, identify strengths, improve communication, deepen emotional connection, and work toward healthier, more effective ways of navigating challenges together. At Songbird Psychological Services, we take an approach to couples therapy that integrates the work and research of the Gottman Approach (Drs. Gottman) and Hope-Focused Approach (Drs. Everett and Ripley).
-
Families function as interconnected systems, meaning the entire family unit is often impacted by one another’s challenges. Family therapy focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict, clarifying roles, and strengthening attachment and support within the family. Treatment helps families move from cycles of misunderstanding and reactivity toward greater stability, trust, and connection.
Family therapy services are available for families in which all participating members are adults or adolescents age 13+. Trauma-informed parent consultation is also available to families navigating trauma-recovery, foster care, guardianship, or adoption issues.
-
Group therapy offers a supportive space for children, adolescents, or adults with similar challenges or who are working towards similar goals. There are two main types of groups, process groups and skills groups. In a process group, you can expect to gather with other adolescents or adults facing similar challenges (i.e., grief, health conditions, high support-needs parenting). Your therapist will facilitate a space for participants to share openly about their personal experiences, process emotions, and explore interpersonal dynamics. In a skills group, you can expect to gather with other children, adolescents, or adults to work through a particular curriculum to learn specific applicable skills. This may occur through a game-based format or may function similarly to a workshop or class.
Psychological Assessment
Psychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation process used to better understand cognitive, emotional, behavioral, developmental, academic, and personality functioning. Assessments provide clarity when there are questions about diagnoses, learning differences, neurodevelopmental concerns, emotional challenges, or treatment planning needs. At Songbird Psychological Services we view psychological assessment as a powerful tool for self-understanding and advocacy. Assessments are available for adults and children aged 6+.
Our practice offers thorough, individualized evaluations that combine clinical interviews, standardized testing, behavioral observations, and collateral information to create a full picture of strengths and areas of need. Assessments may address concerns related to autism, ADHD, learning disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, personality functioning, diagnostic clarification, and recommendations for school, work, or therapeutic support.
The goal of assessment is not simply to collaboratively identify the best-fit diagnosis, but to provide meaningful insight and practical recommendations that guide next steps for treatment, accommodations, and long-term support.
While we aim to incorporate elements of therapeutic assessment into all of our standard assessments, full, extended assessments following Dr. Stephen Finn’s Therapeutic Assessment model are also available. This highly collaborative process between you and your evaluator utilizes psychological assessment to broaden your understanding of problems you face in your life and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values. While Therapeutic Assessment may often result in diagnoses and treatment recommendations, the primary driving goal is to help you (or your child) change positively in areas you identify.
