Led by a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist with 25+ years of experience. Specialized treatment for mood disorders, anxiety, and behavioral health.
Individual therapy is focused, structured, and tailored to your specific situation.
NOTE: Sessions are offered via secure telehealth, allowing for flexibility and consistency.
Empathy and collaboration are core elements of effective treatment. We work together to develop a plan that starts forward momentum immediately with behavior change. That is the quickest way to experience a sense of success, and we build from there.
Any life transformation includes behavior change. That requires a commitment to make changes in your daily life outside the therapy hour. We start with small steps that you can achieve, and follow these guiding principles:
Action precedes motivation
Do one thing
Small changes, BIG impact
Intensive care when you need it most. Flexible scheduling and extended sessions designed for breakthrough change.
The extra 15 minutes is 30% more time than a conventional therapy session. The longer session is a more efficient way to make progress and give your concerns the full attention they deserve.
The conventional therapy approach is once per week. HOWEVER, for clients with an urgent need to make progress, starting with a higher frequency of sessions (2x/wk) can help you jump-start the process and get unstuck more quickly. I call it frontloading.
Yes, it is a greater time commitment and more costly in the near term. AND, frontloading is a more time-efficient (and cost-efficient) approach to meet the urgency of making meaningful changes in your life.
If you are on meds, I work with your psychiatrist or NP to coordinate your care and monitor your progress.
There is not one method that works for everyone. Flexibility is important. The aim is to match the treatment to the problems and challenges in your unique life circumstances.
Treatment recommendations make it a priority to mobilize you quickly toward positive change. Your feedback is essential for therapy to be most effective.
Weekly sessions or frontloading for higher intensity treatment to meet the urgency
Frontloading at the beginning of treatment and then tapering to weekly sessions as you make progress
Or, keep the high frequency of sessions to maximize the positive impact of the therapy
Add brief phone check-ins (15 minutes) in between full sessions
Family includes parents, spouse, partner, siblings, extended family, and even close friends. I see this as your “family community” of people who love and care about you.
In certain situations, with your permission, it may be helpful to involve your family in your treatment. The aim is for them to support you during your journey to make meaningful life changes. Family involvement focuses on practical ways they can support you:
Education about your condition and treatment
Supporting your efforts to change behaviors and habits
Facilitating healthy communication
Setting boundaries among family members
Recommendations on do’s and don’ts
This is not a high-volume practice. Dr. Ed works with a limited number of clients at a time to provide focused, individualized care — especially for those dealing with complex or hard-to-treat conditions. The goal is not ongoing therapy without direction, but meaningful progress and forward movement.
The first step of the journey is an evaluation focused on understanding your situation and building a treatment approach tailored to you.
Therapy sessions are 60 minutes (not the “45-minute hour”). The longer session is a more efficient way to make progress and give your concerns the full attention they deserve.
Therapy requires an investment of time, money, and emotional effort. The aim is for you to get high value for the money you are paying.
If you have tried therapy before and are still stuck, this is the conversation you should have had a long time ago. Dr. Ed personally responds to every inquiry. One message is all it takes to start moving forward.
