Evidence-based treatments we use

Our therapists draw from several trusted therapeutic approaches to support healing, clarity, and emotional wellbeing. Depending on your needs, your therapist may integrate:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps you understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can build healthier patterns and reduce distress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Supports you in noticing unhelpful thoughts, staying grounded in the present, and making choices based on your personal values.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Teaches skills for emotion regulation, grounding, communication, and managing overwhelming moments more calmly.

Solution-Focused Therapy

It focuses on your strengths, resources, and past successes, helping you recognize your capabilities. By building on what already works, you can take small, meaningful steps toward steady, lasting progress.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)

A structured trauma therapy that helps the brain process painful memories in a safe, controlled way without needing to retell every detail.

Integrated, Whole-Person Care

We thoughtfully combine these approaches to align with your goals, respect your pace, and provide support that feels safe and responsive to your nervous system.

Frequently asked questions

Do parents have access to what their teen shares in therapy?

Therapy is confidential. We protect the privacy of teens and young adults to build trust and safety. We may involve parents when it benefits the client, but only with the client’s consent, unless safety concerns require otherwise.

What if my teen/young adult doesn’t want to go to therapy?

That’s very common. We work gently, not forcefully. Sometimes simply starting with a low-pressure consultation helps young people warm up to therapy at their own pace.

Can therapy help if my teen/young adult isn’t sure what’s wrong?

Absolutely. They don’t need a diagnosis or a clear “reason” to start therapy. Many clients begin with, “I don’t know, I just don’t feel like myself lately.”

Does therapy happen in person or online?

Both options are available. Teens and young adults can attend in person in Campbell, CA, or via secure telehealth from anywhere in California.
