Our Services
We provide in-person and online counseling services for individuals, families, and groups. We are an integrative practice using the lenses of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB), attachment theory, and polyvagal theory as the foundation of our work. Some of the specific approaches to therapy and parent education we specialize in are EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, play therapy, Theraplay (R), Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) (R), expressive therapies, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT).
Within our team, we have additional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), exposure response prevention (ERP), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), the Attachment, Regulation & Competency framework (ARC), Circle of Security Parenting (R), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and use those approaches when appropriate to our clients' needs and development.
In addition to our general counseling services for children, adolescents, and adults, we offer a unique specialization in issues commonly experienced by adopted individuals and their biological and adoptive families.
We also provide psychological testing for parents interested in determining or confirming a child's or adolescent's mental health diagnosis, psychological evaluations for men and women in the adoption process, and attachment assessments for both children and adults interested in learning more about the strengths and challenges of their, or their child's, relational style.

Adoption-Competent TherapyAre you an individual who was adopted, a biological parent of an adopted child, or an adoptive parent? We offer individual, family, and group therapy for all members of the adoption constellation that is sensitive to and knowledgeable about the normative challenges that arise from the losses involved in adoption for each person. |
Children's TherapyHas your child experienced a significant loss? Are they having a difficult time adjusting to change? Are they behaving differently? Does your child seem anxious, depressed, unfocused, restless, or withdrawn? Together, we can identify and help remove some of the barriers in the way of your child's healthy development. They can come to feel safer and more confident in the world around them, better regulate their emotions, and explore their creativity. You and your child can develop a stronger attachment to each other and improve your relationship. |
Adolescents' TherapyIs your teen dealing with the aftermath of trauma or bullying? Are they behaving differently? Do they seem anxious, depressed, isolated, lost, or withdrawn? Therapy can help adolescents express themselves more effectively, build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and set attainable goals for the future. |
Women's TherapyAre you having a difficult time navigating life's changes? Do you feel depressed, anxious, burned out, or stressed? Are you grappling with grief, loss, trauma, or hard relationships? Our individual counseling services offer women a safe place to uncover lies they have believed about themselves, heal from wounding experiences or relationships of the past, and rediscover the life they were meant to live. |
Trauma-Informed TherapyOur culture doesn't like to acknowledge it, but most of us are affected by some form of traumatic experience(s) growing up. You may have directly experienced or witnessed abuse or neglect, your family may have gone through divorce or significant loss, or you may have grown up with a loved one who was incarcerated or struggling with mental illness or substance use. Arbor Cove Therapy was created as a trauma-informed practice, meaning not only do we use trauma-focused therapies, like EMDR, but perhaps even more importantly, we understand how what happened to us can shape us but does not have to define us. We view our therapists' presence and our space as integral parts of creating the felt safety you need to be able to resolve past experiences, relieve pain and suffering, and experience a renewed sense of hope and freedom. |
Group TherapyWe offer group therapy for adoptive parents and adopted adolescent girls, as well as Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) caregiver training for adoptive parents. Group therapy offers members the opportunity to share and connect with other people who share a common experience. Through these relationships can come a profound sense of being understood and safe while learning and practicing new skills. |
Psychological TestingPsychological and psychoeducational evaluations are helpful for determining or confirming a diagnosis and for providing clinical recommendations to other professionals working with an individual (school, therapists, physicians, etc). |
Walk & Talk TherapyTaking therapy outdoors can be helpful to people who feel stuck, whether in life in general or in the progress they've made in therapy in a traditional office setting. Exploring psychological and emotional issues while moving physically can offer new insights that promote forward movement. |
Speaking / ConsultingOur clinicians are available to non-profit organizations, community groups, churches, schools, and professional associations looking to learn more about any of the issues we address, especially those related to adoption, developmental trauma, trauma-informed parenting, attachment, stress, burnout, play, grief, and anxiety. |
