Specialty Outpatient Group Practice

Specialized care for trauma, addiction, and lasting recovery

Compassionate, evidence-based mental health support rooted in safe relationships — for individuals, families, and communities across California and Utah.

A calm lotus flower floating on still water

We help individuals, families, and communities heal through trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and family-systems care.

We specialize in trauma, addiction, emotional dysregulation, and relational challenges through integrative approaches including EMDR, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, emotional regulation groups, expressive arts, and sound healing meditation. Healing happens through safe relationships, authentic connection, and care that honors each person's lived experience, culture, strengths, and goals.

Our Clinical Approach

Beyond symptom management

We address the deeper relational, emotional, and neurobiological impacts of trauma. Rather than asking "What is wrong with you?" we seek to understand what has happened, how it has shaped you, and what is needed for healing.

01

Trauma-Informed Care

We prioritize emotional safety, trust, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural responsiveness in every aspect of treatment.

02

Attachment-Focused Treatment

We strengthen secure attachments, increase relational awareness, and support healthier interpersonal patterns over time.

03

Family Systems & Relational Healing

Healing doesn't occur in isolation. We consider family systems, generational patterns, and community experiences throughout recovery.

Specialty Areas

Trauma & PTSD

Acute, complex, childhood, and relational trauma, and post-traumatic stress responses.

Psychotherapy Services

Healing is not one-size-fits-all

Individualized outpatient psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families — through trauma recovery, addiction treatment, emotional healing, and life transitions, with compassion, safety, and clinical expertise.

Our Treatment Philosophy

Healing through safe relationships

We integrate trauma-informed care, attachment-focused therapy, family systems principles, and evidence-based modalities — working collaboratively to understand the experiences, attachment patterns, and nervous system responses underneath emotional distress, not just the symptoms.

Individual Psychotherapy
A calm individual therapy session

Individualized therapy for adolescents and adults navigating trauma, addiction, emotional dysregulation, chronic stress, relational wounds, and major life transitions. We create treatment plans that support emotional safety, self-awareness, regulation, and meaningful long-term change.

Trauma & PTSD Treatment

Treatment for acute trauma, chronic stress, childhood and relational wounds, grief, and complex experiences. May incorporate EMDR, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, mindfulness, emotional regulation, expressive arts, and nervous system regulation approaches.

Addiction & Recovery Services
A hopeful sunrise sky

Recovery grounded in compassion and accountability rather than shame — addressing the emotional pain, trauma, and nervous system adaptations beneath substance use. Integrates SMART Recovery principles, relapse prevention, and trauma-informed adaptations of 12-step support when aligned with each person's goals.

EMDR & Attachment-Focused EMDR
A calm lotus on still water

Specialized trauma treatment helping process experiences that become "stuck" in emotional, cognitive, and nervous system responses. Attachment-Focused EMDR adds emphasis on emotional safety, early attachment experiences, relational trauma, and nervous system stabilization.

Somatic & Nervous System Therapies
