All of our services are currently offered with a telehealth option. These sessions are held online via a HIPAA-compliant web platform so that you can start or continue your treatment from the comfort and safety of your home. We also offer in-person options.

Our psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioners work with our therapists to conduct psychiatric evaluations and medication management so that you or your child can return to optimal functioning ASAP.

Psychological Evaluation & Testing

We provide Psychoeducational and ADHD evaluations for individuals ages 6-25. We also conduct forensic evaluations to assist attorneys in better understanding the psychological factors that impact their clients.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is exercise for the brain. When practiced regularly, by meditating or simply redirecting your attention back to the present moment using one of your five senses, your brain chemistry will actually change causing you to feel more calm, focused, happy, and able to manage any difficult thoughts and emotions that you experience.

Featured Provider

Sarah Al-Zadjali

MA, PLPC

Sarah works with adults and teens 16 and up who are looking for guidance in improving their quality of life. Sarah is passionate about helping others learn more about themselves in a different way: through trying softer. Sometimes the quality of our thoughts themselves can cause us to shoot out of our window of presence and hinder the way we view and participate in life– a way that may not be in alignment with our values and needs. Yes, life can, and will, be distressing, challenging and hard. Unfortunately, those moments are not negotiable. What is negotiable, though, is how we choose to respond to it. In sessions with Sarah, you can expect to explore themes of self: self-acceptance, self-trust, self-love, self-compassion, self-talk, self-image, self-confidence, self-care, self-forgiveness, self-discipline, and most important, self-awareness. Sprinkles of compassion are also expected!
