Therapy
* Sabeena Mozaffar and Lin Batin are both taking new clients for therapy via telehealth.
Individual therapy offers a personalized approach to understanding and working through mental health concerns. We use evidence-based approaches designed to help you gain insights, develop coping strategies, and build skills to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while fostering personal growth and resilience. Therapy can help to reduce distress and improve coping with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma.
The first therapy appointment is focused on information gathering in order to understand what brings a person to therapy and to determine a good treatment plan. We typically have clients start therapy with appointments once per week for 55 minutes per session. As clients feel better, they might reduce the frequency of sessions to every other week, and then later to as-needed. The duration and schedule of a course of therapy varies widely depending on a person's presenting concerns, preferences, and goals.
Psychological Assessments
* Dr. Kelsey Blomeke is taking new clients for psychological assessments in person and via telehealth.
Psychological assessments provide diagnostic clarification and documentation. They typically involve both interview/discussion and standardized testing. These types of assessments are more thorough than what clients typically need to get started with therapy and usually have a specific purpose or question to answer.
Examples of reasons for doing a psychological assessment include:
Pre-employment clearance or fitness for duty evaluations for public safety jobs (e.g. air traffic controllers, military)
Disability applications (for social security disability administration or veteran's administration)
Workers’ Compensation / Functional Capacity Evaluations
Possible ADHD/ Recommendations for ADA accommodations for university or standardized testing
Psychological clearance for bariatric surgery or organ transplant
Therapist recommends more thorough evaluation for differential diagnosis and treatment planning
Please note, we do not offer assessments that are needed for legal/court cases. It is recommended individuals be evaluated by a forensic psychologist if seeking assessments for those purposes.
