The goal of therapy is to helped you develop a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; develop more effective coping skills, and improve your overall functioning. We provide evidence-based treatment for a range of disorders including anxiety, mood disorders, behavioral addictions, personality disorders, and trauma and stress. My overall stance is humanistic and client-centered, and specific techniques utilized include CBT, ACT, DBT skills, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Couples Therapy
Our positive approach to marriage and couples therapy provides couples with effective skills to manage and resolve disagreements, rebuild trust, and improve communication. Therapy is based on an integrative approach that teaches skills, improves emotional connection, and helps couples develop a deeper understanding of their relational patterns. Couples therapy is also an excellent tool to reduce conflict, improve emotional and physical intimacy, and heal from trauma or loss.
Psychological/Educational Assessments
Assessments, like medical tests, are used to understand the underlying causes of an individual's difficulties. A typical assessment “battery” consists of clinical interview, direct observation, diagnostic questionnaires, cognitive testing, educational achievement testing, personality testing, and collateral interviews. Jackson Psychology offers a full range of assessment and evaluations for both children and adults including diagnostic evaluations for psychiatric disorders, learning evaluations, ADHD assessments, weight loss or cosmetic surgery evaluations, risk assessments, and Autism Spectrum Disorder evaluations.
