Traumatic Event Therapy – When you suffer through a traumatic event, the resulting emotional, physical, and mental scarring can feel permanent. But it’s not. With traumatic event therapy, you can confront whatever traumatic event has left you in pain, moving beyond the fear, grief, and other negative effects of your trauma.
Anger Management Therapy – No matter who you are, you have your own ways of dealing with your anger.

Psychological Evaluations

Psychological evaluations assess personality, behaviors, and capabilities of anyone evaluated for mental health issues, learning disabilities, developmental delays, memory problems, and other impairments. Psychological evaluations help doctors, teachers, families, and individuals begin building health care plans, alternative learning plans, and more to ensure that the needs addressed in the evaluation are met. See our Psychological Evaluations page for a complete list of the psychological assessments we provide to identify disorders, disabilities, impairments, and special needs.
