What We Treat

Our team provides specialized therapy across a wide range of concerns. The areas below reflect what we see most frequently, with care tailored to you and your family. Some people know who and what they are looking for when they contact us; others are less clear. We will figure that out together.

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma can affect the way you feel, think, relate to others, and respond to the present—even when the danger is over. Our clinicians offer evidence-based trauma treatments including EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and DBT-PE, tailored to your history, goals, and readiness

Anxiety, OCD & Panic

Anxiety can show up as constant worry, panic, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, physical tension, or a life organized around preventing something bad from happening. We use CBT, exposure and response prevention (ERP), ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to help people respond differently to anxiety, OCD, and panic.

Emotion Dysregulation

For some people, emotions arrive quickly and intensely, linger, or lead to moments that feel difficult to manage. Evidence-based approaches can help you understand your emotions, reduce vulnerability to overwhelm, and build more effective ways of responding—while staying curious about what those emotions may be signaling.

DBT & DBT-Informed Therapy

DBT combines acceptance-based principles with concrete strategies for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, navigating relationships, and changing patterns that are no longer working. Our intensively trained DBT therapists provide

personalized DBT skills instruction for people who prefer not to participate in a group. They also offer DBT-informed therapy, including DBT-PE for trauma when appropriate.

DBT group notice: GPS’s DBT skills groups are currently on hiatus. For current DBT group options, visit our trusted DBT colleague, Dr. Ashley Pierson.

Couples & Relationships

Important relationships can become strained by recurring conflict, emotional distance, betrayal, major transitions, or conversations that leave one or both people feeling frustrated, confused, or in despair. Our clinicians provide evidence-based therapy for couples and other pairs of adults—including siblings, friends, and parents with adult children. We help people understand the patterns that perpetuate tension, communicate more effectively, and find ways to reconnect and repair.

Children, Adolescents & Families

Children and adolescents do not always have words for what is happening. Distress may show up through anxiety or OCD, changes in mood or behavior, school struggles, friendship difficulties, or conflict at home. Our clinicians tailor treatment to the child and family, drawing from individual therapy, parent support, parent-child approaches, and family therapy as appropriate. We are especially attentive to children and adolescents who feel unseen or misunderstood. Our work begins by helping each young person feel seen, understood, and valued for who they are.

Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health

Pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and the transition to parenthood can bring up complicated emotions that you do not need to bear alone. We provide evidence-based support for anxiety, depression, trauma, identity shifts, relationship strain, and the complex feelings that can accompany becoming—or trying to become—a parent. We also make room for ambivalence—about pregnancy, parenthood, the changes they bring, or feelings that do not match what you expected.

Insomnia (CBT-I)

Persistent sleep problems can affect mood, concentration, physical health, and the ability to manage daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a structured, evidence-based treatment for difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early. It is more than sleep hygiene or general advice and is provided at GPS by a clinician with specialized training in CBT-I. Treatment focuses on changing sleep habits and schedules, strengthening the connection between bed and sleep, and addressing thoughts and beliefs that can keep insomnia going.

Ketamine & Psychedelic Integration

Ketamine and psychedelic experiences can bring up powerful emotions, memories, insights, and questions. At GPS, Prerana Patel, LPC, provides therapy for people contemplating, preparing for, or making meaning of these experiences, with attention to safety and integrating what emerges into daily life. Her specialized training and experience include involvement in psychedelic research at Yale. GPS does not prescribe or administer ketamine or psychedelic substances.

Life Transitions & Identity

You do not need to have a diagnosis or be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Changes in relationships, education, work, family roles, health, or identity can bring uncertainty, pressure, grief, or a sense of being stuck or unable to move forward. We work with adults and young adults—including college students and athletes—to better understand your patterns, clarify what drives you, and navigate change in ways that feel both sustainable and authentic.
