Work with an Aspire psychotherapist

 

What We Offer

From psychotherapy and sports performance to psychological testing

Our affirmative therapists are compassionate, collaborative and work with clients on both short and long term goals. We balance supporting you with where you are at and respectfully guiding you towards achieving a happier, fulfilling life using evidence-based methods. Most of our patients have not worked with an affirmative therapist before and are relieved to get started.

What We Can Help With:

Our therapists treat a wide variety of mental health concerns from adjusting to life changes and stress, to OCD and phobias. For some, the focus is on here and now symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, depression and body image. Others look to explore relationship patterns or the role of trauma in their life. All of our providers are passionate about social justice and use anti-oppressive and trauma-informed stances in their work.

Our Experts Are Trained in:

You do not need to have a specific therapy style in mind to begin. Your therapist will clearly explain their approach to you after learning more about your therapy goals and history.

The Right Approach for You:

Are you looking for concrete, tangible tools to change your life now? Or do you prefer a more laid back therapy style where you can vent about your week. If you know which style works best for you, please let us know If not, we will explore this together.

Parent Management Training (PMT) is a proven therapeutic approach designed to equip parents with effective skills and strategies to manage their children's behavior more efficiently. At Aspire Psychotherapy, we offer PMT as part of our comprehensive services, recognizing the critical role parents play in shaping their children's development. Through PMT, parents learn techniques such as positive reinforcement, setting clear expectations, and implementing consistent consequences to promote positive behaviors and reduce problematic ones. By empowering parents with these tools, we aim to strengthen family dynamics, improve communication, and foster healthier relationships between parents and children.

Our skilled therapists at Aspire Psychotherapy work collaboratively with parents to tailor PMT strategies to their unique family dynamics and challenges. Through a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, we guide parents in implementing these techniques effectively, empowering them to navigate various parenting situations with confidence and resilience. Whether addressing issues like defiance, aggression, or ADHD-related behaviors, PMT offers practical solutions that promote long-lasting positive change within the family unit.

Biofeedback

What is Biofeedback?

Biofeedback is a form of therapy that involves using technology to monitor and measure physiological responses in the body, such as heart rate, breathing, and muscle tension. By providing individuals with real-time feedback about these responses, biofeedback training can help people learn to control their body's functions and improve their physical and mental health, without medication!

What can biofeedback help with?

Biofeedback training is typically non-invasive and painless, and it has been shown to be effective in reducing stress, anxiety, chronic pain, maximizing mental and physical performance, and other conditions. It is often used in combination with other therapies, such as counseling or medication, to provide a comprehensive approach to treatment. Anyone looking to feel better, improve health, increase performance, and regulate emotions can benefit from biofeedback at Aspire Psychotherapy.
