Getting Started
No family is the same as any other. We can’t wait to meet you and tailor a treatment plan just for you.
At Clear Mind, we believe that growth can happen throughout every season of life. Our work supports meaningful change, whether you are five or fifty.
Children are remarkable – they are taking developmental leaps every season! But not all children develop at the same time, and some children have specific cognitive or behavioral issues that seem to require superhuman parenting and extra support. We help children with attention and hyperactivity difficulties, impulsivity, mood and anxiety, OCD, neurodivergent learning styles, family stress and trauma, and a wide range of behavioral problems.
Adolescents are, by definition, caught between the race for independence and the need for support and safety as they try new things. It is this tension, plus the particularly turbulent teenage brain, that makes this such a challenging time for kids and their parents. When things go off track, they can do so spectacularly. We help teens with ADHD, mood and anxiety concerns, perfectionism, eating problems, school and peer problems, emerging sexual, gender, and cultural identities, trauma and struggles around self-esteem.
Adulting is hard! Young people can flip-flop between exuberance and paralysis. Add social media and the constant comparison and pressure to ‘succeed’ and a host of problems can emerge. We treat young adults with anxiety and mood concerns, relationship and work problems, emerging identities, social anxiety and self-concepts and struggles with motivation and focus.
The transition to parenthood is not always easy, and once you get there, it can rock your sense of self and your abilities. We help you get through the transition and teach you to be the best parent you can be. We treat perinatal concerns, including infertility, birth trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety as well as adjustment to parenthood. We also support parents of kids of all ages.
Life is never static and whether we like it or not, we are forced to adapt to constant changes, both good and difficult. Births, deaths, divorce, job transitions, relationship upheaval, even the distress of living with trauma – we are here to help you weather the storm and emerge stronger than before.
What to Expect
Introduction
The first step is a quick call with our assistant who will help you schedule a free 15 minute phone call with one of our clinicians.
Get To Know Us
Second, you will be assigned a therapist that we believe will be a good fit. We take into account your preferences in this process.
Let’s Dive In
Third, you meet with your new therapist for one or two hour long sessions as a formal intake to gather the most important information about you and the reasons why you contacted us.
Deeper Connection & Goal Setting
Fourth, the first several sessions are an important time for you and your therapist to get to know each other and build trust. Its also important at this time for you and your therapist to agree upon goals and to come up with a plan of action for you to achieve those goals.
The Work
As your life continues to evolve, your therapist will be there to hear about your day-to-day challenges, while reminding you of your goals and teaching you skills to try in between sessions. You will go over these skills, reinforce them, and learn new ones.
Goodbyes Are Important Too
Finally, you and your therapist will decide on the most beneficial time to end treatment. Endings can be uncomfortable, and we need to do them all the time. You and your therapist will make sure to review your progress and talk about a timeline that makes sense for you.
