Our Approach
Methods matter. "We'll talk and see" is not a treatment plan — you deserve to know how the work is meant to work.
We work integratively from a small set of deeply-trained methods — chosen per person, per goal, and explained to you in plain language as we go. Here is the toolkit.
How they combine
Assessment comes first: what's happening, what maintains it, what you want instead. Then we match methods to the job — EMDR where trauma drives the pattern, Gottman structure when two people share the room, IFS where inner conflict runs the show, CBT where thought and behavior loops need direct interruption, psychodynamic depth where the story started early.
Motivational Interviewing threads through everything — change sticks when it's yours, not assigned. And because Dr. McVey's doctorate is in clinical sexology, intimacy and sexual health are treated as first-class clinical subjects across all of it.
You'll always know what we're doing and why. Ask anytime; the explanation is part of the treatment.
