Couples & Family Therapy
Fear, sadness and anger often feel contagious. When we are struggling with these issues our families often struggle with us. Luckily joy, hope and growth can be infectious as well. When we address problems in their context we are able to make changes not just for ourselves but with those that matter the most.
Psychological Assessment
Assessment offers diagnostic clarity for clients who may present with symptoms that cross multiple diagnostic categories - such as ADHD, learning disorders, anxiety, and depression - or for those who present with major mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

We're glad you're here!
If you’ve landed on this page it's likely that you’re gearing up to take a new step to tackle the challenges in front of you. You may find yourself asking a myriad of questions about who we are, how to find the right therapist, what a session is like and much more. Let us first say, we are so glad you are here.
What we know from research is that therapy works the best when you feel safe, cared for and can be honest. There are many different techniques and styles of therapy out there so we encourage all our clients to ask questions! We’ll always work to provide what you need, explain what we are doing and help connect you to care that works for you, even if that’s not with us! Our goal is to see you thrive.
Your First Session.
Each session is personalized. You are a unique individual who comes from a unique background and community. During your first session, it is important for us to take the time to get a snapshot of what’s been going on in your life. From there we can work together to come up with treatment goals that help you move towards growth. In addition to discussing what brought you to this moment, we’ll ask questions about your background, family and social life. This is a great time to ask as many questions as you want! Remember feeling comfortable and connected to a therapist is a vital part of therapy.
As we work together, our sessions can take many forms.
There are many different techniques and styles of therapy. In general, your sessions can be a mix of personal and relational exploration and processing; learning, building and practicing therapeutic skills and techniques.
No topics are off limits in therapy. Whether that's religion, race, politics, sexuality, relationships, conflicts or culture; our role is not to tell you what is right and wrong, but to help you understand and navigate your context.
Our Approach
At Artesian Collaborative we work with individuals, couples and families as they pursue emotional, behavioral and relational change. We tailor treatment to the needs of our clients and we use multiple modalities in treatment to address the needs and personalities of the people we meet with. Our focus isn’t just on defining and solving the problem but fostering and developing the skills you need to be successful. Our goal is to help you achieve your goals. Therapy is a relational process and works best with honest and open communication.
