Our Specializations
ADHD isn’t just a childhood disorder. It affects millions of American adults in every part of their lives — including work, school, and relationships. ADHD is a chronic condition, so it’s not about curing it; it’s about decoding it and learning new pathways through it. We use an approach inspired by ADHD expert, Dr. Edward Hallowell, and other thought leaders to help you restructure your life and minimize ADHD’s negative impact.
“Adulting” is hard. There are so many things to balance, from work, finances, relationships, and more. If you’re caught at a crossroads or just going through something that’s weighing you down, our therapists can help. You don’t need to figure it all out on your own. Through therapy, you can solidify your values, make the best decisions for you, and become the adult that you want to be.
If you live with anxiety, you’re not alone. Anxiety is the #1 most common mental health disorder in the U.S. Most people who have it feel that anxiety severely limits their lives — but it doesn’t have to limit yours. Our therapists are highly trained in empowering people to get past anxiety and challenging the thinking patterns that hold you back.
Every person on the autism spectrum is unique. You have your own interests, values, and strengths — which means that a one-size-fits-all counseling approach isn’t going to work for you. We have therapists on our team that are highly specialized in working with autistic people. Our goal is to help you build on the gifts that you already have, and work through the trickier parts of your life (whether they’re related to autism or not).
If your thoughts about food or your body feel overwhelming, you’re not alone. Negative body image can lead to anxiety, low self‑esteem and disordered eating. In therapy, we explore the influences that shape your relationship with food and your body and help you shift toward self‑acceptance and well‑being. Our counselors use evidence‑based approaches to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself and with food.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most widely used evidence-based form of psychotherapy. It has been proven to help people effectively manage their emotional and behavioral issues, improve their mental health and increase their life satisfaction.
CBT is a type of talk therapy that focuses on the relationship between your thoughts and feelings, as well as how these habits affect your behavior.
Childhood trauma can shape how you see yourself and the world. If memories of abuse, neglect or other painful experiences are still affecting your daily life, our therapists provide a safe, supportive space to explore and heal. We’ll honor your story, help you understand how trauma shows up in your body and mind, and work together to develop coping strategies so you can move forward with resilience.
Depression can make you feel hopeless, worthless, and apathetic. If you’re going through this, you’re not alone. And we can help — therapy is 3 times more effective for depression than medication alone. Our team has over 25 years of experience in using evidence-based techniques to help people with depression. You can get yourself out of this hole, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, is an innovative treatment method that helps people heal from the emotional pain that comes from disturbing or traumatic life events. People tend to see improvements very quickly in EMDR. It’s as if the trauma was a piece of shrapnel in a wound. When EMDR removes the shrapnel, your healing process can truly begin.
Losing someone we love is something that, unfortunately, almost all of us will go through at some point or another. Grief is normal, but incredibly painful, and can be tricky to navigate. There’s no right way to grieve, but our counselors can help you move through the process in a way that honors your loved one.

People in the LGBTQ+ community face unique challenges in the world, both as individuals and in couples. Our therapists create a shame-free environment, you’re questioning your gender identity, you need support coming out, or anything else you might be going through. All of our therapists are LGBTQ-affirmative, but if you’d prefer to work with an LGBTQ+ therapist, we can make that happen.
Access to quality mental health care shouldn’t depend on your budget. Our low-cost counseling program offers a more affordable way to begin therapy with advanced graduate-level clinicians who are closely supported by our licensed supervisors. This option can be a good fit if you’re navigating anxiety, stress, identity questions, or life transitions and want thoughtful, compassionate care at a lower cost. Sessions are $75 per session, with a sliding scale available based on financial need, and are offered in-person or via telehealth.
Neurodiversity‑affirming therapy celebrates your brain’s unique wiring. Whether you’re autistic, have ADHD, dyslexia or simply think differently, our therapists meet you where you are. We don’t aim to “fix” you; instead, we work together to understand your strengths and challenges, develop strategies that honor how you process the world, and support you in advocating for yourself so you can thrive on your own terms.
People don’t only go to therapy when something’s going wrong in life. Often, our clients come to see us because they want to deepen their self-awareness and grow into the best version of themselves. Therapy can help you get unstuck to start moving your life in the direction you want to head. Together, we can work towards achieving balance and serenity in your life.
Starting the journey of pregnancy and the perinatal period is deeply personal. It can stir up a whirlwind of emotions, from the excitement of new life to the worries and uncertainties about what lies ahead. At Just Mind Counseling, we understand that this journey is not always easy and that each individual’s experience is unique.
Postpartum depression can make you feel alone — but you’re not. Up to 1 in 8 people develop depression symptoms after having a baby. It isn’t your fault that you have postpartum depression. But it is important that you get help addressing it so that you’re able to enjoy new parenthood and bond with your baby. We can help you with stress, coping, sleep, healthy habits, and more.
Trauma gets stored in the body. That’s why traditional talk therapy is often not enough to get to the root of trauma — you need a qualified trauma therapist who can heal the psychological injury that you’re hurting from. All of our therapists are specialized in working with PTSD, and many of them are trained in evidence-based trauma healing methods like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.
Our self-esteem therapy isn’t just about boosting your confidence; it’s about rewriting the narrative you tell yourself. Together, we’ll unravel the layers of doubt and uncover the inherent worth that lies within you. Imagine waking up each day with a sense of purpose and confidence — no more second-guessing yourself or shrinking in the face of challenges.
Single Session Therapy can be of benefit to anyone – it can be particularly useful for clients who might have particular reservations about the traditional and extended forms of psychotherapy, and/or those who feel they just want to bounce some ideas off a nonbiased third party mental health professional. Issues that are suitable for Single Session Therapy treatment include decision-making, life transitions, break-ups, relationship challenges, and more.
Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body‑based approach to healing stress and trauma. Instead of just talking about what happened, we help you notice where tension or stuck energy lives in your body and guide you in releasing it safely. This can ease symptoms like anxiety, chronic stress and numbness. Working slowly and with great care, we’ll help you reconnect with your body’s natural resilience and restore a sense of balance.
We understand the toll stress can take on your mental and emotional well-being. That’s why we offer specialized stress management therapy to help you regain control and find peace amidst life’s challenges. Our experienced therapists provide personalized guidance and support tailored to your unique needs.
Want to come in for a single session of therapy with no commitment to return? No problem.
Couples Counseling
Even the best marriages need tune-ups once in a while. Whether you and your partner just need a tune-up or you’re looking for a complete overhaul, our couples’ therapists can help.
It can be scary to confront the issues within your relationship, but when you ignore them, they only become more and more powerful — which can drive you further apart.
Couples therapy can help you and your partner:
- Find new ways to communicate through conflict
- Hear new, objective perspectives and solutions
- Learn new strategies for connection
- Lay the new groundwork for your relationship moving forward
Our couples’ counseling sessions are 90 minutes long, and are always tailored to your unique relationship, history, and needs.
Our Services include:
Intimate relationships are one of the most important — but hardest — part of most people’s lives. Counseling can help you get a better picture of what you want from these relationships. By understanding past dating patterns, you move on from the past and make sure that your future relationships are fulfilling, healthy, and solid. We also offer divorce counseling for people who are experiencing that loss.
As an LGBTQ+ couple, you might face unique challenges and issues in your relationship. Our partners often shine the brightest lights into our deepest wounds, so it’s imperative that you build a secure attachment with each other. If you prefer, we can pair you with an LGBTQ+ couples therapist who can help you to heal and grow your relationship. All of our couples therapists are sex-positive and LGBTQ-affirmative.
Are you and your partner having a hard time communicating lately? Do you feel like no matter how you try to approach things, you end up in a disagreement? We can help you learn new communication strategies so that you both feel heard and validated, and create new pathways to become a Master Couple.
Preparing for marriage is about a lot more than planning the wedding. Research has shown that couples who prepare for their life together through premarital counseling have stronger marriages than those who don’t. Our couples therapists can help you learn skills together that will strengthen your bond as you walk the exciting road ahead.

Child, Teen, and Family Counseling
Kids can feel stressed and need therapy, too. If you’re concerned about your child’s emotional or mental health, come talk to us. We approach child therapy by building a solid relationship with your child that’s based on teamwork, acceptance, trust, nurturing interactions, and attachment. Our expert child psychologists use the child’s language — play — to communicate with them, and we always work with parents to help you strengthen the relationship and attachment patterns.
Being a parent is hard work — it’s one of the toughest jobs out there. All parents need and deserve support. Many of our therapists are parents themselves, and understand deeply the joys and challenges this journey brings. We can help with different issues surrounding parenting, from reclaiming your identity as a parent to helping with parenting strategies.
Teens don’t see the world in the same way as adults do. To help them, you need to be able to connect with them. Our teen counselors have spent years in the school systems, where they learned exactly how to tie into your teen’s world. We use a combination of talk therapy, fun physical activities, and art to connect to teens and help them express themselves.

Corporate & Leadership Counseling
Starting a business with someone creates a unique dynamic that can be tricky to navigate without outside guidance—cofounders often begin as friends who then have to learn how to balance the personal with the professional in their relationship.

Healthy employees build healthy organizations. Our employee mental wellness services give your team a confidential space to address stress, burnout, workplace conflict and life challenges.

Investing in mental health support can boost morale, productivity and retention across your workforce.

It’s hard being a leader. You’re tasked with influencing others—serving as both role model and guide—all without losing sight of what makes you unique. You have to walk the tightrope between authority and relationship-building, and know how to establish trust while setting boundaries. All the while, you have your own ambitions for your career or business.
When you want to master the art of leadership or reach ever-higher levels of success in your work, you call a leadership coach.

Group Counseling
Group counseling is an excellent way to study individual dynamics in a free form and a very powerful form of psychotherapy. Many individual counseling graduates elect for group therapy as a next step where they can experience and understand how they defend against many feelings in the present moment. These feelings are explored with others who are feeling similarly in a climate of curiosity and tolerance.

Many individual counseling graduates elect for group therapy as a next step where they can experience and understand how they defend against many feelings in the present moment. These feelings are explored with others who are feeling similarly in a climate of curiosity and tolerance.
Regular group participation is asked of all participants and most people stay in groups 10+ weeks. This helps norms to develop which help to facilitate self-exploration and growth. This helps everyone to learn to better identify and express their feelings and have more fulfilling relationships. This tends to also propagate to work, marriages, and friendships. Prices for groups vary upon the size and the number of facilitators.

- None: The Grounded Men’s Group
