At Birch Tree Psychology we integrate insight oriented therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) to tailor treatment to each individual’s needs. One goal of the initial consultation is to evaluate current issues to determine the most effective treatment approach. In addition, we evaluate if there is a good fit between the patient and the psychologist. We believe that a positive working relationship is needed for therapy to be effective.

Anxiety is your a natural response to stress. When it becomes excessive, overwhelming, or interferes with your daily life, it may be time to seek treatment.
Mindfulness is the psychological state of being present and focussed on the current moment while observing your emotions, thoughts, physical experience, and external world without judgement.
Depression can look different in different people but the effect is often pervasive. Depression includes a depressed mood (sadness or anger), feelings of hopelessness, difficulty enjoying things, lethargy, and physical pain.
Cutting is any intentional breaking of the skin with a sharp object that is not intended to lead to suicide. More broadly this behavior is considered self-injury.
