Specialties & Services
Explore our expertise and services to meet your mental and emotional health needs.
Individual Therapy
The mode of treatment used is determined by your therapist and is dependent on the presenting problem bringing you into therapy at this time, and the symptoms you may presently be experiencing. We offer different treatment modalities including but not limited to; Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Grief Therapy.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensivelyresearched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma andPTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences. EMDR is a form of therapy where the client briefly focuses on the trauma memory, while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically through eye movements or tapping), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.
Relationship Therapy
We are relational beings, from the cradle to the grave we seek to feel safe and secure within our relationships with caregivers and later with our partners. At Evolve we are happy to offer relationship therapy that is inclusive of all relationships. Treatment modalities used with relational partners include both Gottman and Emotion-Focused Therapy. In addition to treating partners, we also provide Family Therapy. Treatment modalities used include Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Attachment Therapy, and Structural Therapy.

We can help you grow and thrive as a mental health practitioner.
Psychological Testing
The general purpose of psychological testing is to aid in the identification of a definitive diagnosis for various mental health conditions. This helps in providing treatment management protocols (recommendations) to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and to become more self-aware. The testing recommendations can help provide a road map for treatment and can assist your therapist, psychiatrist, or educational team as well. Many of these tests can be taken conveniently online and results can be provided along with a formal psychological evaluation report. ETSD therapists provide psychological testing for the following conditions:
- ADHD
- Anxiety
