Prospect Psychology is a boutique practice of highly trained psychologists, working together to provide customized therapy for adults, couples, children, adolescents, and families. We believe that excellent therapy improves people's lives in substantial, meaningful ways, which is what our patients should expect from working with us. We are trained in frontline evidence-based methodologies to address relationship stress, anxiety, depression, the transition into parenthood, eating disorders, grief, and trauma. Some of our patients will come to therapy not to address a symptom or crisis, but because they want to use psychotherapy to enhance their lives. They are looking for therapy that is fresh and dynamic. Our patients lead demanding lives and come to the practice for exceptional care that matches the goals and concerns they bring to therapy. They want to grow and we want to help them. We love what we do, and in turn, we are committed to the care and growth of the people we work with. 

Individuals

Individual psychotherapy can be beneficial for addressing a wide range of issues, including grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, relationship problems, anger, and self-esteem issues.

Couples

Couples therapy can help to deepen the relationship, improve communication, address long-standing difficulties, consider parenting challenges, improve sexual connection, address the impact of infidelity, or handle a marital crisis. Whatever brings a couple in, they can expect to be heard and helped.

Adolescents

We hold particular expertise in adolescent development and we are committed to supporting teens, helping them learn skills for managing school-related stress, coping with intense emotions, and improving and regulating their mood.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is tailored to your child’s temperament and needs. It can help your child improve social and communication skills, focus and frustration tolerance, and learn coping skills with new ways to solve problems.

Parent Support

If a child is going through a hard time, often a parent is also under stress. When parents engage in parent support therapy they often experience enhanced communication with their child, increased trust, and improved strategies for constructively resolving conflicts.

Perinatal Mental Health

The perinatal period—which begins when an individual starts trying to conceive or becomes pregnant and ends with the baby’s first birthday—is an incredibly complex time of life. Alongside physical and hormonal changes, new roles, identities, and relationship dynamics are unique stressors. Pregnancy can also include medical complications and loss that is unlike other forms of grief and deserves specialized support. Working with a perinatal psychologist can ensure you thrive before, during, and after pregnancy.

Psychoeducational Testing

We provide affordable psychoeducation testing for children, teens, and adults to understand academic strengths and weaknesses, determine areas of neurodivergence, learning disabilities, or ADHD. Useful for requesting accommodations, if needed, assessments are thorough and practical.

Executive Function Coaching

Beneficial for children or adults who want to improve time management, organization, prioritization, and maintaining focus, executive function coaching is helpful and supportive. By learning new skills to free yourself from procrastination and the chronic stress of avoidance and self-blame, you can implement changes and feel better.

Depression

There are different types of depression, with differing underlying causes, and our tailored approach helps you understand the underlying factors contributing to your depression, develop effective coping strategies, and enhance your overall well-being.

Anxiety

We help you learn to manage and reduce the intensity of anxiety symptoms through evidence-based techniques. You will deepened skills to calm your mind and body, accept or challenge negative thought patterns, reduce avoidance behaviors, and confront feared situations.

Eating Disorders

Specializing in treating eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, we help you improve your relationship with food and your body, develop healthy coping strategies for reducing eating disorder behaviors, and increase self-compassion and body appreciation.

Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders

At Prospect Psychology, our perinatal psychologists are specifically trained to provide comprehensive support to individuals making decisions around pregnancy, experiencing infertility, and those using assisted reproductive technology to expand their families. We are experienced in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS) and supporting women and couples before, during, and after pregnancy.

Body Dysmorphia

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a condition marked by an obsessive preoccupation with perceived physical flaws, often invisible to others, leading to significant distress and compulsive behaviors like mirror checking. Common concerns include weight, skin, or facial features. The anxiety and shame from BDD can cause social isolation and impact quality of life. While its origins are likely a mix of biological, genetic, and environmental factors, BDD is treatable through therapy that challenges distorted self-perceptions and promotes healthier self-acceptance.

Spiritual & Religious Patients

We are knowledgeable and skilled in the role and importance of religion and culture in the lives of the individuals we treat. One principle focus of our clinical work and research is ensuring religious patients are properly understood in therapy.

Trauma

Trauma can arise from experiences such as abuse, neglect, accidents, loss, or exposure to violence. However, it may also stem from less overt sources, including prolonged stress or persistent emotional hardship. The impact of trauma is deeply personal and can manifest in diverse and complex ways. At Prospect Psychology, our psychologists are specially trained to support individuals in understanding their experiences, restoring a sense of safety, and reclaiming a fulfilling life.

Internet Addiction

Millions struggle with internet addiction—an unhealthy reliance on excessive gaming, social media, or browsing to escape real-world issues. This disrupts daily life, strains relationships, and harms mental health, often marked by neglecting responsibilities for online time and distress when offline. Our integrative treatment combines evidence-based therapies, mindfulness, psychodynamic approaches, and family involvement with practical strategies to reduce screen time and build strong offline connections. We aim to empower individuals to reconnect with real-world relationships, hobbies, and self-care for a balanced life.

Health-Related Concerns

We provide crucial support for managing the emotional, psychological, and practical challenges of illnesses such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions, and heart disease. We support you in coping with diagnosis, managing treatment side effects, adapting to changes in routine and expectations, and navigating changes in life and identity.

LQBTQIA+

LGBTQIA+ affirming psychotherapy appreciates the needs and strengths of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and non-cisgender individuals. You will find support for overall mental health and well-being, and in responding to challenges related to identity and discrimination.
