Individual Therapy

Telehealth & In Person available 
Our individual therapy is built on respect, choice, and collaboration — creating a supportive space to help you heal on your terms. We meet bi-weekly, partnering with you through the challenges of trauma and mental health.

ITTC provides an integrative approach to working with trauma. The nature of working through past trauma can be difficult and at times overwhelming. Treatment should occur in stages in order to prevent destabilization and re-traumatization. Generally, the stages mimic the outline below:

Stage 1: Psychoeducation, creating safety, increasing skills around managing otherwise unmanageable emotions, and creating boundaries in a client’s life.
Stage 2: Trauma processing
Stage 3: Planning for the future and saying good-bye

Due to the nature of our work and the specializations of our clinicians we are not equipped to see clients with high intensity needs. Learn more about who we serve.

Get Started

Step 1
Learn About Our Team and Services

Before filling out the intake form, take some time to explore our therapist bios, specialties, therapy approaches, fees & insurance, and frequently asked questions. This helps you get a sense of who we are and what we offer.

Step 2
Complete and Submit the Intake Form
Fill out our intake form with your background and goals. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. This helps us understand your needs and begin the matching process.
Step 3
Thoughtful Review & Follow-Up

Within 12–36 hours, our team reviews your form carefully. If we need more information or clarification, we’ll reach out. If your needs fall outside our services, we’ll provide personalized referrals. Remember, “not right now” isn’t a “no”, we’re here when you’re ready.

Step 4
Matching You with a Therapist

If your needs align with our services, we’ll match you with a clinician based on your preferences, therapeutic approach, gender preference, and availability. This matching process can take some time because we prioritize a good fit.

Step 5
Begin Your Healing Journey

Once matched, you’ll start working with your therapist in a supportive, safe environment tailored to your needs. If matching takes longer than four weeks, we’ll check in with you about scheduling flexibility to help find the best fit.
