How We Can Help
Individual Therapy
The therapists at Shulman Psychology Group take a holistic and individualized approach to working with each client. Our work goes beyond symptom management, or giving generic advice. We are trained in a wide array of modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Relational Therapy. You will have the opportunity to be truly understood, to be accepted without judgement, and to build and practice new skills in how you relate to yourself and others.
Whether you are coming to work through childhood attachment wounds, heal from depression, get relief from anxiety, or get unstuck from patterns that no longer serve you, we can help. Through individual therapy you will be able to feel less alone, uncover your true self, build resilience through challenges, and heal what ails you. You should expect nothing less.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy offers couples a dedicated space to work together, with the help of a trusted guide, towards healthier, more constructive ways of relating to one another. At Shulman Psychology Group, we can help you build the trust and willingness to share your needs, acknowledge your vulnerabilities, and gain a deeper sense of agency within your relationship. We assist couples in having courageous, heartfelt conversations that move things forward.
We guide you to build and practice skills for self-regulation, so that overwhelm, states of self-protection, lashing out, or withdrawal no longer have to derail your interactions. We help each partner in the couple foster their own internal attachment work; learning to understand and respond to their own feelings first, and then show up with more clarity and compassion for each other. Over time, this process helps transform the negative interaction patterns that create distress and disconnection and replace them with new patterns marked by greater emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and alignment with each person’s values and goals.
Teen & Parent Therapy
Adolescence is a time of challenges as well as incredible opportunities for growth and building competence. If your teen is struggling with mood, behavior, difficulties in relationships, avoidance of responsibilities, or any other mental health problems, getting help from a specialist can prevent future crises and support healthy development into adulthood. Mental, emotional and behavioral challenges in teens are best addressed directly through a combination of skill building, psychoeducation, relationship building, and problem solving.
Adolescent therapy can include talking, drawing, and other activities to help the teen express their thoughts and feelings. They will learn new ways of understanding, and grow their capacity for relating to experiences without avoidance. Adolescent therapy should go beyond symptom management to promote long-term psychological flexibility and strength.
At Shulman Psychology Group, we know that parents are an integral part of every teen’s life, and we aim to support each teen’s relationship with their parents and families. In addition to supporting teens in their own individual therapies, we also offer parent-focused therapy where parents can consult about their child’s behavior and feelings. In parent-focused therapy, we help parents understand their particular child’s needs and the ways that these might interact with the parents’ own history or psychology. We guide parents collaboratively and non-judgmentally toward being the kind of parent they want to be for their child, and toward finding solutions that are in line with their values and are effective for their particular family.
Group Therapy
Group therapy can be transformative. In a safe space, surrounded by understanding peers, group members can share experiences and get support while learning from others in a similar phase of life who face related challenges.
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), group therapy offers many benefits, including creating a robust support network that can extend beyond the regular meeting times. Talking and listening to peers can help group members put their problems into perspective and reduce shame, stigma, and isolation. Research shows that group therapy can be as effective and is more efficient than individual traditional therapy.
