Intensive, time-limited & targeted psychotherapy.
The three therapists here – Mark, Danielle and Drew – work in different styles, but each is dedicated to ongoing training and supervision in models that reach deeper to heal more completely. Each of us are trainers in advanced therapy techniques.
Mark has trained in CBT, psychodynamic and addiction therapies but his core organizing system, the one he loves and teaches, is AEDP - Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. It’s an evidence based, deep trauma based and attachment based therapy that gets to the heart of memory and emotion and transforms our very make-up through precise relational and affect-laden experience. It is moving and powerful and heals from the very first moments of connection.
Drew is trained in CBT, ACT and many addiction therapies. But his core approach is CRAFT (see the family therapy page) - a pragmatic, affirming, strength based approach for families struggling with addictions; and a closely allied family therapy based in Xavier Amador’s LEAP model for people with severe mental illnesses. Drew Combines pragmatism with deep empathy and experience.
Danielle is a master couples therapist and trauma therapist. She was trained at the Ackerman Institute in NYC and then in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples with Sue Johnson. She trained hundreds of therapists as a supervisor. She has worked in trauma and attachment based individual models for the last decade, primarily with Core Self Reclamation Therapy, a model developed by SueAnne Piliero from AEDP.

Working With Us
-
Mark has studied and taught a host of evidence based practices - including motivational interviewing, CBT, moderation management and harm reduction. Originally trained in psychodynamic approaches, in the last decade Mark has studied AEDP, and is now a certified supervisor training others. AEDP - accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy - is a very innovative and vital approach that transforms the unbearable aloneness of painful emotional memories and trauma, modifying old beliefs and behavioral schemas through active memory reconsolidation.
It is lively, challenging, and profoundly moving. It feels more than a therapy. It feels like a spiritual practice. It changes lives, reliably and forever.

Danielle is a renowned and senior therapist in emotion focused and experiential psychotherapies. She has trained many many therapists over the years. Around 20 years she practiced and supervised EFT for couples. In the last decade, she has trained in and worked with models of deep trauma Therapy including sensory motor processing, and CSRT - Core Self Reclamation Therapy - which was developed by SueAnne Piliero as a modification of AEDP.
This work is also profoundly relational and experiential, and works with direct access to the young parts of us that learned erroneous beliefs about ourselves and others that have repeated in our relationships and self-confidence ever since.
-
Drew is an engaged and earnest healer, decades of training and experience in CBT, ACT and Family support and coaching. For the first half of his career, he worked with all disorders and addictions, learning, cutting edge evidence based practices and harm reduction approaches. specializing in family work, again focused on deeply pragmatic, empathic and effective strategies that rose above the standard fare of assumptions that most therapists accept.
He connects with authenticity and clarity and structures of treatment that makes clear sense and delivers palpable results.
