Currently accepting new clients. We have services, in English, Mandarin, and Russian.
CARES provides a wide array of services, including individual, family, couples therapy, and group work. They seek to provide the best evidence-based treatment individually tailored for each case. Clinicians at CARES work with children, teens, parents, families, couples, and adults across the lifespan from ages 2 through 64. They offer services in English, Chinese (Mandarin), Turkish, and Russian.
CARES providers include licensed psychologists and social workers and doctoral and master's level students in training. Each provider brings their own unique experiences and utilizes evidence-based approaches consisting of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, supportive talk therapy, and much more. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual client and created collaboratively to focus on what the client feels are the most important areas of need for him/her/them. Our clinicians come from a wide variety of varying cultural and religious backgrounds and speak Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Spanish and Hebrew.
Treatment is offered for all individuals, serving a wide variety of mental health stress and diagnosis.
CARES believes no one person is an Island. We view clients as parts of a more extensive system of family, community, environment, and that all these intricate pieces and people in our lives influence us in many ways, both negatively and positively. We work to support you and teach you to learn and grow so that you no longer need our services and can achieve your life goals by using tools and building your support systems. We want to walk the path with you until we are no longer needed. We want to see you succeed. We know everyone is capable; they need the right tools, thinking style, and support to reach their goals. Lastly, in a world currently so isolated, we want to connect with each client on a very human level and bring hope back into your life.
