Our mission is to provide the greater Rhode Island area with exceptional therapy and testing. We understand that every individual client, session, and situation is unique. We offer individual therapy and neuropsychological testing for adolescents, college students, and adults of all ages.
PVD Psych is a LGBTQIA Affirming practice. We strongly believe that everyone has the right to safe, respectful, and affirming, high quality care.
Everyone on our team is trained in evidence based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy. Some of us have specialized training in other therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE) and internal family systems therapy (IFS).
Everything we do is designed to give you the best possible therapy and/or testing experience. Our team is comprised of highly trained, experienced therapists and select exceptional trainees. We understand the importance of matching therapeutic style to the particular needs of each client, and are able to do this as we intentionally have created a team of therapists with different specialties and approaches.
Most of the therapists at PVD Psychological Associates are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (commercial plans only; not community). We also accept United Healthcare Student Resources plans. Lastly, a couple of our providers are in network with Optum/United Healthcare.
