How We Work

Evidence-Based Approaches To Therapy

Our therapists draw from a range of proven therapeutic methods, tailored to your specific needs and goals.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): CBT is one of the most widely researched and effective forms of therapy available. It helps you identify negative thought patterns that drive difficult emotions and behaviors, and teaches you practical tools to challenge and reframe them. CBT is particularly effective for anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD.
DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy): Originally developed for individuals with intense emotional experiences, DBT has become a gold standard treatment for a wide range of conditions. It combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and improve relationships.
DBT Skills Groups: Group settings for DBT skill-building, where participants can learn and practice strategies to improve emotional control and relationships.
Trauma-Informed Therapy: Trauma-informed care recognizes how past experiences shape the way we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. Our therapists create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process difficult experiences at your own pace without being retraumatized.
Holistic and Integrative Therapy: We recognize that mental health doesn't exist in isolation. Our holistic approach considers the full picture of your life including your physical health, relationships, lifestyle, and environment, and draws from multiple therapeutic modalities to create a truly personalized plan.

Testimonials

Dr. Gaonkar is knowledgeable and kind- never dismissive. Once when I was leaving he said, "don't worry we'll figure this out." I felt seen and knew he was on my team. I like being able to choose in person visits or video. Scheduling is easy and the office staff very helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend!

I had the opportunity to do a clinical training as a postgrad MD with Dr. Gaonkar recently. Based on my prior experiences I can safely say that he definitely understands his patients needs, and works to address their individual concerns rather than use a “one show fits all” concept. He has many many years of experience in the mental health field and I have firsthand seen his expertise in practice.

My experience with this office is that they tend to suit your needs. They are friendly on the phone, and you can get into your doctors office pretty quickly. I found that my doctor was willing to help put me on medications that would suit my needs, and was patient with me while I cycled through various medications. I would recommend this office to someone who might be exhausted from their previous doctor. They also accept most insurances, so you might not have a big copay when you’re done.

I have all positive things to say about my psychiatrist. I have been seeing him for 15 years and to this day I am still under his care. He takes the time to listen too you're problems than if needed comes up withe right medication for your diagnosis. I have good things to say about the staff they are very helpful at answering questions.
