Training & Therapeutic Approaches
Evidence-based approaches, thoughtfully tailored to you and your family. Tess’ training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches allows her to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, whether they are navigating anxiety, OCD, selective mutism, trauma, life transitions, or challenges within relationships and parenting.
-
CBT helps clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we work on developing practical coping skills and more helpful ways to reframe thoughts and reduce avoidance.
-
ACT helps clients build psychological flexibility. Clients learn how to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings, remain present in the moment and make choices aligned with their values, even when anxiety is present.
-
ERP is a specialized treatment for OCD. It helps clients gradually face fears and uncomfortable thoughts while learning to resist compulsive behaviors and build confidence in their ability to tolerate uncertainty and anxiety.
-
PCIT-SM is a specialized, collaborative, approach for children with selective mutism. Intervention includes the child, the child’s caregivers, and the school. The child’s entire team learns strategies that create an encouraging and positive environment for communication while reducing pressure.
-
SPACE is a parent-based treatment for children and adolescents experiencing anxiety and related challenges. Parents learn how to respond supportively while gradually reducing accommodations that may unintentionally reinforce anxiety.
-
BPT helps parents develop practical strategies to support children experiencing anxiety, and respond effectively to disruptive behaviors, or emotional and behavioral challenges. Parents learn tools and language they can use confidently and consistently to help their child feel more capable, regulated, and successful.
A Collaborative Approach
Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Tess draws from these approaches based on your individual needs, goals, developmental stage, and circumstances—creating a treatment experience that is supportive, practical, and personalized.
