Our Services
Compassionate, evidence‑based mental health care—tailored to you. From trauma therapy to support for anxiety, depression, couples therapy and life stressors, Beneva Health provides the services you need to heal and thrive.
We provide individual therapy tailored to your needs and goals. Our licensed therapists offer a safe, confidential space to explore emotions, process trauma, and develop coping skills for depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions such as divorce. Treatment is trauma-informed and evidence-based, including EMDR for processing traumatic memories, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and skills-based approaches to improve emotional regulation and stress management.
What to expect
Initial assessment to understand history, current concerns, and treatment goals.
Collaborative treatment planning with measurable objectives.
Regular sessions (in-person or telehealth) focused on insight, symptom reduction, and practical skill-building.
Ongoing progress review and adjustment of approaches as needed.
Crisis planning and coordination with outside providers when necessary.
Who can benefit
Individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, panic, or chronic stress.
Survivors of trauma seeking relief from intrusive memories, nightmares, or hypervigilance.
People navigating major life changes, including separation or divorce.
Those needing suicide-risk support in a compassionate, nonjudgmental setting.
Insurance and accessibility We accept major insurance plans and offer a sliding-scale fee for qualifying clients. Telehealth appointments are available for convenience and accessibility.
To get started, contact our intake team to schedule an initial assessment. We will match you with a therapist whose expertise aligns with your needs and personal preferences.
Couples and family therapy focus on the relationships, patterns, and communication between people who share a life, household, or parenting responsibilities. At Beneva Health & Behavioral Services, our therapists work with couples and families to identify unhelpful interaction patterns, resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection. Therapy can be short-term for a specific problem or longer-term for deeper relational or systemic issues.
Who benefits
Couples navigating conflict, infidelity, separation/divorce decisions, or sexual/intimacy concerns.
Partners managing major life transitions (marriage, parenting, blended family adjustments, retirement).
Families facing chronic conflict, behavioral problems in children or teens, blended-family dynamics, or caregiving stress.
Families and couples dealing with the effects of trauma, mental illness, substance use, grief, or loss.
Those wanting to improve communication, co-parenting, and emotional closeness.
Common goals
Improve communication and de-escalate recurring arguments.
Rebuild trust after breaches or betrayals.
Create effective co-parenting strategies and reduce child exposure to conflict.
Resolve role confusion and boundary issues in blended families.
Address the relational impact of depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction.
Increase emotional attunement, empathy, and sexual/affectionate intimacy.
Therapeutic approaches we use
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps partners access and express attachment needs to reshape interaction patterns and create secure bonds.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for couples: Identifies and changes destructive thoughts and behaviors that fuel conflict.
Gottman Method: Uses research-based tools to repair communication, reduce negative cycles, and build friendship and rituals of connection.
Structural Family Therapy: Examines family organization and boundaries to realign roles and improve functioning.
Narrative and trauma-informed approaches: Reframes problem stories and addresses trauma’s impact on relationships.
EMDR-informed family work: When trauma affects relational dynamics, we integrate trauma processing methods safely and collaboratively.
Safety and confidentiality
Safety is prioritized. If there is active domestic violence, ongoing abuse, or coercive control, individual therapy and safety planning are prioritized. Couples therapy is not appropriate when participants are at risk of harm.
Confidentiality is explained clearly; limits (risk of harm, child abuse, court-ordered disclosure) are reviewed before therapy begins.

Working with children and teens
Interventions are age-appropriate and include parent coaching, family sessions, and individual therapy for children or adolescents when needed.
We focus on improving parent-child communication, behavior management strategies, and reducing the child’s exposure to conflict.

There’s persistent emotional distance or loss of intimacy.
