We specialize in evidence-based treatments for OCD, phobias, BRFB, ADHD, and mood disorders with a particular emphasis on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treatment. Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive therapeutic solutions tailored for children, teenagers, and adults.
Aspire Psychotherapy offers ancillary treatments such as Virtual Reality therapy and Biofeedback training (HRV/Peak Performance) to compliment their client’s progress.

We are a team of clinical psychologists and social workers that provide affirmative therapy for all individuals. We focus on creating safe spaces to facilitate healing while encouraging our clients to take committed action towards the lives they crave. Our approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure Therapy. These approaches have a profound impact on individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, phobias and more. Using measurement based care and tailored assessments our approach to mental health care captures not only the ways in which you feel better, but objective data about how your symptoms are improving in response to treatment. Our Psychological Testing and Evaluation services help our patients accurately identify ADHD, Autism, giftedness and more to help inform treatment planning and/or support in school or at work.

Aspire Psychotherapy is a premier psychology practice that offers a range of psychological services such as psychotherapy, biofeedback and neuropsychological testing services to children, adolescents, and adults. We take pride in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that honors the unique identities and backgrounds of each person who walks through our doors. Our expert team of psychologists and social workers is dedicated to providing personalized and compassionate care tailored to your specific needs.
