Individual Therapy

Adaptive Health Psychology PLLC provides individual psychotherapy services to youth between ages 2 to 24 years old. Psychotherapy services are offered virtually via telepsychology services.

Psychotherapy services typically are tailored to individual clients and their families. Services may include treatments from the following evidence-based therapies: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), exposure therapy, mindfulness interventions, motivational interviewing (MI), elements of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused (TF-CBT) interventions.

Dr. Johnston's approach to treatment is biopsychosocial, meaning she considers biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that contribute to an individual's functioning. She adopts a strengths-based approach and collaboratively works with individuals and families to determine the best treatment plan to help clients achieve their goals. Progress in treatment is routinely monitored and changes are made as indicated.

A complimentary 15-minute phone consultation will help determine whether our services are the right fit for you.
