Individual, Couple, Parental, or Family Therapy

Psychotherapy, or therapy for short, talk therapy, and counseling are all interchangeable terms that refer to a talk-based method of helping you discover, understand, and improve your relationships with yourself or others. The goal of most therapy is to help you deal more effectively, healthily, and happily with current life challenges or changes, past traumas, and other difficult situations. Talk therapy is shown to be highly effective at treating most forms of OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Loss, Relationship Issues, Eating Disorders, Mood Disorders, and many others. As a result of therapy, clients are often able to change or improve thoughts, moods, feelings, behaviors, patterns, reactions, and communications that are unwanted, feel uncontrollable, or no longer serve their lives. Therapy can also help to uncover and work through the underlying causes of your challenges; therefore, a discussion of your past, present, or future may take place depending on your specific goals. If you have questions, please Contact Us for a FREE consultation.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an extensively researched, highly effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD and Complex PTSD, OCD, Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Panic Disorders, and Phobias. EMDR is different from traditional psychotherapy methods in that it often does not require talking in great detail about the distressing issue or event, nor does it require completing tasks between sessions. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation and other techniques to allow the brain to resume its natural healing process and resolve traumatic memories to a point where the client is able to remember everything, but the emotional charge associated with the event is reduced or gone. For many clients, EMDR can be completed in fewer sessions than with other therapeutic modalities. If you have questions, please Contact Us for a FREE consultation.

Group Therapy (Support Groups, Skills Groups, and Process Groups)

Our Care Providers offer a wide variety of therapeutic groups including support groups (e.g., enroll-anytime groups for grief and loss, survivors of sexual assault, military veterans, addiction, race- or gender-based violence/trauma, etc.), skills or "psycho-educational" groups (e.g., 6-12 week pre-set curriculums for DBT, CBT, self-esteem for teens, parenting, etc.), and process groups (e.g., enroll-as-a-set-cohort intentionally unstructured groups that allow for each group member to reveal the organic patterns they go through when trying to build and maintain relationships). Process groups also focus on what happens in the room (i.e., the reaction you have to your fellow group member or Care Provider, reactions to sitting in silence in the group, noticing what type of role someone seems to be falling into within the group, or learning the impact your way of speaking is having on your fellow group members). Group Therapy has been shown to be highly effective at helping with a wide variety of mental health concerns and is a wonderful way to feel less alone and unique in our challenges.

ADHD Skills & Support (Starts August 2024)

Group Details


ADHD Skills & Support offers: 

A note from Megan about group:


“Today's world places so much strain and stress our brains, including our ability to focus, manage time, organize, start and complete tasks, and give our attention to one thing at a time. For folks with ADHD, these skills can feel that much harder, leading to a decline in their physical, mental, and emotional health.


I am offering this ADHD Skills & Support group as a resource for neurodivergent people who may be struggling to understand how to best manage some of these issues. 


ADHD can also be a very isolating diagnosis, so even if you're just looking for a sense of community with others who can understand, this group might be the space you've been missing.

Introductory DBT Skills (Starts Sept. 2024)

Group Details


Have you noticed that you tend to have more intense emotional reactions to certain situations than others? Do you struggle to regulate your emotions or insecurities within romantic, family, work, or friend relationships? 


DBT theory suggests that some people’s level of emotion in such situations can increase far more quickly than the average person’s, attain a higher level of stimulation, and take a significantly longer amount of time to return to baseline arousal levels. 


Introductory DBT Skills group uses mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques to teach clients to:

Active Parenting Class (Starts November 2024)

Group Details


"Active Parenting" isn't about creating the perfect parent or providing one magical solution. This class offers hands-on tools for every day situations, evidence-based skills, video guided examples, methods for understanding your teen’s motivation for behaviors, improved communication, and discovery of your parenting style.

A note from Megan about the class:


“Our children (and their parents) are facing unprecedented stress and declining physical, mental, and emotional health from bouncing between virtual and in-person learning, to contending with body-image, screen-time, attentiveness, bullying, and misinformation issues from social media—among many other things. 


I am offering this "Active Parenting" class as a resource for parents who may be struggling to understand how to best help their kids and teens with some of these issues. 


As a therapist and "Active Parenting" certified leader, I stand confident in the changes "Active Parenting" creates, not only as a therapist but as a mom of two teenagers. I have witnessed first hand how these methods not only improved my own relationships with my two teenagers, but also for 100s of clients in my parenting groups over the last 8 years." 


-- Megan Murphy Cross, MA, LPCC

Assessment and Evaluation

During the course of therapy, or as a stand-alone service, you may also be in need of an assessment or evaluation. Assessments and evaluations entail selecting, administering, scoring, and interpreting tests, instruments, and other tools designed to measure attitudes, abilities, aptitudes, achievements, interests, personal characteristics, disabilities, or mental, emotional, and behavioral concerns/development. Assessment and evaluation can also include the use of techniques for understanding human behavior in relation to coping with, adapting to, or ameliorating changing life situations as part of the therapeutic process. If you have a question about assessments and evaluations, please Contact Us.

Research, Advocacy, and Court-Related Services

During the course of therapy, or as a stand-alone service, you may want or need your Care Provider to conduct research pertaining to your treatment or condition that is above and beyond the normal scope of therapy. You may also want or need your Care Provider to advocate for you to receive certain outside services, help you connect with an outside agency, or consult with relevant academic, community, cultural, or legal entities. You may also need your Care Provider to be present for or provide expert testimony during a legal proceeding. If you have questions about what types of research, advocacy, or court-related services our Care Providers can offer, please Contact Us.

Customize Your Care

We understand that every client and situation is different.

At Caring Connected, we know people can feel differently on different days, different techniques can work at different times, and the same treatment won't work for every person.
