about us
Services at Groundwork
Our team works with clients of all ages, offering services ranging from individual therapy to comprehensive evaluations.
We work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families using evidence-based therapy interventions.
Our testing and evaluation services help clarify diagnoses, make recommendations for support, and guide treatment planning.
We offer professional consultation for professionals and organizations seeking guidance on child and adolescent mental health and evidence-based treatment approaches.
Our Approach
Change is hard—even when we know old patterns aren’t serving us anymore. Lasting change requires more than insight; it takes support, intention, and practice over time. That’s why we approach therapy as something that extends into everyday life.
This means we partner with clients as they try out new strategies and practice curiosity about the impact of changes. We also hold ourselves to that same standard, committing to ongoing learning so we can bring care that is both thoughtful and practical.
We believe therapeutic work is most effective when it extends beyond our office into your everyday life.
Who We Work With
People come to us at different points, but often with a similar feeling: something isn’t working the way it should, and it’s hard to know what to do next.
Parents may seek support when they are trying to understand a child’s patterns of worry, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. They may have already tried to help, but feel uncertain about what their child needs or why things feel so difficult.
College students and young adults may find themselves spending a lot of time overthinking or struggling to keep up with daily demands.
Some find themselves caught in cycles of anxiety or doubt—replaying conversations, questioning decisions, or feeling unable to “move on” from certain thoughts, even when they want to.
Couples may experience ongoing conflict, miscommunication, or a sense of disconnection, and feel unsure how to move toward greater understanding and stability in the relationship.
Across these experiences, there is often a shared goal: developing a clearer understanding of what’s happening and identifying a path forward that feels realistic and actionable.

How We Work
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based care, but shaped by the real lives of the people we work with. We focus on understanding the whole person—their strengths, challenges, and environment—so that recommendations are not only thoughtful, but actually doable. We value clarity, collaboration, and practical strategies that hold up outside the therapy room.
