Individual Psychotherapy for Adults 

I provide individual psychotherapy using an integrative approach and evidence-based models of treatment. Tailored to individual needs and preferences, I use a relational approach in providing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions and relaxation training. As a collaborative process, it is important in therapy to share what feels to be working well, and what is less effective.  I welcome direct and open dialogue about these topics. 

Problems I can help with:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety, uncontrollable worry
  • Compulsive behavior
  • Chronic Stress/Tension
  • Grief/Loss
  • Anger Management
  • Sleep difficulties
  • Relationship issues
  • Difficulties making decisions

In addition, I help individuals to:

  • Develop skills in stress reduction and anxiety self-management
  • Navigate difficult life transitions
  • Cope after change or loss 
  • Improve overall quality of life
  • Manage conflict
  • Set and attain goals towards health/wellness
  • Process difficult thoughts and feelings

Areas of Specialty include:

  • Eating Disorders, including Binge Eating
  • Weight management
  • Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
  • Behavioral Medicine
  • Topics of health psychology (i.e., lifestyle changes related to chronic conditions  like diabetes and pain)

Group Psychotherapy for Adolescents (DBT)

Two DBT Group options for teens:  
Wednesdays (weekly, 50 mins) 4pm & 5pm
Groups are co-faciliated by Dr. Jillian Burley & Alayna McGarty, LMHC

*Groups have a max of 6 members and are led with a rolling admission on a 24-week curriculum/6 month cycle
*All groups are self-pay. Detailed invoices are supplied monthly to submit for reimbursement to insurances with out-of-network benefits.
​*All potential new members are seen for a 30 min initial visit with group leader(s) to establish whether group is appropriate fit for needs/level of care, and ability to commit to group cycle. This is also further opportunity for potential new members and their guardians to learn more about the group and what to come to expect from this experience
