We use evidence-based practices to help clients reach their goals. "Evidence-based" means significant research has proven the approach or model is effective. Examples of this include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Relational Therapy. In every instance, we approach therapy in a highly individualized way that works best for each client.

We specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who want to learn how to regulate their emotions, create and maintain healthy relationships, and strengthen their relationships with their bodies. Check out our providers' page to learn more about our specific specialties!

An in-person, DBT-informed skills group for teens, paired with a separate parent skills group to help caregivers support emotional regulation, coping, and communication at home. Our team has adapted this group to be practical, neurodivergent-affirming, and developmentally appropriate for teens and their caregivers.

Taylor Alley, A-LPC/MHSP, will lead the teen group, and Laura Hamilton, LPC/MHSP, will lead the parent component.

The fee is $150 per weekly session per family, with a discount available for families who pay in full. Each teen and caregiver will receive a binder with the curriculum to keep, along with a laminated skills reference sheet to use after completing the group.

The group launches Monday, September 14, has limited spots, and will meet weekly from 6:00 to 7:30 PM.

Contact Taylor to schedule a consult to ensure the group is a good fit before joining.

Brainspotting is a focused, body-based trauma treatment that helps clients process experiences that may feel stuck in the nervous system. Sometimes people understand what happened logically, and their body is still carrying the weight of it. Brainspotting can help access and process those deeper layers in a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship. At Tulip Tree Counseling, Brainspotting is currently offered by Taylor Alley, A-LPC/MHSP, and may be incorporated into therapy when it is a good fit for a client’s goals and readiness.

We understand our clients do not exist in a vacuum. Research shows that the individual client, or the “identified client,” is often struggling due to a system out of their control (i.e., their employment structure, family system, ability access to resources, etc.).

When the family or couple is together, the clients are more likely to see goals on a micro and macro level. With increased awareness and the ability to practice new skills together in sessions, couples and families can quickly and efficiently experience the healing process.
