Child And Adolescent Therapist

Now offering student loan repayment assistance.

The Artemis Center for Guidance was founded on the premise that all individuals have inherent abilities to cope with life's hardships and navigate transitions. We believe that with skilled guidance to access one's strengths and make thoughtful decisions, each person can lead a productive and happy life. We specialize in maternal mental health and OCD and anxiety disorders and we also offer a full range of counseling services, including: individual and couples therapy, play therapy for children, counseling for teenagers and young adults, treatment for those recovering from eating disorders and victims of sexual, physical or emotional trauma. Our therapists honor individual differences and draw on each client's family and cultural strengths. Utilizing the most current interventions, shown empirically to be highly effective, our goal is to assist our clients to strive toward and reach their highest potential.

While our therapists are focused on providing these services, our administrative team is focused on supporting the clinical staff so they can provide the best care to the clients. This looks like supervision, no cost, in-house- NBCC-approved training, group dinners, and activities, and a warm and safe working environment, we foster a positive and encouraging, and team-like culture among the staff. Our front desk staff also support the therapists by taking care of all scheduling and billing. At Artemis there is no need to market yourself and no expectation to fill your own caseload. We are a thriving practice and take pride in being able to easily and quickly fill the schedules of our therapists.
