Therapy with Todd

DBT Therapy for BPD

I provide comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based approach specifically designed for individuals managing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

This service combines two essential components to help you build a life worth living:

  • Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions focused on motivation, applying skills to specific life challenges, and addressing specific therapeutic targets.

  • Skills Group Training: A weekly group format where you learn and practice the four core DBT skills modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

The core goal is to help you reduce self-destructive behaviors, manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and move toward emotional stability.

Neurodevelopmental Assessment Service: ADHD & Autism

I offer specialized neurodevelopmental assessments for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These comprehensive evaluations are currently reserved for established clients only.

ADHD Assessment

For children and adults, the ADHD assessment process utilizes established, structured diagnostic interviews and rating scales to gather thorough information on symptoms and functional impairment.

Autism (ASD) Assessment

The assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder involves a multi-faceted approach, combining observation and standardized testing to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

Behavioral Health & Metabolic Coaching

Achieving sustainable health and weight management requires an integrated approach that addresses both the psychological roots of behavior and the physical requirements for metabolic success.

This service brings together my expertise as a psychotherapist, personal trainer, and nutrition coach to provide a highly personalized path toward your goals.

Integrated Service Components
1. Psychotherapy & Weight Wellness

This is the foundation of lasting change. We work together to address the core thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that often undermine weight goals.

  • Focus Areas: Emotional eating, stress management, body image challenges, identifying self-sabotage patterns, and building genuine self-efficacy and resilience.

2. Specialized Bariatric Support

Whether you are contemplating surgery or navigating life afterward, this specialized support ensures you are prepared for the profound changes involved.

  • Pre-Operative Care: Mental and emotional preparation, comprehensive risk assessment, and establishing critical post-op behavioral habits.

  • Post-Operative Success: Counseling to manage life adjustments, relationship changes, "head hunger," and maintaining strict adherence to the new lifestyle required for long-term maintenance.

3. Metabolic Coaching (Nutrition & Personal Training)

Through evidence-based coaching, we integrate movement and nutrition into your life in a sustainable, non-punitive way.

  • Personal Training: Develop a safe, customized movement routine focused on functional fitness, building lean muscle mass, improving metabolism, and making physical activity enjoyable.

  • Nutrition Coaching: Move beyond restrictive diets. Learn to cultivate mindful eating habits, optimize nutrient timing, and build a positive, supportive relationship with food that fuels your body effectively.

Why Choose an Integrated Approach?

By choosing Behavioral Health & Metabolic Coaching, you eliminate the gap between mental health support and physical training. I provide the seamless coordination required to address your emotional needs in therapy while simultaneously applying those learnings to your exercise and eating behaviors. The result is a more effective, compassionate, and ultimately sustainable path to weight wellness.
