ABOUT
The Center, founded in 2012 by Christine Benvenuto, MFT and Heather Macbeth, MFT, has evolved beyond its roots while maintaining a firm foundation in DBT. We incorporate other evidenced-based, experiential, and depth-oriented approaches, including working within expanded states of consciousness via Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. We have an integrative Team that meets weekly where we receive regular outside training and consultation so that we can provide state of the art clinical services.
Given our rapidly changing world, with multiple demands on our attention while being faced with polarizing societal forces, we aim to support you to stay in touch with your intuitive wisdom while teaching skills to maintain alignment and balance. We believe that all people who are sincere in their motivation and commitment can heal, grow and create a life of meaning, purpose and joy. We find that the synergies between DBT and Ketamine are reinforcing of well-being, individually and collectively.
We are grateful to all of the mentors, consultants, team members and clients over the last many years as they have been part of the foundation that supports who we are today.
We welcome individuals from all walks of life who are seeking support, guidance, and a safe space to explore their mental and emotional well-being. We understand that the decision to seek therapy can be both courageous and daunting, but we are here to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you can begin this journey.
Folks seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons. You may be navigating major life transitions, like career changes, relationship challenges, or losing a loved one. You may have already identified that you are moving through particular internal challenges like trauma, depression, anxiety or low self-esteem. Or maybe you are already aware of unhealthy coping behaviors and habits that you are ready to let go of with the right type of understanding and support. Therapy should always infuse your life with greater balance and well-being.
Regardless of the reason you seek our services, our team of experienced and empathetic therapists is dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking individual, group, or couples/family therapy, our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where you can feel comfortable opening up and exploring the areas of your life that need attention.
We work with individuals with a wide range of life experiences, values, challenges, and needs. The basis of anyone who seeks services from us is a desire to see positive changes in their lives. Some come from lives that are full and satisfying on the surface.
You are a human being doing their best in a challenging world. You have your own past experiences, values, challenges, and desires. You are a unique individual and should be seen as one.
