Our Staff Philosophy
Our providers have a variety of skills, expertise, and training. You will most often be assigned a primary therapist or coach to guide your treatment; and secondary therapist or coach designed to focus on measuring, monitoring, and increasing your knowledge bases about your concerns or goals. Sometimes you might also be assigned, a senior clinician or other kinds of specialist, depending on your goals and presenting concerns. We will make this process as seamless and organized so that you can focus on your care. Our team approach is customized to your desired goals, personality, and your needs--you guide the process and tell us what works and what does not. If our practice recommendations, of the team approach does not fit your style we make every effort to accommodate your request, however we ask that you trust our approach, as it is not your typical psychotherapy or coaching approach. We ask that you try it as a new cutting edge way to get you to your goals--let us partner with you to make your dream happen!
Therefore, we often assign several staff types to serve your needs, whether they are in-house staff, or consultant staff. We also refer you to outside practitioners whenever possible for collaborative care. Also, as a courtesy to the financial needs of our clients, our staff is a mix of professionals who take private insurance and those who do not. We have this arrangement so that we have the flexibility to work with clients on sliding fee scales, to meet the needs of differing client populations, particularly those that are uninsured or underinsured (with high co-pays or deductibles).
Please proceed to see the bios of our in-house staff (those who maintain a routine weekly schedule with clients) and consultant staff (those who are brought in for time periods or specialty consultation). Our staff members are listed by type and by their primary skills/expertise/training. A description of each and how we utilize each staff type is below.

Counselors (psychotherapists) usually focus on the treatment and intervention of mental health issues--they are equipped to focus on past, present, and future concerns and goals. They usually help clients develop insight into the "whys" about their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
Coaches focus on the here and now, and support the counselors to monitor and measure goals. At ITS we also utilize coaches to do psychoeducation which supports the clients insights into which skills are needed to overcome challenges or increase effectiveness in life and relationships.
Consultants usually are assigned to major projects, organizations, or associations to achieve business goals for individuals or organizations. Another difference is that consultants are usually only assigned for a finite period of time--where at ITS counselors and coaches are usually assigned for the duration of a client's stay with our practice.
