Psychotherapy (various modalities) 

Therapy consists of an initial period of gaining understanding and a mutual trust and focus. We then work to increase insight and challenge those patterns that continue to cause dysfunction. Dr. Ahumada will work with you to determine the optimal frequency of these appointments, although they commonly occur on a weekly or twice-weekly basis. Therapy may be short-term or long-term in nature.

All ages, Typically 45 minutes, $300 per session
