Specialized Training
The skills-based system and emotional regulation strategies in DBT were found to be almost universally helpful to clients looking to regain control of their thoughts and emotions. Much like CBT, researchers have shown that DBT is also effective for virtually any type of client – ages 7-60+, all genders and sexual orientations, all races and ethnicities, and more.
CBT has been proven to be effective for many of the most common mental health issues, and the results have been easily replicated with different clients and different therapists time and time again. The combination of clear structure, easy implementation, and effective skills usage outside of the therapy office has made CBT the first choice of many therapists for decades.
ACT helps you embrace your thoughts and feelings, take meaningful action, and build a life aligned with your values. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or life’s challenges, ACT empowers you to thrive.

Dr. Gearing is awesome and the staff is super friendly. I look forward to working with them moving forward.
Completed our intake appointment with Dr. Fearing today and we had an excellent experience. She took time to truly understand the struggles out son is working through, and outlined a plan to support him and us as parents. She was warm, compassionate and very knowledgeable.
This counseling service has by far been the most thorough, evidence-based practice I have used for our family. I appreciate their careful attention to detail and communication for the treatment process!
