PVD Psychological Associates offers therapy and neuropsychological testing for individuals across the lifespan, for a range of issues. We have specializations in college mental health, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, and relationship difficulties and we also see clients for a range of other issues. We offer in-person services in Providence and Barrington, Rhode Island. We also offer online therapy in most states in the country.
We believe the most important aspect of a positive and effective therapy experience is finding the right fit. Depending on your personal preference, therapy history, and what brings you to treatment now, dynamic, behavioral, or another type of therapy may be most appropriate for you. Testing will also be conducted taking a personalized approach that incorporates your input.
We will work with you to understand why you are seeking therapy, and collaboratively construct a treatment plan. This treatment plan will integrate the most appropriate, research-supported interventions for you. Our therapists utilize cutting edge, evidence-based therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness strategies, interpersonal therapy (IPT), psychodynamic therapy, exposure therapy, and habit reversal training.
The other critical factor we take into consideration when matching clients with the right therapist is style. All of the therapists on our treatment team are selected not only for their excellent training and experience but also for their unique personalities and approaches. This variety of options allows us to match you with someone who will be a good fit, as therapy is not a one size fits all experience!
Everything we do is designed to give you the best therapy experience. Our mission is to provide exceptional therapy and testing that is personalized and results driven. We offer evidence-based therapy by a team of highly trained therapists to address anxiety, eating disorders, college and graduate student mental health, trauma, relationship difficulties, and many other concerns.
PVD Psych is a LGBTQIA Affirming practice, and is one of few Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island LGBTQ Safe Zone certified providers. We offer LGBTQIA Affirming therapy and Gender Affirming Therapy. We strongly believe that everyone has the right to safe, respectful, and affirming, high quality care.
At PVD Psych, we see our clients as whole people, recognizing their layers and nuances, and never just as diagnoses. We also focus on healing and transformation as we help clients make the changes they seek. These values are reflected in our logo which is a mandala.
The mandala is a tool with which, for centuries, many have developed self-awareness and sought enlightenment. It is a symbol of wholeness, one’s journey through life, transformation, and healing; we believe that these are the elements that are representative of good therapy. Our mandala is comprised of triangles (the Greek letter Delta) to represent change, as our goal is to help our clients make the real and lasting change that they want.
We provide a range of services including individual therapy, individual and couples therapy, psychological testing, and assessments for mental health, learning disabilities, and neurodevelopmental conditions.
We provide therapy informed by evidence-based practice such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic approaches.
Therapy can benefit anyone facing emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges. During your first session, we’ll help determine how we can best support you.
