Services
Individual Psychotherapy
Our individual psychotherapy sessions address anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions through personalized treatment plans. Using evidence-based methods like CBT and EFT, we help clients develop coping strategies and self-awareness. Sessions provide a confidential space to explore emotions and build resilience for improved mental well-being.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening intimacy. We address relationship challenges like infidelity, parenting conflicts, and boundary issues using Gottman methods and emotionally focused techniques. Sessions help partners develop mutual understanding and collaborative problem-solving skills for healthier relationships.
Youth & Family Therapy
Specialized therapy for youth and families addresses self-esteem, emotion regulation, and developmental challenges. We support adolescents through identity exploration, school stress, and family dynamics using age-appropriate interventions. Parental guidance sessions help improve communication and create supportive home environments for lasting positive change.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy treats trauma, PTSD, and anxiety by reprocessing distressing memories. Through guided eye movements and bilateral stimulation, clients develop healthier perspectives on traumatic experiences. This structured approach helps reduce symptoms like flashbacks and hypervigilance while promoting emotional healing and resilience.
Consultation Services
We provide clinical supervision and consultation for mental health professionals seeking skill development and case review. Our services include EMDR certification support, trauma-informed practice guidance, and therapeutic technique refinement. Supervision sessions focus on enhancing therapeutic effectiveness while maintaining ethical standards and professional growth.

Hands down the best place to go if you need help. So glad this place was recommended to me. Don't know where the bad review came from couldn't be further from my personal experience. Helped me a lot with some really traumatic stuff that I hadn't been able to get over until I went there. I didn't even think it was fixable but was helped every step of the way. 5 stars.

My therapist at Locke Psychotherapy has helped me above and beyond. By far the most helpful, professional and caring mental health provider I've ever come across. I would not hesitate to recommend Locke Psychotherapist to anyone. My life looks completely different and I have a brighter future thanks to this place. Learned skills and strategies that will serve me well for a lifetime.

Wish there was a zero star option. Would NOT recommend Locke psychotherapy. Were ZERO help to me and never gave tools, techniques or strategies to help my situation. Very disappointed.
