Testing and therapy for all stages of life.
Life is full of challenges—work, school, relationships, parenting. If you are feeling stuck or that your challenges are insurmountable, it’s okay to ask for help. Our clinicians help identify the root causes underlying your mental health struggles and help you build a plan to overcome them.
Psychological Testing
The first step towards change is often gaining an in-depth understanding of how your brain functions and your own strengths and weaknesses. Awareness of your unique neuropsychological profile is the foundation for making the changes you want in your life.
Therapy
We create a safe space where you can find new strength, resiliency, and peace. With insight and understanding, we help you build sustainable change for a range of mental health challenges.
Get A Second Opinion
If your current mental health plan doesn’t feel like it’s working, getting a second opinion can offer clarity and a fresh path forward. Find the right next step on your journey.
Children & Adolescents
When your child is struggling, it impacts your whole family. From little kids with big feelings to teens navigating high school, we provide the understanding and treatment to move forward.
Adults
Modern life is demanding—career, family, and relationship stress. It’s even harder when anxiety and mental health challenges are part of the mix. Prioritize yourself and ask for the help you need.
Parents & Families
Parenting is hard. Fold in behavior issues, divorce, mental health struggles, or neurodivergence, and it can be really overwhelming. Let us support your family.
Group Therapy
Guided by expert clinicians, group therapy provides a unique space to find support, guidance, and insights. Let’s connect, share, and grow together.
Specialities we treat.
From anxiety and depression to navigating parenting, relationships, and trauma, we provide therapy that meets you where you are. Rediscover your calm, clarity, and confidence.
Let’s find your therapist.
Our intake coordinator is highly trained to find the best therapist for you. We listen and use empathetic conversations, not automated tools and questionnaires.
1. Call us
We actually answer the phone and respond to inquiries within 24 business hours. We ask questions, get to know you, and really listen to you and your story.

2. Therapist matching
Our intake coordinator has a deep understanding of our clinicians' areas of expertise. We ensure the therapist who fits your needs has the time and ability to work with you.
3. Schedule or referral
When a therapist accepts your case, we schedule a complementary consultation so you can meet the clinician before starting therapy. We believe in responsiveness and transparency and will always provide recommendations on the best path forward within 24 hours.
We never just assign the next available therapist. And we don’t overburden our therapists with large caseloads. But we will always use our connections in the community to help you find great care, even if it’s not with Expand Psychology.
Meet the team.
We’re proud to have a team of certified, licensed, highly-trained psychologists and therapists who provide a range of services across all stages of life.
We are passionate about choosing the best therapist for you and supporting all of our therapists with a team-based approach for consultation and collaboration with experts. We are also proud to work with therapists in training to build the next generation of mental care experts.
