Mission
It is the mission of The Current Therapy Services to provide safe, quality and effective services to vulnerable and underserved populations, focusing most of its treatment, training, and awareness efforts on those struggling with eating disorders.
The Current was created for the resilient. Sometimes our people have suffered painful experiences in childhood or in their adult life that they can’t stop thinking about. They find it hard to sleep without nightmares or they feel angry or sad much of the time. They may abuse substances or have disordered eating in order to cope. In relationships, they often feel misunderstood, hurt, angry, or afraid that others don’t or won’t like them.
They have pain so deep that they make every effort to dull it, suppress it or avoid it so that they can continue functioning in their jobs, in school, for their families or whoever else depends on them. It is normal to try to move away from the thing that is causing you emotional pain, we do it for physical pain all the time. Except our instinct to block or move away from emotional pain can actually make it worse. At The Current, we focus on these painful feelings and work to help you cope through them, tolerate them change them or express them, rather than avoid them, and we teach you specific skills for doing so.
You can feel better! You can think, feel and act in ways that feel truly aligned with your values and your authentic self. We know you feel stuck and overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated. You’ve been through incredibly painful experiences in your life. Up to this point, you have done the absolute best you could to cope. But you can learn more effective ways of dealing, and we can help!
Maybe you have been in therapy for years, perhaps you felt invalidated, misunderstood or that it wasn’t quite hitting the nail on the head for you. Or maybe you’ve never tried therapy before, you keep paddling against the current, trying to do it all on your own. You don’t have to keep being dragged further from shore. Let us throw you a lifeline. We can help you build a safe, calm life on the banks and learn to ride the waves when you need to.
We offer both the convenience of telehealth and safe in person services. We provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults. We have a comprehensive Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy program. You can read more about our specialties here.
Your time and resources are valuable. We will listen to your needs and match you with one of our experienced therapists. If you need something different than what we specialize in, we will do our best to connect you with someone else in the community who can effectively help you.
