Every relationship hits difficult stretches—communication breakdowns, growing apart, conflict patterns, or major life transitions. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, working through a rough season, or recovering from a serious rupture, couples therapy at Oak Tree Behavioral Services can help you reconnect.
Signs You May Benefit from Marital & Premarital Counseling Support
The same arguments happening over and over
Feeling more like roommates than partners
Emotional or physical disconnection
Infidelity or breach of trust
Major life disagreements (finances, parenting, intimacy)
Wanting to start marriage on the right foundation
Our Treatment Approach
We use Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Imago Therapy techniques depending on what fits your relationship best. Premarital counseling proactively builds communication skills, aligns expectations, and identifies potential friction points before they become problems.
Sometimes you don’t need to process trauma—you need a skilled partner to help you clarify your values, set meaningful goals, and stop getting in your own way. Our clinician-led life coaching blends therapeutic insight with forward-focused action planning to help you live with intention.
Signs You May Benefit from Life Coaching Support
Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or directionless
Difficulty making decisions or committing to goals
Procrastination or self-sabotaging patterns
Wanting more from life but not knowing where to start
Life transitions without clear next steps
Low motivation or persistent sense of mediocrity
Our Treatment Approach
Unlike coaches without clinical training, our therapist-coaches understand how psychological patterns—anxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure—sabotage progress. We combine evidence-based techniques with practical goal-setting to create real, lasting momentum.
Infertility is a profound loss that’s often invisible to the outside world. The emotional toll of diagnosis, treatment cycles, miscarriages, and uncertainty can be devastating. Oak Tree Behavioral Services provides a space where your grief and anxiety are fully understood—not minimized.

We provide individual and couples therapy tailored to the unique emotional landscape of infertility. Therapy addresses grief, anxiety, relationship strain, and the existential questions that infertility raises about identity and the future.
Grief is the price of love—and there is no wrong way to grieve. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a job, a pregnancy, or a sense of who you are, grief counseling provides a space to process your loss and find a way forward. Our therapists offer compassionate, skilled support for all kinds of grief.

Grief that feels stuck or gets worse over time
Our Treatment Approach
We draw on the Dual Process Model of grief, Complicated Grief Treatment (CGT), and meaning-making approaches. We honor your unique grief process rather than imposing a timeline or set of ‘stages’ you must follow.
Problem gambling is a behavioral addiction that can quietly devastate finances, relationships, and self-worth before it’s recognized as a problem.

Most bariatric surgery programs require a pre-surgical psychological evaluation to assess your readiness for surgery and long-term success.

Emotional disturbance refers to a range of conditions that affect emotional regulation, behavior, and functioning—often showing up in school, work, and relationships.

Eating disorders are among the most serious and misunderstood mental health conditions—and one of the most treatable when the right support is in place.

Dual diagnosis—also called co-occurring disorders—means having both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time. Treating only one while ignoring the other rarely works. Oak Tree Behavioral Services specializes in integrated care that addresses both simultaneously.
Signs You May Benefit from Dual Diagnosis Support
Using substances to cope with depression, anxiety, or trauma
Mental health symptoms that worsen with use
Multiple failed attempts at recovery
Feeling ‘different’ or struggling since adolescence
Instability in relationships, housing, or employment
Prior psychiatric hospitalization combined with substance use
Our Treatment Approach
We provide integrated outpatient therapy that addresses mental health and substance use in every session—not in silos. Our clinicians are trained in trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, and addiction, and coordinate with prescribers when psychiatric medication is part of your care plan.
