Stronger together.
Advance Psychotherapy Practice, was created in 2019 to bring a group of dynamic therapists together to provide a wide range of treatment modalities to the greater Amherst area. We provide therapy to all age ranges - from infants to elders, and use the latest research-based treatments such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
All of our therapists have undergone specialized training as part of their individual practices in order to provide treatment to clients with measurable results.
