What Is Shame Jail?
We don’t talk enough about true shame — the quiet, physical kind that makes you want to disappear. At Clinique Altera, we call it Shame Jail: the nervous system’s way of protecting connection when it doesn’t feel safe. Learn how therapy can help you understand this part of yourself and gently find your way back into connection.
ADHD Coaching and Therapy
At Clinic Altera, we see ADHD as a difference in rhythm, not a deficit. Our coaching and therapy services help children, teens, and adults understand their unique minds, build compassionate systems that work for them, and move from self-criticism to self-trust. Our team offers trauma-informed, Queer- and BIPOC-affirming care that celebrates neurodiversity in all its forms.
Psychotherapy Intensives: A Safe Experiential Container
At Clinique Altera, psychotherapy intensives offer a focused, immersive alternative to weekly therapy. By dedicating extended time to the work, we can move beyond surface-level coping and into deeper patterns with greater continuity and care.
Rooted in a trauma-informed, relational, and somatic approach, intensives are tailored to support meaningful shifts—whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck. It’s a space to slow down, go deeper, and begin to move forward differently.
Anger Management Coaching and Therapy: Understanding the Story Beneath the Reaction
At Clinic Altera, we see anger not as something to suppress, but as something to understand. Our licensed social workers and therapists provide trauma-informed, compassionate anger management coaching and therapy for adults and teens — including court-mandated and psychosocial assessments. We help you explore the story behind your reactions, regulate your nervous system, and rebuild connection with yourself and others.
