We Offer Mental Health Counseling In The Central Valley
Abalance Client-Centered Counseling is a Group Private Practice providing quality Teletherapy counseling to people in the Central Valley. We are a team of dedicated and caring professionals that seek to provide evidenced-based and proven techniques to meet your treatment goals. We use a unique and innovative client-centered approach to get the best results in each session.
(CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
(DBT) Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavior therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy that began with efforts to treat borderline personality disorder. There is evidence that DBT can be useful in treating mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm.
(TF-CBT) Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma and their parents or caregivers. Research shows that TF-CBT successfully resolves a broad array of emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with single, multiple and complex trauma experiences.
We Offer Evidence-based Treatment For Mental Health Issues
We provide exceptional mental health care for mild and moderate treatment to adults, children, and adolescents in Modesto, Merced, and Turlock. We accept HPSJ and CCAH Insurances.
Depression Treatment
Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home.
Anxiety Issues
Anxiety disorders are the most common of mental disorders and affect nearly 30 percent of adults at some point in their lives. Anxiety disorders can get better with professional treatment and effective therapies are available.
Trauma Therapy
People who experienced a trauma may have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; and feel sadness, fear or anger - ultimately detached or estranged from other people.

Professional Therapy with a Client Focus
Excellent Care Providing a Path to Long Lasting Healing
There are times in life when we can feel off balance and can't seem to snap out of it. When our own natural support system just isn't enough, it may be time to reach out to a professional counselor to start the process of therapy. We have created a safe, comfortable and professional environment to discuss the issues in your life. We recognize the importance of a good therapeutic relationship and strive to build a positive rapport. We treat each client with respect and dignity.
