Based in Greenwich CT, Remiges is a boutique online and in-person practice helping teens and emerging adults through coming of age with sensible and understandable approaches. Clients learn how to navigate situations more skillfully and develop meaningful purpose.
By providing accessible, contemporary, and impactful treatment, the goal is to make therapy refreshing, engaging, and something to look forward to, rather than a mandate, for clients.
Sarah Kencel specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Treatment comprehensively combines traditional psychodynamic techniques (talk-therapy), behavior modification and cognitive restructuring.
A digital whiteboard is used to administer traditional behavioral interventions in an online setting. This ensures clients receive consistent, exceptional care wherever they may be and provides record of what was worked on in sessions, keeping track of progress in treatment.
If within the treatment plan, collaboration with outside clinicians and referrals are also provided.
