Clinical Programs for Technology Overuse & Screen Addiction

Are You Wondering if Your Screen Time is Problematic?


Whether you are dealing with the exhaustion of technology burnout, struggling to break compulsive screen habits, or fighting what feels like a technology addiction, lasting change is possible. Specialized individual therapy, structured group cohort programs, and tailored clinical intensives are available to help you regain emotional equilibrium, restore physiological balance, and reclaim your time and energy.


Grounded in nearly 30 years of clinical experience, the Technology Treatment Practice provides personalized clinical therapy exclusively for adults who want clearer boundaries with technology and want to replace passive scrolling or streaming with intentional living. 


The practice also offers advanced consultation and training for medical professionals and licensed therapists navigating the intersection of technology and mental health care.


Making Sense of Your Screen Time: The Spectrum of Digital Overuse 

Digital overuse manifests differently for everyone. Therapeutic approaches at the Technology Treatment Practice are specifically designed to address three distinct areas of concern: 


  • Bad Digital Habits: Resolve cognitive fatigue and physiological exhaustion, calm nervous system overstimulation, and restore both mental clarity and physical balance. 
  • Compulsive Use: Break automatic screen habits and reclaim cognitive autonomy from incessant device checking driven by internal discomfort, fatigue, or the urge to escape stress. 
  • Technology and Screen Addiction: Address deeply entrenched behavioral patterns where screen immersion continues despite ongoing negative impacts on sleep, physical health, work, or relationships. 

Pathways to Intentional Technology Use 


Specialized clinical care integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic practices into individually tailored treatment plans and structured cohorts. 

The goal is not just to put the phone down, but to build a life that does not require a digital escape.
