Healthy relationships don’t just happen! This class series will teach you the skills and tools you need to improve every aspect of your relationship. The Healthy and Happy Relationships course is available live (in person or online) and as a pre-recorded, self-paced online course (coming soon.)

CORE
Across Dr. Slade’s many years of research, therapy, and education, personality has always intrigued him. Over time as a therapist, he didn’t feel that any one of the existing personality models accurately depicted what he saw working with clients. He began conducting clinical research. CORE is a temperament model that is the result of that research! It investigates the nature part of personality–the part that does not change–and helps explain not just WHAT we do, but WHY we do it.
TMS
TMS is a non-medication depression treatment that is offered at Denim’s office! It is non-invasive, has almost no side effects, and is covered by most insurance. TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity. Our clinic has a success rate of over 90% in relieving depression symptoms!
Coaching
Denim offers 3 different levels of coaching so that he can effectively work with people at a level that works for them. From a self-paced online course to intensive one-on-one Ph.D. level coaching, Dr. Slade incorporates his expertise into each session. Coaching includes homework and between-session support to help clients make the lifestyle changes to help them live healthy and happy lives.
