Individual Counseling

One-on-one counseling for adults and adolescents is tailored to unique needs and circumstances. Professionally trained therapists provide confidential support and tools to help you grow as a person or work through issues that you feel are holding you back.

Counseling can lessen the effects of common conditions such as moderate depression, anxiety, fear, and worry. Tools will be provided to help you cope with feelings such as “less-than,” or “different-from.” Most people will find that they can overcome past traumas to live healthier, happier lives. Others will find that the collaborative, supportive counseling environment helps to serve as a foundation for finally living life as their most authentic selves.

Couples Counseling

Couples counseling is a type of psychotherapy available to couples of all sexes and genders who desire to improve their relationship. Couples typically seek counseling to work on a specific relationship area (communication, behaviors, dysfunctional dynamics). Others seek counseling before marriage, divorce, or life changes such as a move or pending parenthood.

Psychotherapy for Families

Families face myriad issues together. From blending multiple families into one to coping with family losses to struggling to communicate in a way that is healthy for all members, there are unlimited reasons why families seek psychotherapy together. Family therapy is custom-tailored to address your family’s unique struggles, concerns, and goals.

Therapy for Children & Teenagers

Emotions can be super-charged for younger people, often making the journey to adulthood frightening, confusing, stressful, and depressing. Therapy for children, tweens, and teens can help young people to learn to manage and cope with these emotions while empowering them with the tools they need to make this transition less overwhelming. Therapies range from play therapy to cognitive behavioral therapy and many others.
