COUNSELING

|
We know how difficult it can be see things clearly for yourself while you’re struggling. We see ourselves as mirrors to reflect back the big picture that we see. In doing so, we can help you discover things that may have previously gone entirely unnoticed. We work individually with adults, adolescents and children. We also work with couples and families. Find out more here.
Adults
Individual therapy with adults involves learning to relate or connect to your self. It is a personal process of deeply listening to, learning from, and working with the wounded parts of oneself. Becoming conscious of one’s inner world and caring for oneself helps a person to heal, change, and grow.
Couples
Relationships require a bit of work at times. Therapy helps provide an objective perspective with the purpose of helping people learn and understand how to connect with each other in a healthy way. We use personality analysis to help each person understand individual differences and similarities. Interpersonal skills often must be learned to effectively communicate needs to one another and work together to handle disagreements and make decisions in a way that helps the relationship grow.

Adolescents
Adolescents are often overwhelmed and even confused by the onslaught of complex feelings that come as they move toward adulthood. For teens, most conflicts involve differences between family members or issues over expectations of parents. We assist teens in learning how to regulate emotions and effectively ask for what they need from others. Personality testing helps us to understand and to teach adolescents more about their strengths to improve their self esteem.
Children
Therapy can help kids develop problem-solving skills and also teach them the value of seeking help. We help kids and families cope with stress and a variety of emotional and behavioral issues.
Children don't have the language yet to express how they're feeling verbally. They communicate through action and symbol. Art and play therapy provide a means of understanding how children are feeling and through these methods, they can also learn how to cope with these feelings. |
Family and Friends
Sometimes friends are your family and family are your friends. It's an innate need to feel a sense of belonging to a clan. Strength in numbers. When there is conflict within this support structure, all members feel the impact.
People who participate in friends or family therapy sessions learn more about themselves and about how they relate to one another. We all thrive in healthy and supportive relationships. Unfortunately, many of us were never taught how to interact with others effectively, while also being true to ourselves. Mending and strengthening these relationships can make all the difference in overall, long term healing and growth for the individual. |
