Individual Counseling

Adults
Seniors
Individual counseling is focused on the individual's immediate or near future concerns. Individual counseling may encompass career counseling and planning, grief after a loved one dies, or dealing with problems at a job before they become big. Individual counseling sessions offer many people the support and guidance they need in order to work toward cultivating a healthy, happy life. While working one-on-one, you can make changes in your thoughts and behaviors, get through a big life change without the stress, or do work to make everyday a little easier.

Couples counseling is beneficial for a wide variety of relationships including those who are married, preparing for marriage, divorced, co-parenting, polyamorous, in long-term relationships, in partnerships, in open relationships, and in new relationships. We work with couples to help both partners identify unhelpful patterns of behavior and find new ways of connecting and communicating on a more emotional and empathetic level. Romantic relationships can be a great source of strength, but they can also cause pain and heartache. Whether you currently feel committed to building a better relationship, ambivalent about the future of your relationship, or fear that your relationship is on the brink of collapse—we can help.

Family Counseling
New Families

Multi-Generational Families
Estranged Families
For those looking to strengthen the family system and rebuild relationships, family therapy explores individual behaviors, emotions and responses that contribute to the entire unit.
Family dynamics are complicated. They are constantly changing and evolve over time as the family's circumstances naturally change. Families may face a challenge due to a new addition to the family, the loss of a loved one, a relocation, illness or something else entirely. Regardless of your family structure, we are here to help you understand one another better and to learn to move forward with love and respect for each other. To do so takes time, effort and an openness to both resetting the way you see yourself and your loved ones, as well as ceasing unhelpful patterns of behavior.
