Counselling for individuals, children and couples.
Specialties
Each of us is the sum of our experiences in life. The secret is discovering how those experiences interrelate. We offer professional counseling in the areas described below.
Child & Adolescent Therapy
Child and adolescent therapy is like individual therapy, which involves one-on-one between the mental health therapist and the child or teen, however can include the parent/guardian and/or family at times. This form of therapy can help the child, teen, or family understand and resolve problems, modify behavior, and teach various approaches to help make positive changes in behaviors and their lives.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is the process of bringing a couple together in an open, non-biased, non-judgmental atmosphere mediated by a therapist or counselor to help the couple resolve issues and conflicts that they have not been able to handle effectively on their own. Couples therapy is people involved in a romantic relationship and includes all variations of couples including status, age, gender, and/or sexual orientation.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy, also known as talk therapy, is the process through which individuals work one-on-one with a trained mental health therapist or clinician to increase understanding of one’s thought and behavior patterns to help increase function and well-being. Individual therapy includes various therapeutic approaches that assist the individual in effectively identifying and managing stressors and interpersonal difficulties. The individual may develop the abilities to set goals, develop healthy boundaries, make healthy decisions and become more self-aware while learning and implementing self-care.
Co-Parenting/Child Custody Coaching
Co-Parenting/Child Custody Coaching is the interactive process where a counselor, as an impartial third party, assists the parents with healthy co-parenting techniques, visitation supervision, and child custody agreements.
Teletherapy
Teletherapy is therapy or counseling delivered through technology like video conferencing and involves virtual interaction between the therapist and patient remotely through use of computer, tablet, and smartphones. Teletherapy allows you to have a session from the comfort and privacy of the location you choose. Teletherapy is safe, secure, and convenient and may be how you wish to have each of your sessions or may be a hybrid with in-person contact.
Family Therapy
Family therapy or family counseling is a method to develop and maintain healthy and functional family relationships. The goal of family therapy is to identify and address problems and to develop and maintain healthy boundaries, facilitate cohesion and communication, and promote problem-solving to improve the overall positive function of family dynamics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is an intervention treatment therapy that helps you recognize and explore your negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and aims to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions, primarily depression and anxiety disorders.
