Individual Counseling

Do you find yourself having trouble adjusting to a change in your life, struggling in relationships, or feeling anxious, sad, angry, or stressed? Do you suspect that things from your past may be getting in the way of you being happy in the present? There are many reasons people choose to seek out individual therapy. Our therapists are here to listen and help guide you through any difficult transition or stressful time.

Parent/Family/Child Counseling

Has your family/child hit a rough spot and could use a little insightful direction? Do you need to talk about what is going on in your family and what it all may mean? Sometimes it is helpful to talk through the issues and behaviors with an experienced professional. Our therapists are skilled in helping children and families with a variety of concerns, including anxiety and depression, sibling issues, trauma, grief and loss, parenting, attachment and adoption issues, and behavioral concerns.

Are you and your partner struggling in your relationship? Whether your relationship is brand new or you’ve been together for years, all couples go through rough patches. When you’re having problems that seem tough to solve on your own, it can be helpful to sort through the issues with a neutral professional. Our therapists can help you identify old patterns that aren’t working, build healthy communication and conflict resolution skills, and connect to each other again.
