Services Provided

Individual Therapy

One on one with your therapist creates the therapeutic relationship that is integral in making progress towards becoming the best version of yourself. With hard work and a readiness to change, it is possible.

Couples Therapy

As a team, couples and the therapist work together to achieve their stated goals. The journey takes work and can be very fruitful. Couples work may also require individual counseling in order to resolve personal issues. Through the counseling process, each individual will make choices and decisions that are best for them.

Treatment Specialties

Anxiety

Do you feel like you worry about everything and it gets in the way of your work, family, and social situations? Some stress is healthy and useful. Too much stress, however, can lead to anxiety that becomes difficult to manage. Through the utilization of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), let us help you process your anxiety, so that you are able to develop the skills you need to get through those difficult episodes.

Depression

Have you been feeling sad for a longer period of time than is usual for you? Do you lack motivation? Have you lost interest in activities that used to bring you joy?Depression is characterized by these, and other persistent feelings. Remember that you are not your thoughts. Let us help you regain your focus and improve your well-being!

Relationships

Are you having trouble with your relationship? If it feels like you're the only one, you're not. Relationships take work. They don't just automatically fix themselves, and if you let issues get too far along without working to resolve them, it can be a very slippery slope. Let us help you. Using some of the evidence based Gottman Method practices, we can show you how to get your relationship back on track and headed in the right direction.

Substance Abuse

The progression of substance use involves stages beginning with experimentation and ending with addiction. The question is, where are you in this progression and, more importantly, where are you going? Through Motivational Interviewing and the Stages of Change, let us help you work through your substance issues.

Anger Management

Anger is a normal and natural emotion. It is energy. It is ok to be angry. It is what we do with our anger that can sometimes get us in trouble. We can lose a whole lot if we can't control our anger. We can lose our job, our family, and our freedom. If people say you have anger issues, then it might be time to get some help.

Life Coaching

Do you feel like you've lost direction in your life? Whether professionally or personally, life transitions and decision-making sometimes cause problems for us and take us off our path. For some, that path becomes confusing. If this is how you're feelng, you're not alone. Reach out to us today to regain the focus and direction you desire.

common questions

How does therapy work?

Counseling therapy is different from sitting and talking to a friend. It’s an opportunity to be heard, maybe for the first time. You will be challenged to make changes that will positively impact your life. Generally, you would come in for an initial intake session where we would discuss treatment goals and a course of action. We would then determine the need for subsequent sessions. We utilize empirically sound, evidence based therapies that are intentional to your specific desired outcomes.

How long is each session?

Each counseling session will last between 45 minutes.

Do you take insurance?

Currently, we are a private pay practice.

How often would I come to therapy?

Counseling sessions are scheduled on a weekly/biweekly basis.

Is what we discuss in sessions confidential?

Yes! Most everything discussed during a counseling session is held in confidence. Discovery of certain information during a counseling session will require notifications to outside agencies for the safety of the individual and others (harm to self, harm to others, court ordered subpoena).

How do I schedule an appointment?

There are several options available to set up an appointment with us. Use the ‘request an appointment’ or ‘contact us today’ buttons located throughout our website, email, or by calling us directly (check out our ‘contact’ page for phone numbers and our online scheduler).

What is the cost of therapy?

Counseling session fees are $85/session. See our ‘Fees & Insurance’ page for fees for additional services.

How do I know if a therapist is right for me?

The therapeutic relationship is critical for therapy to be beneficial and productive. Ask your therapist questions about how they intend to help you. Ask them about their expertise in the area of concern. You and your therapist are a team and need to work together for therapy goals to be achieved. Are we the right fit for you? Call us today for a FREE 15 minute consultation to find out!

How many sessions will I need?

The number of counseling sessions needed will vary from person to person depending on treatment plans.
