Areas of Help:

Individual Therapy (Psychotherapy)

Individual therapy is a unique opportunity to have an unbiased perspective on your experience to help inspire change and improve the quality of your life. Talking to family or friends can sometimes leave us with a feeling of not being fully understood and they have their own reactions and feeling about what we do. Individual therapy gives you a place to explore issues in a non-judgmental, neutral environment where the focus is on you and your well being.

If issues in your life are causing distress or interfering in your daily life, this may be the day to schedule an appointment.  Distress can mean negative thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or even a bodily sensation such as pain or fatigue. It is important not to wait until symptoms become severe before going to therapy. It may be best to seek therapy if you are often unhappy or feel overwhelmed and hopeless about issues in your life. Therapy can also help if you cannot focus on work or school, experience addiction, or feel like hurting yourself or someone else.

Pre-Marital Counseling

Couples who engage in Premarital Counseling are able to identify and address potential areas of conflict early on in their relationship, before those issues become serious concerns. Couples will learn effective strategies in areas such as Communication, Conflict Resolution, Parenting, Finances, Spiritual Beliefs, and Relationship Roles among other things.  You may also find that premarital counseling can help you better understand expectations about marriage and address any significant differences in a safe and neutral environment.  

Areas for exploration that may cause conflict later on may include: finances, child-rearing methods, career goals, and family dynamics. By working through these issues in the early stages of a relationship a plan can be developed to address them in the years to come.

A study published in the Journal of Family Psychology, which was conducted via random telephone survey, showed couples who had participated in some type of premarital counseling program were 31% less likely to divorce.  If your preparing for your marriage, this may be the day to schedule an appointment!

Marriage Counseling & Couples Therapy

All couples experience tension or conflict at some point in their relationship. Marriage counseling and couples therapy is a form of therapy that supports people in intimate relationships who may be considering separation or seeking to improve understanding and intimacy. The “relationship is the client”, the focus of the counseling, but each individual in the relationship needs to put in some work to gain better self-awareness and learn more about each other while acquiring healthy problem-solving skills. Over time, the goal is to become a better listeners and communicators, learning to support each other new ways.

Positive results often depend on the couple’s motivation and commitment to the process and it is not uncommon for conflict to arise in sessions. Counseling is often short-term, though healing a relationship may take more time. Ultimately, therapy will continue for as long as the couple is committed to completing the treatment plan or until a resolution is reached.

Many couples are unsure when to seek marriage or couples therapy. Don’t delay until your issue becomes a crisis. If there is discontent in your relationship and you are experiencing tension or conflict, this may be the day to schedule an appointment!

Family Counseling

Family counseling can help family members improve communications and resolve conflict when stressful events strain the family relationship. Family counseling’s goal is to promote understanding and collaboration among family members in order to solve the problems of one or more individuals.  It is often short term.  It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate.

Family counseling doesn’t automatically solve your family’s issues or make an unpleasant situation disappear. But it can help family members to understand one another better by providing skills to cope with challenging situations more effectively.

Pastoral Counseling

Pastoral Counseling integrates both psychological and theological concepts, incorporating faith, spirituality, and theology into the counseling model. A truly holistic approach where spiritual exploration and support can foster wholeness, healing, and growth.

Beyond providing psychotherapy, resources such as prayer, scripture, and “church” are used to help guide people on their journey toward transcendence, transformation, and greater connection to others.

TeleTherapy/TeleHealth

TeleHealth or on-line therapy provides therapy through a live, secure, and interactive video connection over the internet, or it could be as simple as a phone call. Studies show that clinical outcomes for mental health care delivered remotely are just as effective as face-to-face treatment:

“What we’ve seen is that telehealth is essentially just as effective as face-to-face psychotherapy—and retention rates are higher,” says David Mohr, PhD, director of the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, who has spent his career studying telepsychology and digital mental health.
