Is therapy right for me?

Individual, couples and family counseling

Individual Therapy: Individual counseling can take many approaches and cover many issues. Some come simply for self-growth while others come to combat deep depression or disabling anxiety.  We are here and ready to work with whatever needs you present with.  Sometimes clients come knowing “somethings not right” but are unaware what it is.  We work together to unpack the situation and get to the root of the issue then resolve it.
 
Couples Therapy:  When your relationship gets too heated, or feels cool and aloof it’s time to do some work.  When you fear talking about it, it needs to be talked about.  The goal and approach in couples counseling is to find out what the enemy is, not who.  No one will be blamed or made the victim.  You are both victims to a situation or interactional pattern that is no longer working for you. You are both responsible for catching this pattern and working together to change it.  We will help you recognize when the pattern plays out and how you each can handle it differently based on your personal attachment style.  By separating out the pattern of interaction we can work together to resolve it with less hurt feelings creating a stronger alliance and bond between partners.
 
Family Counseling:  When family conflict gets the better of us whether it be parent-child with immediate family or extends to include grandparents or adult child and parent issues we can help you work with it.  Family therapy work may consist of some individual sessions to tease out the interaction patterns and some family group work.  We will assess strengths and struggles to plan for changes interaction.
