Types of Therapy

Individual Therapy

Individual psychotherapy or counseling provides an opportunity for you to openly express yourself in a safe environment. Our conversation forms the basis of a healing relationship based on respect for you and your needs.  This therapeutic relationship allows you to be heard in a unique way and plays an essential role in our work toward your goals.  Together, we can address your issues in any number of areas, including: 

Grief and Loss                                     Depression (acute and chronic)
Overcoming Trauma                            Family Conflict
Parenting                                             Anxiety and Panic
Mood Disorders                                   Anger
Addictions                                            Life Transitions
Divorce                                                Workplace Stress  

                                            
                                                  

    

Family Therapy

 

Family interaction can be challenging. Whether you have a traditional or non-traditional family, problems arise and often worsen, in part, due to today's high stress lifestyle. Family counseling provides an opportunity for each member of the family to express  thoughts and feelings in a safe environment.
Please don't get the impression we will just be "sharing" thoughts and feelings.  We will tackle real issues and get results. Together, we will identify your family's strengths and weaknesses and resolve issues such as:
 


Parent-child conflicts
Poor family communication 
Defiant, angry, or isolated teens 
Transitions after divorce or separation Household chores and responsibilities
School problems

                                             
         Couples Counseling
 
            Intimate relationships, whether with  
            opposite or same-sex partners, are
            very challenging even without the
            pressures and stress of work, extended
            family and society.  Add in those issues
            and the connection and joy of being 
            a couple can unravel pretty quickly.
            The good news is that the love and
             intimacy can be restored and even
             deepened when ideas, feelings and
             conflicts are brought into the open and
             cleared up.   Among the issues 
             couples often present are:
      
             In-laws and extended family
             Finances and spending
             Parenting differences   
             Communication problems
