Individual Counseling
Individual psychotherapy (also known as individual therapy or counseling) is the relationship between one person and a licensed therapist with the goal of provoking change and improving the patient’s quality of life. Individual therapy is used to treat most mental disorders and resolve issues in numerous areas including but not limited to self-esteem, depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, substance abuse/addiction, and stress management. Therapy involves many techniques and provides patients with the tools to self-manage throughout the therapeutic relationship and maintain after the relationship is finished. Patients will develop insight about their behaviors, thought processes, and coping mechanisms as well as problem-solving skills, communication style and alternatives to negative behaviors and thoughts. Therapists will help their patients make lifestyle changes that will lessen the intensity, frequency, and duration of their concerns and disorders.
Couples Counseling
Couples therapy (or “couples counseling”) typically occurs between two individuals who are in a romantic relationship. The couple may be married, engaged to be married, or dating. The purpose of couple’s therapy is to improve communication, provoke a change in emotions and use them to address recurring, unmanageable problems within a relationship’s history. Patients learn to acknowledge the personality, values (both spiritual and societal), and perception of their partners. Couples seek counseling for many different issues. Some of the most common being infidelity, poor/different communication styles, unmet emotional needs, financial concerns, and differences about child rearing. Every couple goes through periods of rough patches due to ego, jealousy, insecure attachment, anger, etc. therefore engaging in couples therapy can be extremely beneficial.
Family Counseling
If your family is going through a tough time -- whether it's from stress, anger, or grief -- family therapy can make a difference in the family unit’s relationship, trust, communication, bond, and understanding for one another. While members may have a different point of view of counseling, taking the first step to be open and try to trust the process is a huge initiative.
adolescent counseling
The journey through being a teenager and young adult can not only be overwhelming for the youth, but also for their family. Between insecurities, self-esteem, body image, education struggles and negative peer interactions, providing your adolescent with a safe place and person to freely open up to outside of the family can make all the difference in how they handle difficult situations now and moving forward in their lives.
