Counseling Services

(1) Individual

We provide services for ADHD, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD,) and other general emotional and relationship difficulties. One-on-one counseling offers clients an opportunity to learn more about themselves through the exploration of life patterns, family history, coping styles, and current relationships. Combined with an educational and action-oriented approach, this form of counseling encourages personal responsibility while promoting self-empowerment.

(2) Life Empowerment Group

We offer a year-long committed group focused on transformational change using mentoring, executive coaching and counseling. This weekly group focuses on goals each member creates individually through an executive coaching process. Each member learns how to stay in front of their goals and will be challenged at new levels. In the year-long commitment, members create a focus of structure, routine and consistency to face even the most daunting of tasks. If you are looking for a group that will support, challenge and help you reach new potential, then this group is for you.

(3) Couples

The philosophy for couples therapy centers around the theoretical base of Harville Hendrix and what is called the Imago approach. This approach focuses on the principle that both individuals in a relationship project an image onto each other from their own life history. Many times this projection can cause disruption in the relationship. Developing an understanding of how an individual's life history influences the relationship helps to increase personal accountability. Couples counseling further focuses on developing strong communication, fair rules about conflict management, and strategies to increase connection, intimacy and trust in the relationship. An educational approach is used when issues such as ADHD, depression, addiction, or post traumatic stress affects one or both individual's in the relationship.

(4) Parenting

Parenting sessions use a child-centered approach that allows a child choices, yet maintains the parental structure as the stabilizing component. A strong behavioral reward-based model is used to develop structure, accountability and discipline for the entire household. Developmental theory is utilized to help parents understand what norms can be expected at what age and how to support each developmental phase of growth. A self-reflective model also assists the parents in understanding how their own childhood may affect their parenting style and knowing when personal emotions are overriding effective parenting. Accountability, communication, emotional safety, how to have fun, and fairness are key areas of focus.
