-
Are you having trouble finding joy in life?
So many people go through times in life when even things they really enjoyed doing (hobbies) do not bring them joy anymore. We can help you start enjoying life again.
-
Do you need someone outside of family and friends to talk to about your stressors or big decisions you need to make?
Those close to us are not always good at helping us work through things, because they are too close to the situation. They also don’t have specialized training to help us process emotions in a health way. This is why many people seek out a counselor to help them work through emotions, big decisions and current life stressors.
-
Are you isolating yourself or choosing to stay home when you are invited to do things with friends or family?
Many people saw an increase in this after the COVID pandemic started. They got comfortable just being home. Other people have struggled with this long before COVID. For some it was due to anxiety or depression, but for others they were never really sure why. That is why working with a counselor can help. We can help figure out where it is coming from and then work on coping skills to help you overcome the unwanted reactions.
-
Do do you feel like you need to learn to say no or set healthy boundaries in relationships?
Many people come to us to figure out how to put boundaries in place in relationships, whether you feel like you are just living your life for others or being taken advantage of. Let us help you manage how to get what you want out of the relationships in your life, while still giving others what they need from you.
-
Are you feeling like you don't know who you are anymore?
Life can get so busy we forget to focus on us! The hour of therapy is designed for you to use however you need to discover you again.
-
Parenting issues, relationship problems, trauma, dealing with medical concerns or symptoms are some of the other issue we have been helping clients process.
We are all trained to help with anything you are struggling with. Each of us also have specilized training in some areas so I encourage you to look at our team profiles to see who you think might be the best fit for you.
Our Approach
We are a group of master-level therapists (licensed counselors and clinical social workers) who provide quality mental health care. We provide individual, couples, family and group therapy via telehealth currently. Once our new location opens we will offer in person and telehealth services in a non-judgmental environment. We will also be offering more services at that time to help improve your overall physical and mental wellness.

Our services

Individual Therapy
This therapy is one on one with you and your counselor. You will have a full assessment at your first session to determine your needs and goals. They you and your counselor will work together on a plan to help you achieve those goals, whether that has to do with feeling better (less symptoms) or working towards making changes in your life to be happier.
-
Couples Counseling
Your therapist can help you learn to communicate and improve your relationship at all stages. We are here for both of you so you can hear and understand each others needs in the relationship. It is not about right or wrong in couples counseling just finding a solution or compromise so you can live your happily ever after again!
-
Group Therapy, Classes, and Seminars
Our Group therapy sessions are facilitated in a classroom style, to reduce pressure to share your personal information. This allows everyone to gain the skills being covered and only share what each individual feels comfortable. We will also offer classes and seminars on different topics periodically that will be open to everyone. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter, as some will be at no cost!

Functional Medicine
This is a new service due to the link between physical health and mental health. Although you don’t have to be a counseling client to start the functional medicine program. It is all about getting your body balanced and finding the root causes of symptoms and problems that many times have been going on for years with no relief. Many of us suffer from autoimmune or hormone issues that we are constantly treating the symptoms of, but never the root cause. Once we tackle the root of the problem and keep things balanced, you have a plan to take with you to keep the symptoms at bay. Contact our office for a free 15 minute consultation to see if this is something that could benefit your overall health.
