Our Services
Individual Therapy and Counseling
Individual psychotherapy services are all about meeting the individual needs of the person in therapy. These services include learning about you, helping you set goals, and determining what actions may be helpful to achieve them. We have experience working with individuals on many different difficulties and problems.
Family and Couples therapy
Families and couples can often benefit from meeting with a therapist together. It can help to improve communication, set familial or coupleship goals, address concerns, and work towards building a family life that makes the whole family happy.
Group therapy
Groups are typically 4-10 individuals. Each individual will meet with the therapist for an assessment prior to joining the group. Groups are usually either focused on processing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors or focused on helping people learn about mental health topics like coping skills, communication, and other mental health topics.
Clinical Supervision
We help other therapists further develop and improve their clinical decision making skills. We strive to help other therapist’s focus on the needs of their clients and progress on their goals.
Teaching and Public Speaking
Much of mental health work is about learning and education. Our practice believes it is important to both continue our learning and also to share that knowledge. We have in the past done guest lecturing and public speaking when able. We look to continue to offer more opportunities in the future like CEUS and other educational content.
The Therapeutic Process
Our approach is simple, effective, and supported by the best research. The Therapy process includes:
Learning about who you are and what you need support with.
Creating a plan with you that feels specific to the needs and desires you have in life.
Help you figure out to put this plan into action and support you by counseling you through the feelings, barriers, and challenges that often arise.
Look at how effective each part of the plan was and where to go from there.
