McConaghie Family Counseling: Guidance. Hope. Healing.

McConaghie Family Counseling employs only skilled and compassionate therapists. All of us focus on the strengths that are in every person, respect clients’ goals and offer direct guidance on how to reach those goals.

Individual counseling focuses on your personal goals for change. This may include improving life satisfaction or relationships, overcoming depression and anxiety, or healing from past traumas or hurts. For teens, individual counseling can help with depression, anxiety, school functioning and social concerns.

Family counseling includes multiple members of one family. For example, parents and teens may work together with a therapist to make agreements and solve problems. Parents and children of all ages may participate in art, experiential activities, or discussion to increase understanding and find new ways of relating to one another. Sometimes adult members of a family participate in counseling to solve relationship problems or recover from past hurt and resentment.

Couples counseling is useful for couples at any stage of their relationship. We provide expert assistance for couples whether they are determined to stay together, deciding whether or not to stay together or have decided to part and need guidance in doing so. It is important to us to provide practical guidance that gets to the heart of the matter and promotes real change. To see answers to common questions about couples counseling, click here.
