Our Services

The first appointment will last one hour and will be used to assess your situation. We will begin by asking a number of questions about you and your family and will discuss your primary concerns. At the end of this session, we will provide feedback and recommendations about how to proceed. These recommendations might include Individual Therapy, Couples/Marital Therapy, Family Therapy, or Play Therapy.

Individual Therapy focuses on specific issues related to the person in counseling. Individuals come to therapy for a variety of reasons such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma or loss, and stressful life situations. In individual therapy, a person works with their therapist to identify and resolve problems and to achieve personal growth.

Couples Therapy addresses problems between partners in a relationship. Couples enter counseling in order to resolve the problems and/or to decide whether to remain together or to separate. If your relationship is in danger, or you and your partner find you are arguing about the same issues over and over, couples or marital therapy can help you understand your situation, your partner and yourself so that you can make needed changes to improve your relationship.

Family Therapy is appropriate when there is a need to address issues that affect all the members of the family. Some find that their family life is dominated by frustration, anger, and confusion. Family therapy can help you change the relationships in your family, learn new ways of responding to family conflict, and remember the love you share. Family therapy can also include parent guidance. Parents today are inundated with information about how to do a good job raising their children. At times this information can be confusing, and parents may feel hopeless or frustrated about how to manage their children in today's world. Parent coaching can help you restore your effectiveness as a parent.

Play Therapy is a type of individual counseling used with young children. A trained therapist uses a variety of toys and games to help the child express him or herself, learn new skills and resolve emotional conflicts. This approach is best suited to children because it relates to them at their developmental level rather than asking them to approach problems as older children or adults do.

Positive Discipline Training includes workshops for schools, religious organizations, and community groups. This dynamic, interactive training teaches parents and teachers practical discipline solutions that result in responsibility and cooperation. This approach, developed by Jane Nelson, Ed.D., ends shaming and blaming and empowers adults and children to find real solutions for discipline problems.
