Counseling for…
It’s helpful to know that your therapist is skilled and trained in the specific areas that you need help.
For the skeptics out there, know that when you trust us with your story and your pain, we can help you to find solutions not solely stemming from what we know intellectually, but also based on what we know from real life, what we've tried and implemented, and what we know works.
Individuals
Each of us faces a set of unique challenges and struggles in life that can be hard to cope with. It's important to find someone you trust that can help you make adjustments and learn what’s needed to overcome those hurdles.
Families
No family is immune to the challenges that life can bring. Whether it’s the everyday stresses of growing up, the particular challenges that living with an adolescent can bring, or learning to support one another in difficult times, seeking the aid of a third-party person is often the easiest way to make it through these challenges with your relationships in tact.
Couples
Creating and sustaining lasting relationships is not an easy task. Finding the support of a licensed professional can be the catalyst needed to overcome difficult challenges and improve the sacred bond you share together.
Teens
Being a teenager, especially in today’s modern world, is complete with its own set of challenges. Grieving the innocence of childhood, entering the responsibility of adulthood, all while struggling to find acceptance and discover who you truly are can feel like an uphill battle. Working with a trained therapist won’t make it pass by any quicker, but will help you to make it through unscathed!

We Can Help With…
Depression
It can be difficult to enjoy your life while struggling with the heavy weight of depression on your shoulders. Our team of professionals is here to help you navigate this common issue and get you back to feeling more like yourself. Taking the steps towards healing is not easy, but we’re here to help.
Anxiety
Have you been plagued by excessive worry, intrusive thoughts, fatigue, trouble falling asleep, or panic attacks? These are just some of the physical and mental symptoms of anxiety. If you think anxiety may be standing in the way of you living your best life, talking to a therapist can guide you to the coping mechanisms you need.
Grief
Have you recently experienced a loss? Whether of someone you love or a dream no longer possible? Your unique situation and emotions while grieving are valid. While grief may always be a part of your life, our professionals can guide you through understanding and processing your feelings in a healthy way.
Stress
Added pressure at home or work, times of uncertainty, big life changes, or feeling out of control can all result in stress. If you’re feeling the impacts of stress on your life, you’re not alone. Therapy can guide you to new ways to manage and cope with stress so that it no longer gets in the way of your daily life.
Self Esteem
Do you want to tap into your inner strength and confidence? Are you trying to overcome lifelong insecurities? Working with a licensed professional is one of the best ways to defeat self-doubt and step into empowerment.
Cultural Fatigue
Are you tired of feeling “othered,” or like important parts of your identity are left out? Cultural fatigue therapy affirms and celebrates all of who you are while giving you the resources and confidence to live your life to the fullest.
Difficult life experiences
While you may not be comfortable with the word “trauma”, we have all experienced challenges throughout our lives. The opportunity to discuss difficult situations, come to terms with them, and learn to embrace who you were always meant to be are all key to living an unapologetically dope life!
Life transitions
Are you new in town? Adjusting to another huge life change? Often it’s these times in our life that, although we may be excited for the change, leave room for loneliness and isolation to set in. It’s also a perfect time to get connected with a local therapist to help you work through this, and other momentous life occasions.
Blended families
Family is a gift. Two families becoming one is both a gift and a challenge.
It can be difficult to know how to merge your families “right”, but speaking with someone with knowledge and experience increases the chances of it going well!
Parenting
Parenting can be challenging because there is often no "black and white" answer to many situations you'll find yourself in. With the help of a licensed professional, you can begin to understand how to improve negative situations, make more positive choices, and improve the relationship that you have with your family.
Premarital Counseling
Before you make one of the biggest decisions of your life, it’s helpful to have a little guidance, especially regarding the hotspot areas that often come up as a concern for many couples. Begin by taking the “Save Your Marriage Before It Starts” assessment, and together we’ll work through the results to prepare you for your marriage ahead.
Concerns Related to LGBTQ+
A number of societal factors can contribute to heightened feelings of discrimination and mental health challenges for those with LGBTQ+ identities. You may find you feel anxious or depressed, rejected, or bullied. It may be difficult to cope with the weight of these feelings and their impact, but a trained therapist can help you navigate your way through.
Not sure?
Many times there is no perfect word to describe exactly what you may be going through.
Still, it’s beneficial to sit down with a professional to work together to find healing and the resolve you were looking for.
