Emotional wellness goes beyond stress management.
We can help. 

Individual therapy is a joint process between a therapist and a person in therapy. Common goals of therapy can be to inspire change or improve quality of life. People may seek therapy for help with issues that are hard to face alone. Individual therapy is also called therapy, psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy, talk therapy, and counseling. Therapy can help people overcome obstacles to their well-being. It can increase positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem. People in therapy can learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching goals. Many find they enjoy the therapeutic journey of becoming more self-aware. Some people even go to ongoing therapy for self-growth.

Couples therapy helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding and strengthening your relationship or going your separate ways.  Couples therapy typically includes both partners, but sometimes one partner chooses to work with a therapist alone. The specific treatment plan depends on the situation. Couples who have or are experiencing domestic violence or dating violence currently or in the past are not appropriate for couples counseling due to safety issues and clinical contraindications. Couples therapy can be used to work through short term issues or long term conflicts that impact the fiber of the relationship. 

Play therapy allows trained mental health practitioners who specialize in this approach to assess and understand children’s play. Further, play therapy is utilized to help children cope with difficult emotions and find solutions to problems. Although everyone benefits, play therapy is especially appropriate for children ages 3-12 years old. Teenagers and adults have also benefited from this type of therapy. Play therapy has been utilized for multiple social, emotional, and behavioral disorders, such as anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum, oppositional defiant/conduct disorders, anger management, crisis and trauma, grief & loss, divorce, and disabilites of all types.

Child/Adolescent therapy is meant to treat a mental health condition or help a child manage their symptoms so that they can function well at home, in school, and in their community. When children are young, it is common for therapy to include the parent in some role of the therapeutic process where appropriate. Older children an often times meet with the therapist alone & establish their own rapport, goals and relationship.  Psychological therapy with children can include talking, playing, or other activities to help the child express feelings. Therapists may also observe parents and children together and then make suggestions for finding different ways to react.  Sometimes, a combination of therapies is the most effective for helping a child. 

Family therapy helps family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. In family therapy, you will learn the skills you need to get through the stressful times and to deepen relationships. You may work to generally improve troubled relationships or to address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or the effects of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family. Families in therapy will learn new ways to interact and overcome unhealthy patterns for the benefit of the entire family.  Family therapy can help with a variety of family dynamics, including divorce, addiction in the family, generational trauma, establishing healthy boundaries, and more.

Parenting may be challenging, even with time and patience, and almost every parent occasionally feels negative emotions like stress and frustration, anxiety or sadness. Although parental difficulties can occur at any time, this is particularly true during the perinatal period. These challenges can occasionally be very severe and persistent. Such ongoing stress can harm both your health and your relationships, especially those with your kids and other people in your life. Working with a therapist can be a great approach to learn new parenting techniques, improve coping mechanisms, and have a better understanding of the difficulties of parenting. Parents can decide whether to pursue treatment alone, with a spouse, or with other family members.

Online telehealth enables customers and patients to participate in medical visits virtually, including professional healthcare specialists like counselors. Clients and physicians can see and hear each other when using desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones when doing this often through video conferencing.  You can frequently attend a telehealth session from your home, your place of employment (in a private room), or even in your vehicle (parked in a safe location). Online therapy is often utilized for non-emergency concerns such as self-improvement, family dynamics, school, work, romantic relationships, changing habits, depression, anxiety, low-to-moderate severity obsessions and compulsions, trauma recovery, skill development, spiritual issues, and problem solving.
