What you can Expect from us?
We provide a supportive, neutral and nonjudgmental environment so you can talk openly and honestly. We often will incorporate activities, lessons, education, demonstrations, and may assign homework for you to practice skills and strategies explored in session. We really want this process to be about you and our job will be to guide you where you want to go.
Individual Sessions
Depending on your individual needs we will help you better understand yourself and your relationships, set personal goals, teach coping skills, work through challenging memories, focus on change, or achieve any other desired goals or outcomes. We offer an eclectic approach to therapy using elements and techniques from a wide range of proven approaches or interventions, such as....
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on exploring the relationships between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors
- Problem Solving Therapy to teach you to effectively manage the negative effects of stressful events that can occur in life
- Systems Therapy to explore behavioral patterns and your role in your environment
- Motivational Interviewing to elicit change by helping you explore and resolve ambivalence
Couples
Relationships need hard work. Oftentimes, couples benefit from a neutral and objective ear. We have comprehensive postgraduate training that enable us to understand differences in communication, expectations, and values between partners. Once differences are identified and examined, we work with you to move past barriers and into a more fulfilling relationship.
