Services

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a confidential, safe, nurturing, supportive setting in which you are able to gain insight and perspective on the personal struggles that we all face from time to time. By immersing yourself in a protected environment with the skilled guidance provided by a trained therapist, individual sessions can do wonders for you in terms of healing and growing as a human being.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is an entirely different modality from individual work. Group therapy allows you to connect with others in our community, and begin to give and receive feedback to and from others about your life. And it’s a more cost effective alternative during tough economic times to share your experience and strengths with others in a group setting.  Part of the growth involved is learning how to bond with others who are experiencing many of this same concerns. Group therapy is an awesome way to break feelings of isolation.

Couples Therapy

By providing additional support to you and your partner or spouse, couples therapy helps you to resolve and come to terms with interpersonal dynamics and possible resentments that have developed in your relationship. You may learn to compromise and make adjustments so that the relationship can survive or you may make a healthy conscious decision to move on.
