Counseling, Family & Marriage Therapy

Counseling can help with relational difficulties, feelings of depression and anxiety, or any problems that you have tried to solve on your own, but have not been able to. There are many forms and frameworks of counseling, but research shows that the most important factor is the client-counselor relationship. Feeling comfortable and understood by the counselor is a foundational component for change to occur. Counseling can, also, be like coaching in that it can help you feel better, increase motivation, and support you in achieving your goals. You do not have to have an emotional or mental health issue to obtain positive benefits from counseling. Even If your goal is personal development, counseling can help.

Our first session is an exploration into the concern and/or identified problem(s) that you would like to change. Sometimes the desire to change is increased understanding and/or behavior shifts, and other times change is desired around the quality of your relationships. Sometimes people just want to feel better and are unaware of what the underlying problems might be. The counseling process helps to uncover and identify areas that may influence change in a healthier and more meaningful direction.

After the first few sessions, we will together identify goals that will help you better manage and change in the areas of your life that you want.

Typically, meeting once a week for the first several weeks is recommended, but not required. This just helps to gain traction in the process, establish comfort and trust between client and therapist, and it increases opportunities to focus on and concentrate on growth and change in an intentional manner.
