Asking for help
is an act of courage
How We Show Up
We believe in inclusivity and that mental health care is a human right.
By meeting people right where they are and leading with a respect for diversity, we demonstrate our belief that everyone is worthy of support.
We take training and supervision seriously because we believe that each person deserves the highest quality service. We create a safe space where sensitive information is free to be shared, but we don’t just listen – we’re active and engaged in each session.
How We Can Serve You
-
Individual counseling is based on the development of a confidential, trusting relationship with your counselor. Much time is spent learning about your perspectives and beliefs regarding the issues that bring you to counseling. Based on information gathered during this assessment, you and your counselor will establish goals for the counseling process. This will allow you to recognize and track your progress.
-
Couples counseling starts with an initial assessment of the issues that have brought you and your partner into our office. The focus is spent on supporting each partner’s efforts to communicate and gain a better understanding of one another. It is a safe place to explore areas where you and your partner have conflict. Working with a counselor can shift entrenched patterns of communication and facilitate growth for the individuals as well as the partnership.
-
We have several counselors who have training and experience working with children and adolescents. This kind of counseling tends to be active – utilizing toys, puppets, games, books, art, and physical movement. Parents are involved either by attending some of the sessions with their child and/or by meeting with the counselor on a regular basis to discuss their child’s progress and to give feedback about how things are progressing at home and school.
-
Family counseling is designed to help with issues that specifically affect your families' mental health and functioning. It can help individual family members build stronger relationships, improve communication, and manage conflicts within the family system. By improving how family members interact and relate to one another, family counseling can foster change in close relationships.

Theraplay was developed to support healthy child and caregiver attachment. In treatment, the Theraplay therapist guides the parent and child through playful, fun games, developmentally challenging activities, and tender, nurturing activities. The very act of engaging each other in this way helps the parent regulate the child's behavior and communicate love, joy, and safety to the child. It helps the child feel secure, cared for, connected and worthy.
