INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Therapy, Talk Therapy, Psychotherapy – all words to describe the healing process of regular interaction between a licensed therapist and a client, working together to overcome hardship and difficulties in the client’s life through evidenced-based theories and techniques.
Psychotherapy was created as a treatment for mental illness and psychological disorders, but it also has significant value in other situations. Therapy can help:
- Adjusting to change, hardship, or loss
- Processing grief
- Stress management
- Issues with work and career
- Improving relationships
- Chronic pain management
- Substance use and abuse
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Trauma and Abuse
Therapy is not just for adults- It can help people of all ages, including children. If you have noticed unexplained behavioral changes or mood swings in your child and think they could benefit from having a safe space to share, therapy could help!

GROUP THERAPY OFFERINGS
Group therapy can be a great way for people to process their emotions in a safe environment while gaining feedback from a therapist and their peers. Groups can provide a wealth of coping strategies as well as validation from hearing other clients’ experiences. Often, feedback from someone else going through a similar struggle can be just as impactful, if not more so, than feedback from you therapist.
