Therapy Services Offered
ADULTS
The goal of therapy is to reconstruct assumptions and goals and align them with fulfilling one’s purpose in life.
Therapy can reveal influences from childhood. The things we are taught as children shape our adult behaviors and at times we don’t realize we have other options.
In therapy, you will be provided the tools and encouragement so that you can reframe negative influences from the past and move forward into a purposeful future.
COUPLES
Couples therapy is a way to help two individuals learn to work together as a unit and strengthen specific areas within their relationship. Couples come to therapy for various reasons, including, communication challenges, intimacy issues, verbal or emotional abuse, different lifestyle beliefs, infidelity, and neglect of the relationship.
In therapy, we help couples learn to set and understand expectations, learn healthy forms of communicating, navigate emotional triggers, learn conflict resolution, and work toward balance within the relationship.
FAMILIES
Addressing family issues involve facilitating effective communication. Conflict can negatively impact the family bond causing members to isolate from each other. This can lead to unhealthy sibling rivalries and alliances.
The goal in family therapy is to help reduce past and present issues, balance togetherness with individual identity, improve communication skills, and increase the health of the family system. We examine the family environment to better understand the family dynamics.
ADOLESCENTS
Adolescents deal with an array of challenges that can shape who they become as adults. When working with kids, research suggests that attention seeking, power, revenge, and inadequacy can drive misbehavior. This is why it is so important in therapy to get their views on what the presenting problem is.
Whether it be issues with family, school, or peers, we have to learn to respect their choices so that they can learn from mistakes. We help strengthen the foundation for school and social relationships. We do this through encouragement, reflective listening, unconditional acceptance, faith in their abilities, and recognition of strengths. These are integral aspects of a purposeful life.
