About Therapy

Character and Self

Understanding and taking care of ourselves is important toward healthy life, but so is understanding our own attitudes and values. Working on establishing a clear sense of your identity in the context of your morals and the tru is critical to learning to establish greater peace in the most challenging times. 

Relationships

People are relational, and we cannot be healthy without this aspect working in our lives for good. Improve your connections to others, work on establishing limits. Increasing peace in your life often means understanding the true source of peace versus the constant and failed pursuit of personal happiness that eludes so many people.

Patterns

Identifying negative patterns in your life allows you to break frustrating cycles. Intentional guided explorations of patterns in your life through therapy may help you clearly establish goals with less shame, via proper support. No matter where this leads, we encourage clients to seek peace in life by breaking chaotic or otherwise maladaptive patterns with an intentional focus.

The Past

Our experiences affect us deeply, and we do not always know how to move on. Our pasts can be the source of both pain and learning, but in all cases influence our thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. Healing is possible, but it isn't as simple as "moving on" or just letting "time go by". Being healthy is about breaking bonds with the hurt and any unhealthy attitudes, assumptions, and beliefs that might come with that.

About

​

Dear Prospective Client:

​

Not all therapy is the same, so it is a good idea to get some idea of how your therapist practices. While this should not require you to know all there is to know about therapy, you might begin to develop some understanding of how well you will work together.

​

We founded our practice with the strong belief in being as available as possible to those interested in overcoming challenges, and especially those seeking therapy, as a first step. We truly believe that finding the right therapist important, but what makes therapy work is not always well understood.  We know that strong relationships with self, good beliefs, others, and the community are fundamental change. 

​

Our therapy practice is about helping clients understand our world, relationships, decisions, and themselves. Good therapy helps people to adapt to life and struggles and to learn from challenging trials in life. 

​

In life outside therapy, we don't always get the time or have what is necessary to explore our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences fully. Our nature as humans is complex and frequently pretty difficult. It is very easy to misunderstand what is going on an what might be done about it. Confusing ideas in the public or our families might be contributing, so we our approach will also encourage a look at your value system as the foundation for how you choose to face the problems in your life. Some systems need healthy revision, and some need more consistent application through encouragement.

​

We strive to understand our clients' need in a holistic manner, as we listen carefully to their needs, and work hard at forming a collaborative partnership. We tend to work with clients using an approach that allows us to help clients discover solutions they have within themselves, their families, and their belief systems that have either been forgotten or dismissed as irrelevant for one reason or another.

​

​

​Our experience allows us to comfortably work within a variety of areas, including attachment, faith and spirituality, grief & loss, trauma, divorce, parenting, teen issues, parent-child separation, anger, substance use, coping with substance users, helping those who don't want help, interpersonal boundaries, couples issues, depression, guilt, anxiety, and others...

​

We welcome those of all faiths, and we are incredibly familiar with the Christian faith and perspectives. One great part of this viewpoint is honest and truth-seeking love, which allows the faithful to work with anyone who is willing. It is also about breaking bonds with negative influences. We work with those strong in faith as well as those who are reluctant to have a relationship with God.

​

When it comes to your concerns therapist and client can combine experiences to develop ideas that can be employed to break patterns. No matter what challenges we face as we work together, when you are the client, It is important to us that we work toward YOUR GOALS to reduce distress in whatever form it takes.

​

We have worked to help improve people's lives since 2004, which has afforded us the wonderful opportunity to work with a wide variety of people and situations. We work with clients individually, as couples, in small family groups, or in large groups.

 

Thank you for your interest!
