Individual Counseling

We collaborate in a one-on-one relationship to deepen your understanding and capacity to create the changes you are looking for within yourself and in your life.

Anxiety, depression and mood disorders, eating disorders, addictions, relationship issues, life transitions and other concerns benefit from our individualized work together.

We can focus on or combine a variety of insight oriented, cognitive and behavioral therapy approaches in a process of exploration, learning and growth.

We have a roll-up-our sleeves approach to helping you make things work in your life. We view solving problems as learning opportunities for personal development.

Couple & Relationship Counseling

We support you in repairing, building and strengthening your relationships. In our inclusive approach, we focus on developing emotional awareness, communication and conflict resolution skills, and interpersonal effectiveness so you can develop more closeness and fulfillment at any stage. We address a range of issues and choices such as sex and intimacy, commitment, value differences, life stressors and transitions, infidelity, separation and divorce, and more. We utilize tools and techniques from the Gottman Method Couple Counseling and Emotionally Focused Therapy and other research-based methodologies.

 

Family Counseling

Family relationships can be a source of satisfaction and closeness throughout our lives. Circumstances and stressors on families impact us and change over time. When there is tension, conflict, or cut-offs in our relationships, we feel distress and hopelessness.

Working with family issues and dynamics can lead to not only strengthening relationships within the family but also to individual growth and wellbeing.

Family work can be done all together or with different configurations of family members as we individualize the work for your specific family needs and goals. We work with families and chosen families with young and adult children, aging parents and extended and blended families too.

Group Counseling

Share concerns, receive support and learn from each other as you explore a wide range of perspectives with other people facing similar challenges. You will gain self-awareness and skill-building and benefit from the energy and connection a group environment brings.

We create and lead topic-specific support groups and intensives, skill-building and wellness programs, along with other workshops and activities for clients and the community.
