A lot of people are against counseling, because they do not really understand what it means.

Change your thoughts and you change your world were words of wisdom spoken so eloquently by Norman Vincent Peale. I believe our thoughts, the manner in which we process our surroundings, have great impact on our emotions and are the root of our actions. I believe awareness of our thoughts and how we choose to process them can change the trajectory of our outcomes. I have experience working with women before, during, and after pregnancy, and working with patients with new and/or chronic medical diagnoses. I also have experience working with foster care, adoptions, birth mothers, and potential adoptive parents.

Seeking therapy can be an intimidating process, it takes a lot of courage to begin this journey! My passion is to help individuals and couples live their most beneficial and rewarding lives. I have worked extensively with grief, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and much more. I am of Christian faith but am open to working with any religious orientations. I have had the pleasure of working with individuals from all different ages, cultures, backgrounds, and religions. I look forward to getting to know you on a individual basis and helping you navigate your world and experiences.

I have worked extensively with both individual clients, as well as couples. I specialize in helping clients with the following issues: affective disorders (e.g., depression), anxiety problems, and marital issues. I frequently work with helping clients to rapidly resolve trauma issues, including childhood abuse. I also work with with stress issues, health psychology, and sleep problems. The full range of psychological testing, including intelligence and personality testing, is also available. Many of my clients are self-pay (to avoid insurance hassles), but I do accept Medicare, Tricare, and some PPO plans.

What you want the most right now is to find someone who can help stop the emotional rollercoaster. Someone who can throw you a life line because you feel like you are drowning. What would your life be like if you could overcome the obstacles to your happiness? My counseling techniques and style can provide support, tools, understanding, healing and growth.

My greatest strength as a practitioner is my understanding of the human experience. I understand the uniqueness of the client/practitioner relationship, while recognizing the importance of seeing the client as a human first. I like to give my client as much autonomy as possible throughout the course of their treatment. I understand that most things in life are beyond our control, and I feel it’s important for clients who are experiencing some form of distress to feel they have some degree of control in their life.

I hope to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore, grow and learn, as they move toward greater clarity and connection in their lives and relationships. I desire that my clients would have the opportunity to work through their challenges in a collaborative and empathetic environment integrating research-based methods and a Christian worldview at the clients request.

Life is a GIFT. I believe in this life, we all have special assignments. It is with honor, gratitude, and appreciation that I have accepted my assignment of helping others via Nursing and Counseling. With the world in such chaos, it is a challenge to navigate our spiritual, physical, and emotional health and wholeness. It is my aim to connect with my clients at the point of their hurt. Clients are usually hurting or struggling with childhood emotional trauma, grief (loss of a loved one, a relationship, or loss of themselves), depression, overwhelming life events, anxiety, or self-esteem issues.

We are a group of 7 counselors who seek to strengthen all types of families and individuals with an approach that combines a Christian worldview with effective research-based modalities and interventions. People looking to be active in the change process will find a fit with our approaches. Owner Rebecca Maxwell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Qualified Supervisor.
