Since I have been doing counseling/therapy for 35+ years, I am very familiar with many approaches and theories. My first step in working with a person or couples is to help them express the goal(s) they wish to achieve in seeking counseling and then work with them to either discover the skills within themselves or help them develop these skills to reach these goals and live fulfilled lives.

Mary Joye, LMHC
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
If you're stressed, depressed, anxious or have experienced a life changing event, counseling helps you learn coping skills to become happier. You'll be in a nonjudgmental environment as we work together for you to regain resilience. Reliving the past does not usually relieve it. As a solution-focused therapist, I help you listen to yourself and explore the most authentic and best options for your needs. You have your answers within you and it's an honor to help you find them. Many subconsciously reenact childhood issues and we make connections between the past and present to create a better future, tailored for you.

Liz Hall
Counselor, MS, LMHC

My work focuses on helping individuals identify and develop a new level of awareness within themselves. This begins with shifting one’s mindset, your thoughts. Often, I would hear client’s express being uncomfortable in silence as all they are left with are their thoughts. Learning to be at peace with your thoughts is essential for healing. “Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions. If you correct your mind, the rest of your live will fall into place” Lao Tzu.

I believe wholeness consists of 3 intertwined areas of health: spiritual, mental, and physical. My desire is to assist you in achieving and thriving at your greatest potential.
