Your counseling will be built from your strengths to fit your needs. Cognitive-Behavioral: Thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact; to change one of these it is often helpful to change the others. Family Systems Theory: Family members affect each other; each person is helped with improved family interactions. Solution focused Therapy: Fixing the problem, regardless of the where and when that problem started. Narrative Therapy: Acknowledging all parts of your story; focusing on your strengths so you see yourself as the hero of your healing.
We are offering online and in person groups in January of 2022 for parenting, PTSD, anxiety and depression management.
Your counseling is about finding out who YOU are, regardless of what the world thinks you should be. You can find your own strengths, with guidance and support, to heal.

Cognitive-behavioral: Discovering how thought patterns that worked for you in the past aren't working for you as well in the present; slowly adjusting thought patterns to be more helpful. Narrative: Creating a story about your life of hope, health and growth, using the elements of your struggles and successes; acknowledging your "victim" story while expanding your "survivor" story.
