Hello. We are looking forward to being a part of your journey toward happiness and health. In the Great Psychotherapy Debate (Wampold, 2001), studies demonstrated that if there are two groups of people with similar problems, those who receive counseling will be better off than 79% of those who do not receive counseling. Counseling can bring relief, resolution, clarity, freedom, or help you overcome a challenge. Our counseling style is encouraging, empowering, nonjudgmental, and thorough. We all have a training in variety of types of therapy and we will customize it to you.
At Health for Life Counseling we have many specialities, and one of them is working with the Men. We have male and female counselors that specialize in helping men. Most of us have advanced training in EMDR therapy, which is not talk therapy. It is a different method that has been show to be quite effective.
The counseling process is an investment. Our goal is to help you move from where you are to where you want to be. Our intention is to help you develop new skills and perspectives that you can use to enhance your life. We don't want to change you. We want to help you become the person you have always wanted to become.

Statistically speaking, men are less likely to seek counseling than women, but yet they face just as many issues as women. The issues of men may be somewhat different than those of women, but culturally speaking many men view expressing emotions or asking for help as "weak." We see them as strong.

We offer empowering talk therapy. We also specialize in advanced methods to get at the root cause of your mood and emotions, such as EMDR therapy: Repeated studies show that utilizing EMDR therapy helps people gain the same empirically proven results of counseling in a much shorter time period than traditional "talk therapy." We will customize a plan to you that has your goals in mind.
