I will not take sides. There isn't something wrong with you. You are not weak for seeking counseling. This practice focuses on partner relational problems, sexual intimacy, parenting, step-parenting, career, depression/anxiety, spiritual distress, anger management, grief/loss, and family/individual management of severe mental and medical diagnoses.
I am a veteran of the military and have previous experience as an elementary school teacher, ICU nurse, and mental health nursing. I am currently licensed to practice in Kansas, have the most amazing marriage, am a stepparent, and am a survivor of trauma, child loss and marriage separation.
With real life experience in many of your struggles, I do not just have the training to help you, but the empathy and insight. Evening and weekend hours available. Online scheduling at cfhtherapy.com. Appointments can only be made or changed via the webpage or portal..
