Telehealth
Telehealth is just like an in-person session with a therapist, only over the phone or video conferencing.
We offer our clients telehealth services as an option for individual counseling sessions. These capabilities allow us to improve access to affordable mental health care, regardless of your ability to visit one of our counseling center offices. We want you to receive the best possible care with minimal interruptions. Many clients are moving to telehealth services for easier continuity of care or out of concern for their physical and emotional health.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are typically the most common reasons people seek counseling services.
Common signs of anxiety are difficulty sleeping, feeling restless or tense, trouble concentrating, and times of increased heart rate and sweating. Depression, for many, is experienced as feeling down and a loss of interest in things the person used to enjoy. It can also present itself as fatigue and changes in sleep and weight.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, all of our providers are trained to work with these areas and can meet with you.
Trauma & PTSD
Our therapists can help you safely face both situations and memories that you find frightening so that you can learn to cope with them effectively.
Trauma and PTSD are often primarily thought of as symptoms experienced by those in war, an assault, or first responders. While those are commonly related, trauma and the development of PTSD can occur from many different events. Trauma can also seem as if it has been resolved, only to show up later in life at unexpected times.
If you have experienced something traumatic and would like help and guidance to process it, we have many therapists trained in special interventions such as EMDR and CPT who are able to help.
Counseling for Couples
We work with couples in private counseling sessions to understand conflict and teach you strategies, tools, and techniques to help overcome negative emotions and conflict in your relationship and build better communication skills.
For couples who have decided to separate or divorce and need help navigating children, co-parenting, and healing, we are here to help.
We offer counseling services related to:
- Premarital Counseling
- Divorce and Infidelity
- Open Communication
- Loss of a Loved One
- Sexuality Concerns
Family Counseling
Families have their own social rules and structure and need unique and specialized counseling care to help restore peace and structure.
Constant fighting, bickering, and distressing experiences can destabilize families and create environments that lead to further emotional and mental distress. Dealing with family problems can be stressful, and often, families feel lost and powerless to change. Meeting with a counselor about relationship issues or conflict can encourage open and honest discussion between family members in a safe, calm, and confidential environment.
- Parenting
- Divorce
- Loss
- Co-parenting and Parenting With Partners
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR is used to help treat PTSD and other difficult and complicated effects of trauma and overwhelming life experiences, including anxiety and phobias. The therapy process used in EMDR asks you to explore distressing or difficult memories while using eye movements to help you mentally reprocess the emotions related to memory. EMDR also focuses on replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts to encourage mental health and change habits related to traumatic experiences.
Substance Abuse Counseling
Substance abuse counseling in an individual and confidential setting can help you confront and deal with your harmful habits and teach you how to make changes in your life to manage substance abuse. Our goal is to help reduce the grip of substance abuse habits on you and help you get back to living a balanced life. This can be done by incorporating different approaches, including managing stress in healthy ways, improving relationships, or healing from past trauma. We will teach you practical tools to help break the cycle.
Our counselors have special certifications in substance abuse counseling, as well as compulsive sexual behaviors. Compulsive behavior is challenging to overcome on your own. Our counseling sessions focus on sorting through the cycle, identifying triggers, and forming action plans and steps to abstain and stop relapse. There are also effective medications now available to assist in the process.
Psychiatric
Our counseling center offices provide psychiatric services in addition to other therapies. If you are interested in a consultation to determine if medication interventions could be helpful for your concerns, we have a medical team available. Our team has years of training and experience in a wide range of psychiatric conditions.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a specific type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that has been effective in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder that have developed after experiencing a variety of traumatic events, including child abuse, combat, sexual assault, and natural disasters.
CPT is generally delivered over 12 sessions and helps patients learn how to challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma. In doing so, the patient creates a new understanding and conceptualization of the traumatic event so that it reduces its ongoing negative effects on your current life.
Hypnotherapy Services
Therapists who receive specialized training may use hypnotherapy with clients experiencing symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and other mental health conditions. Hypnotherapy can be a stand-alone or in addition to other treatments the person may be receiving. This type of approach uses different techniques, including guided relaxation and changes in focus and/or attention, to assist the client in gaining a better awareness of the core causes of symptoms. By gaining better awareness, the person and practitioner are able to work toward healing. This approach may not be the best fit for all clients, but many have found it very helpful.
Art Therapy
Art therapy can access centers in the brain, where crisis often makes emotions inaccessible by language. Art therapy uses the creative process of art-making to gain a greater understanding and awareness of yourself, your relationship with others, and your ability to cope, problem-solve, and learn how to better attain your hopes and dreams.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a form of therapy used to process emotions or articulate problems to others without using language.
In play therapy, we use a variety of treatment models for all ages to treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, relational issues, depression, traumatic stress, and behavioral issues.
Some potential benefits of play therapy are:
- Taking Responsibility for Certain Behaviors
- Developing Coping Strategies & Creative Problem-Solving Skills
- Self-Respect
- Empathy & Respect for Others
- Alleviation of Anxiety
- Learning to Fully Experience & Express Feelings
- Stronger Social Skills & Family Relationships.
Somatic Experiencing
The Somatic Experiencing® method is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. It releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. It can be particularly helpful for both physical and psychological symptoms related to trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, abuse, and other emotional distress, including chronic pain, digestive concerns, muscle tension and pain, sleep problems, and respiratory issues.
