Family Counseling Services Overview
Children and Play Therapy
We work with children individually as young as 3 years old and specialize in offering evidence-based treatments therapy for kids specializing in play therapy and expressive therapies. However, we believe in including the parents in the treatment process and collaborating regarding treatment progress and goals. If children are older, we will use “talk therapy” approaches, but we may still include some play to teach coping skills and add tools to their emotional well-being.
Adult Therapy
Sometimes life’s challenges become overwhelming. In today’s world, economic and social dynamics can add new complexities to the fundamental human struggles we all face. Adult Counseling services provide a caring, supportive atmosphere to set goals and assist you in making changes within yourself or your situation.
When counseling and therapy alone are not fully meeting the needs of a child, adolescent or adult, psychiatric services and an evaluation might be a good adjunct to therapy. We take a holistic approach working in identifying if this approach would be beneficial.
Parenting Coaching
We recognize that being a parent is a difficult task that does not come with an instruction manual. We offer parenting support to support not only you individually but also the entire family.
Adolescent Therapy
For teenagers in individual therapy, we honor their autonomy and independence while including parents and possibly adding family counseling services to support the teen.
Family Therapy
We provide a supportive atmosphere for family therapy. The work we do to deepen and improve family relationships can have a profound impact on every family member and serve the family today and into the future. Family counseling services is an important way to strengthen family interactions, improve family dynamics and deepen family relationships.
