How can we help?

Areas of Focus

  • Helping individuals overcome compulsive sexual behaviors that negatively impact their lives and relationships.

    Sexual addiction is often marked by compulsive behaviors that can feel uncontrollable and may disrupt various aspects of life, including relationships, work, and personal well-being. Therapy in this area focuses on helping individuals identify underlying issues that drive these behaviors, develop healthier coping strategies, and rebuild damaged relationships. Through tailored treatment approaches, clients can regain control and work toward long-term recovery.

  • Supporting those who have experienced deep emotional pain due to infidelity or relational betrayal.

    Experiencing betrayal, especially in intimate relationships, can lead to deep emotional wounds that affect trust and self-esteem. Betrayal trauma therapy focuses on helping individuals process their emotions, rebuild their sense of self, and heal from the pain of infidelity or other forms of relational betrayal. With the right support, clients can regain a sense of security and move toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

  • Providing a welcoming and affirming space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, ensuring that all identities are respected and valued.

    Inclusive therapy focuses on fostering a welcoming and affirming environment for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including gender, sexual, ethnic, religious minorities, and those with varying abilities. This approach creates a safe therapeutic space where clients can openly explore their experiences and challenges, ensuring they feel heard and understood without judgment.

  • Assisting individuals in processing traumatic experiences and healing from past wounds.

    Trauma can have lasting effects on the mind and body, impacting how individuals think, feel, and behave long after the event has passed. Trauma therapy offers a safe space to process painful memories and develop new ways of coping with the aftermath of traumatic experiences. The goal is to help clients reclaim their lives by working through trauma in a way that fosters healing and empowerment.

  • Guiding clients in managing and reducing anxiety to lead more peaceful, fulfilling lives.

    Anxiety can manifest in various forms, from persistent worry to debilitating panic attacks, often interfering with daily functioning and overall well-being. Anxiety-focused therapy helps clients understand the root causes of their anxiety, learn practical tools for managing symptoms, and cultivate mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Through consistent work, clients can reduce their anxiety and regain control of their thoughts and emotions.

  • Offering strategies to combat feelings of hopelessness and helping clients find meaning and joy in life again.

    Depression is more than just sadness; it’s a persistent sense of hopelessness that can affect every part of life. Therapy for depression involves identifying negative thought patterns, addressing underlying causes, and providing tools to create meaningful change. With the right therapeutic approach, individuals can begin to find joy, purpose, and a renewed sense of hope in their lives.

  • Integrating spiritual beliefs and faith into the therapeutic process for those seeking faith-centered guidance.

    For individuals whose faith is a central part of their lives, faith-based counseling offers an integrative approach that aligns therapeutic principles with spiritual beliefs. This type of therapy provides a safe space to explore both psychological and spiritual concerns, allowing clients to draw upon their faith as a resource for healing and personal growth.

  • Exploring and healing the various "parts" of oneself to foster internal harmony.

    Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as made up of multiple "parts," each with its own voice and role. In IFS therapy, individuals explore and heal these internal parts, leading to greater self-awareness and emotional harmony. This approach helps clients resolve internal conflicts and foster a sense of peace and unity within themselves.

  • Using bilateral stimulation to process and resolve emotional distress and trauma symptoms.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapy designed to assist individuals in processing and healing from traumatic experiences or limiting beliefs and behaviors. Through bilateral stimulation, EMDR enables clients to reprocess distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge. Over time, this approach fosters healing from trauma, helps individuals move forward, and builds emotional resilience.

  • Facilitating the development of a kinder, more compassionate relationship with themselves through mindfulness practices.

    MSC combines mindfulness with self-compassion to help individuals approach their struggles with greater kindness and understanding. This practice involves acknowledging difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment and treating oneself with the same care and compassion one would offer to a friend. Through MSC, clients learn to reduce self-criticism, cultivate emotional resilience, and foster a more supportive inner dialogue, leading to greater emotional well-being and personal growth.

  • Addressing and healing unresolved childhood wounds that continue to affect adult behavior and emotional responses.

    Inner child work involves reconnecting with and healing parts of ourselves that were wounded during childhood. This therapeutic approach helps clients identify and address unresolved emotions and beliefs from their early years that may still influence their behavior and feelings as adults. By nurturing the inner child, individuals can heal old wounds and foster self-compassion and emotional resilience.

  • Focusing on repairing and strengthening relationships by understanding attachment patterns formed in early life.

    Attachment theory suggests that our early experiences with caregivers shape how we form and maintain relationships throughout life. Attachment therapy helps individuals understand and address attachment-related issues, whether they stem from childhood or current relationships. By healing these attachment wounds, clients can form more secure and satisfying relationships.

  • Challenging and transforming irrational thoughts and beliefs to foster healthier emotional responses.

    Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) focuses on identifying and challenging irrational beliefs that lead to unhealthy emotions and behaviors. By helping clients recognize these negative thought patterns, REBT empowers them to replace irrational beliefs with more rational, constructive ones. This shift in thinking leads to healthier emotional responses and more effective problem-solving.

  • Navigating the unique challenges men face in emotional expression, relationships, and societal expectations.

    Addressing men's unique emotional and relational challenges, this area of focus provides support for issues such as emotional expression, societal expectations, and relationship dynamics. Therapy for men's issues helps individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and navigate the complexities of modern masculinity.

  • Facilitating healthy communication and resolution strategies for couples and families in conflict.

    Relationships can be a source of joy, but when conflict arises, they can also become a significant source of distress. Relationship therapy helps couples and families navigate these conflicts, offering strategies for effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional healing. The aim is to restore connection and create stronger, more loving relationships.

  • Helping clients navigate major changes in life, such as career shifts, relocation, or personal development.

    Major life transitions, such as moving to a new city, starting a new job, or ending a long-term relationship, can bring about stress and uncertainty. Therapy focused on life transitions provides individuals with the tools and support they need to manage the emotional and psychological challenges associated with change. This work fosters resilience and helps clients embrace new opportunities for growth and transformation.

“Like children in external families, we each have parts that want things that aren’t good for them or for the rest of the system. The difference here is that the Self says no to impulsive parts firmly but from a place of love and patience, in just the same way an ideal parent would. Additionally, in IFS, when parts do take over, we don’t shame them. Instead, we get curious and use the part’s impulse as a trailhead to find what is driving it that needs to be healed.”
