Our Services

Child & Family Counseling
Is there something you’d like to change about your family? Is there something you want to achieve that has special meaning for you? These are all possible, but sometimes the things we want the most are the most important to us can also be the most difficult to achieve. We offer counseling services for families and children in order to address concerns in a constructive and strategic way. We work with children who are experiencing behavioral issues, mental health concerns, life transitions such as divorce or separation, and traumatic event recovery.

Couples Counseling
The choice to marry is one of the most important decisions a person can make, and yet many people do not put in the effort needed to prepare for their marital relationships. There is more to a marriage than planning a wedding, which involves building skills to help fashion a happy and lasting union. Couples Counseling can be extremely benifical to the health of most relationships. Couples seek out counseling when they want to improve their relationship, or have become unhappy with their current relationship. We offer couples counseling, marriage counseling, and pre-maritcal counseling.

Individual Counseling
Sometimes the only way forward is working through some of our more personal issues. These can be related to mental health, relationships, or a career. We offer Mental Health counseling, anger maagnement, PTSD therapy, and a host of other treatment options.
