“You belong here. Our singular journeys of healing are connected.”
For some, therapy is needed and/or desired for only a short period of time, with the focus being on one or a few specific issues. For others, therapy is a longer journey of growth, exploration, evolution, and support. There is no specific length of time that your healing journey must last. It is unique and specific to you. Together with your therapist you will collaboratively work together on what your healing journey will look like for you. ** Currently all sessions are held via teletherapy, not in person. **
Individual Therapy
Goodness and happiness as well as pain, stagnation, and ache are all part of the human experience. Sometimes the latter can become too much and begins to nudge us for attention. That nudge can be connected to:
- Past or childhood experiences
- Past or current relationships
- Marriage or partner issues
- Job, career and vocation; Workplace issues; School issues
- Lack of vision for the future or interest in current life
- Acute or complex traumatic experiences
- Anxiety and overwhelm
- Sexuality
- Grief and loss; Bereavement
- Life changes and transitions; Feeling stuck
- Parenthood
- Isolation and disconnection
- Identity and self-worth
- Family dynamics
- Community and friendships
- Church and spirituality changes
- Issues of race and gender
- Aging and retirement
- And many more aspects of life not listed…
There are also one-off incidents and/or one-time, significant moments of impact that really stick with us. They can leave us unsure of how we feel, what to think, or create the feeling of being “stuck” on what happened. A nudging can also be purely an invitation to make intentional space and time for yourself and your experiences.
This is where individual therapy can be a sacred and confidential time for you to work through whatever you feel is nudging you for attention. No matter what brings you into therapy, your therapist will come alongside you to help navigate your therapeutic process with you. What you desire and hope to see happen is a part of the focus of your therapy, along with whatever else may arise as you begin the journey of healing. Your therapist will welcome you, get to know you well, listen and attune to you and your hopes, and work closely with you to bring about the meaningful change and growth you want to see and experience in your life. All of what makes you who you are is welcome and your experience will be honored with an honest and caring presence from your therapist.
Individual Therapy also includes youth.
Couples Therapy
It is a gift to be in a partnership or marriage with another person. To be loved and chosen is an experience that can be both life-giving and repairing with some of life’s most intimate, beautiful moments and memories. It can also bring about some of the most significant challenges, stressors, and wounds — both your own and your partner’s.
Couples therapy provides a safe space for you and your partner to communicate about your relationship and can be helpful at any stage of the relationship including:
- Dating
- Cohabitation/Living Together
- Pre-marriage
- Partnership
- Married
- Separated/Divorced
Oftentimes, couples are seeking help from an unbiased professional to navigate what is showing up for them. Common topics or issues that come up in couples therapy include communication, family dynamics, trauma, infidelity, transitions, new parents and parenting, sexuality, intimacy and closeness, disconnection, and plans or hopes for the future. It is a common misconception that people only participate in couples therapy when something is wrong or not going well in the relationship. Sometimes couples seek therapy together to enhance their relationship and deepen the beauty that already exists between them.
The approach of our therapists is rooted in Attachment Theory/Therapy and the work from the Gottman Institute, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Connect with us to see which one of our therapists may be a good fit for you and what you are hoping to achieve in your relationship.
Family Therapy
Family Therapy is not often sought out, but it can actually be a very helpful resource for families in distress, needing extra support, going through a season of change and/or life transitions. It can oftentimes look like the following:
- Parents separating or divorcing
- A child or children being adopted
- Addressing and working through addiction(s)
- Grieving the death or loss of a loved one
- Family losses and grief due to natural disasters or family additions or changes
- Sharing an identity or sex change
- Sharing and impact of a mental health diagnosis
- Health or medical diagnosis and issues
- Aging parents and loved ones
- Dynamics and communication issues
- Family secrets
- And other family trauma, patterns, and/or wounds…
While we have our own personal and unique involvement and experience in a family system, we are also wired and function interconnected, thus why receiving some outside support and unbiased counsel can be incredibly beneficial for families. Family therapy can oftentimes be difficult to engage in, but it can be one of the most rewarding and healing experiences for all involved. When families change and heal, the generations ahead also reap the benefits of the hard, emotional work— that is truly a “labor of love”—for many years ahead.
Teletherapy (Telehealth)

We offer teletherapy for all clients/patients that are an appropriate fit for it. There are instances in which teletherapy may not be appropriate and the therapist you connect with will provide you with more information on whether it would be a fit or not. Teletherapy is a great option due to its convenience, accessibility, and flexibility.
