Individual Therapy

​

Individual therapy typically involves meeting on a one-to-one basis every week for 45-55 minutes. We provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults.

 

The type, length, and goals of therapy will be discussed at your first session. For individual therapy with adolescents, parents/legal guardians are required to attend alone for the first session. In cases of divorce or adoption, legal guardians are required to provide us with a copy of the most recent divorce decree or adoption record. 

 

 

Family Therapy

​

The family unit is a unique system of shared values and beliefs and lifetime experiences. Everyone in the family system largely influences one another. Various types of families exist such as blended/step families or adoptive families.

​

At times, families may get stuck in repetitive and dysfunctional patterns. Family therapy may assist family members to improve their communication with one another, enhance parent-child relationships, normalize certain behaviors, and improve family resilience.

​

Children and adolescents who are seen on an individual basis are encouraged to complete a family therapy session or parent consult session. Typically, with young children we conduct parent consult sessions without the child present. With older children and teenagers, family therapy sessions typically incorporate parent(s) and extended family members (e.g. grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins).

 

During parent consults or family therapy sessions, the goals and progress of therapy are reviewed and evaluated by all parties. Future goals are also determined during these family sessions. Parents/guardians are provided with information regarding their child's treatment.

 

 

Couples/Marital Therapy

 

Couples and marital therapy helps couples (married or not) understand and resolve problems in order to create a more fulfilling relationship.  Couples therapy provides clients with more effective ways of communicating, solving problems, and resolve past/present issues.

​

Infidelity, illness, alcoholism, drug use, parenting conflict, sexual issues, and poor communication can all be stressful life experiences. Counseling may help resolve some of these issues experienced in relationships.
