Clinical Services

There are a multitude of reasons you may be interested in seeking counseling. Perhaps you're looking to weather the storm of a current crisis, or figure out how to create an anchor for your life. Maybe life is going fairly well for you, and you're looking for ways to rise to new heights and expand your vision of whole life health.

Maybe you've been encouraged to seek counseling by loved ones, or you're seeking it out because you know there has to be a better way to live the life you're leading.

Seeking a therapist can be daunting. There are many clinicians available, and numerous methods of treatment available. Whether you're ready to start counseling now or just want to chat about if therapy is right for you, feel free to browse around the services we offer or reach out directly so we can begin your journey into the fulfilling life you deserve.

Individuals

Individual counseling is an opportunity for you to work on, through, and gain insight about issues going on in your life. These might be issues you're well-aware of, but can also be unknown and unexpected issues.

Traditionally, individual therapy is going to be focused on talking about and through issues and situations in your life. Services may last for anywhere from a few sessions to several years depending on what your individual needs may be. Initial sessions are often conversational in nature, where you will have an opportunity to work with the therapist to explore and assess areas in your life in which you may be struggling. Over time, you and your therapist may engage more specific activities during session, referred to as "interventions" or "modalities," such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT), Somatic, and Narrative.

Common individual issues we work with include:

Trauma, PTSD, and C-PTSD

Addictive Behaviors & Disorders

Borderline Personality Disorder

Dissociative Disorders

Codependency

Families

Family therapy can augment your current work individually, or be an opportunity for the family members to come together to support the collective healing of all family members. Sessions can consist of including just your partner or the entire immediate family, and remember that "family" can include your chosen family. Often, if only one individual makes changes in their life, other intimate relationships can actually begin to suffer. This is due to people getting into routines of relating to one another, so when one person begins to change and the other(s) don't, things can get even more complicated.

All of our therapists have extensive experience working in and around complex and frequently high-conflict family units dealing with the consequences of addiction, infidelity, trauma, betrayal, and estrangement, in a variety of different settings from in-home to inpatient hospitalization. Wherever you and your family may be, we are privileged to work alongside you as you navigate the challenges of reconciliation.

Common family issues we work with include:

Parenting & Co-Parenting

High-Risk Parent-Child dynamics

Addiction Recovery

Communication Issues

Polyamory & Ethical Non-Monogamy

Creating Stability

Maybe you feel like the chaos keeps following you.

Or that you can't catch a break at home, work, or life in general.

Maybe you are just realizing that your usual coping skills aren't quite enough to help you out in this season of life.

Perhaps you've done a recent self-inventory and realized you've been feeling "off" for a really, really long time.

Or, most painfully, family or friends are telling you that you're making things up, making things worse, or that you're the Problem.

Let us make this clear:

the PROBLEM is the problem.

Behaviors, mental health issues, and life situations can all be problems. And often, these problems occur simultaneously.

Recovery & Reconciliation

Once you're in a place of relative stability, we can start to explore ways to maintain and ultimately expand that stability.

Building or rebuilding self-esteem and a sense of worthiness are at the core of the work we will do together.

One of the first things we will explore is how most therapy happens outside of the session; at home, in conversations with others, in the small moments with yourself. To support your growth process, we may identify ways to nurture this through a small commitment to yourself beyond our sessions. This may include reading assignments, workbooks, activities both solo and with friends/family, and working towards clearly defined and agreed-upon goals.

A life worth LIVING

Moving forward into a life of stability can be much, much harder than it sounds. When you've been living in chaos for much of your life, the concept of stability can sound serene, tranquil, boring, and anxiety-inducing. Many people I've worked with have described times of peace as "waiting for the other shoe to drop."

Learning to love the quiet

It is actually in the quiet moments that we are able to turn inward and identify what our deepest desires and dreams may be. We may explore several different skills to support your skillfulness being still with yourself to allow those desires and dreams to make themselves known, such as self-talk, anxiety management, meditation, journaling, or other mindful practices.

Clinical Supervision

For provisionally licensed social workers seeking clinical licensure, it can be difficult to know how to learn all the things you just don't know - yet. Clinical supervision fills in some of the many gaps between graduate-level instruction and real-world clinical challenges.

Whether you're interested in pursuing a clinical license or simply seeking additional supervision while transitioning into a new area of practice, we are excited to support, encourage, and guide you on your journey.
