Therapy services

Talking with a therapist or counselor can help you deal with thoughts, behaviors, and symptoms associated with stress, past experiences and mental health disorders.  Of course, talking with a therapist about personal issues can be tough, but it can help you come to grips with problems in your life. It can also offer an emotional release and a sense of really being heard, understood and supported.  

Individual counseling and mental health therapy services are for adults. 

Trauma is defined as “a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.” There is a lot of misunderstanding and stigma surrounding this topic. The idea that people can simply “get over it” and move on without help can often cause added distress and problems. Many people have experienced trauma and are afraid to talk about it. This can include childhood abuse, domestic violence, accidents, loss, and assault. Working through trauma can seem daunting at first. These things can be difficult to even think about, much less discuss. However, talking with a trained professional can be beneficial because trauma doesn’t go away if we ignore it. Traumatic experiences can lead to a variety of issues such as anxiety, difficulty sleeping, hypervigilance, depression, physical illness, and more. Working with a trauma informed therapist can help ease these struggles and help you live the life you want.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies in order to help individuals better understand and manage their thoughts and emotions in order to achieve relief from feelings of distress.
