Many people struggle when faced with difficult problems or challenges. The death of a loved one can cause prolonged grief, or the end of a relationship can create a long period of sadness. A traumatic event may lead to episodes of fear or panic. Or perhaps substance abuse is taking a toll on your life. Individual psychotherapy can help identify ways to manage these and other challenges.

Finding healthy ways to cope is critical. Undesirable coping styles include yelling, withdrawing, or incidents of violence, among other things. These may be related to problems with mood, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, relationship issues, alcohol and drug use, or other factors. Psychotherapy helps people learn to manage life’s challenges, so unhealthy ways of coping can be replaced with better choices. Individual psychotherapy can lessen symptoms and provide an improved sense of well-being.

Couples counseling can help couples examine, understand, and resolve conflicts. Our therapists can help you and your partner identify tools to communicate better, negotiate differences, problem solve, and even argue in a healthier way.

Our office welcomes all couples in our practice, regardless of marital status or gender.  The only requirement is that both individuals share a goal of improving their relationship.

In group therapy, clients meet in a small group setting with individuals who share similar concerns, or want to target the same type of problem. People in group therapy often attend individual therapy as well, although that is not always the case.

Group settings provide a variety of benefits. Peers can provide a sounding board. Actively listening to others can help you put your own problems in perspective. Seeing how other people tackle their problems and make positive changes can help you advance towards your own goals.
