Individual Therapy

People in therapy can learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching goals. Common goals of therapy can be to increase understanding of your own thoughts and behavior patterns, help increase function and well-being, inspire change, and improve overall quality of life. Many find they enjoy the therapeutic journey of becoming more self-aware.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is about helping you to learn and practice the tools that help you achieve a better relationship. Your therapist can figure out where you experience stumbling blocks in your approach to conflict, how you deal with your responses and evaluate your repair attempts after conflict. We help couples learn better communication skills, increase trust and enhance intimacy.

Play
Therapy

Play therapy offers a safe and non-directive environment where children can use toys, games, and creative activities to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By engaging in play, children can convey their inner struggles, develop coping strategies, and build a trusting relationship with the therapist. The therapist observes and interprets the child's play behavior to gain insights into their emotional world, facilitating healing and personal growth.
