Individual Therapy

Gaining Insight

Individual therapy sessions last one hour. Within this time the individual has a chance to explore in depth the feelings, thoughts, life circumstances and patterns of behavior that he/she wants to change and understand. It is a chance to talk about issues that they may have never discussed with anyone else and to get feedback from a professional about these very important issues. Individual therapy is a very important gift that one gives to self. A chance to unburden, to gain insight, and to learn to at times, make wiser life choices in the future.

Couples Therapy

Communicating and Resolving Conflict

No two couples are alike. Each individual brings to the partnership a unique set of strengths and vulnerabilities. Generally, in couples therapy the therapist will guide the couple to pay attention to the life stage, communication patterns, family history, culture and situational challenges that each couple may be facing. Within the sessions each partner will get a chance to be heard and to express their thoughts and feelings about changing or maintaining patterns of behavior that have become a problem for the couple.

Every couples course in therapy will reflect their special partnership and a treatment plan and goals will be developed accordingly.

Parenting Classes

Gaining in confidence

There are no perfect parents. All of us can learn to improve our parenting skills. In the parenting classes, techniques for parents drawn from the STEP method, or (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting) will be practiced by participants. Classes will be held in small groups so that parents can practice and learn from other parents with children about the same age as theirs. Classes for parents of pre-school, elementary or high school students will be held periodically.

Programs

There are times when a combination of stressors, (job, family life or relationships, financial distress, etc. or others) may combine to make us feel overwhelmed. At these times it is good to have a place for a thoughtful retreat from our challenges so that we can gather our strength to meet them. Brief therapy is designed to help individuals problem solve in a supportive atmosphere and return to their regular level of functioning. It is important to have someone who can offer that support and counseling that will facilitate that process.
