{ APPROACH & PHILOSOPHY }

We offer collaborative relationship in a open, compassionate environment,
and use creative techniques tailored for each individual person, couple or family based on their individual style & goals.

Our style combines a blend of therapies including EMDR, Lifespan Integration, Art & Expressive Therapy, Somatic Therapies, Integrative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Equine Assisted Psychotheray and Mindfulness Training in order to assist clients in gaining greater awareness & connection with others, themselves and in the world.

We offer a holistic approach to psychotherapy, which is a philosophy characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account the mind, body and spirit, rather than just the physical symptoms. Holistic is defined by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole person.

Individual Therapy

The goals of therapy are determined collaboratively by client and therapist at the beginning of treatment. Our goal to help clients achieve a greater sense of well-being, improved intimacy in relationships with others and themselves, healthy boundaries, improved self-esteem, authentic communication, a reduction in self-sabotaging behaviors, and a sense of trust in themselves and their happiness in the world.

Couples & Family Therapy

When problems occur within a relationship or family, it is important to examine the problem as a symptom of a larger systemic issue. Change cannot occur in isolation if the change is to endure over time. In couples and family therapy, dynamics are explored to create change, restore balance, harmonize relationships, set proper boundaries, develop skills and resources, and improve the overall level of communication, connection, and trust.

Being a part of a successful couple involves a lot of compromise, and this can be very challenging at times. We assist couples explore relationship issues and communication patterns, create a greater awareness of each partners patterns, evaluate expectations, increase connection and enhance intimacy.

Child, Teen & Parenting Therapy

Individual therapy for children and teens is often much different from adult therapy. Since children have a more difficulty verbally communcating feelings, it is important to provide an environment to explore these feelings safely using play, art, sandtray, equine assisted psychotherapy, and other expressive techniques. Teens are striving for a balance between dependence and independence, and often have a difficult time understanding and expressing their confusing needs. We assist parents in improving communication, setting boundaries, and coping with conflicts.

We address numerous children’s and teen’s issues including: separation anxiety, ADHD, acting out, fears and phobias, sibling issues, bed-wetting, anger and aggression, discipline, behavioral issues, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.
