Individual Counseling

Individualized

Because you are created with originality

Your therapy begins with an in-depth online assessment that helps tailor therapy to who you are and your deepest hopes for counseling. Our individualized approach is rooted in a strong therapeutic alliance which includes a clear formulation of the issues that can be communicated clearly and compassionately to our clients.

Multi-dimensional

Speaking to your complexities

As human persons, our problems tend to be multi-dimensional and complex involving many factors. It logically follows that a client's treatment should be multi-dimensional. Drawing on various methods, we look for the root issues to a person’s emotional suffering and decide what treatments best fit to facilitate healing and growth.

Although we come from diverse professional and theoretical backgrounds, we emphasize therapy approaches that are depth oriented, experiential, and place a high value on the therapy relationship. Based on our formulation of the issues and needs of the client, we select which treatments will best serve them in meeting their counseling goals. These approaches include Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Schema Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Processing Therapy.

Destination

Knowing where you’re going

Through a caring partnership, we help you access and clarify what you desire for your life and relationships. Therapy is not just about eliminating symptoms. We care about bringing symptom relief but God has created us for more; there is a big difference between not being depressed or anxious and feeling happy and peaceful. We align with serving your deepest desires for living.

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.” (C.S. Lewis)
