Counseling Services

For Individuals, Families, Couples and Groups

  • Do you find that you (or a loved one) need help in relationships and/or are overwhelmed with sadness, anxiety or stress?
  • Do you feel the need to have more than advice from friends?
  • Are you looking for on-going support to reestablish wellness in you or your loved one's life?

Individual, Family or Couples Counseling may be just what you need.

Couples Therapy
  • Would you like to re-connect with your partner and be able to share yourself in a warm and loving way?
  • Do you feel that your partner is not “there for you”?
  • Do you find that there is no “safe haven” at home for connection and love?

Couples counseling can provide a pathway towards creating a safe haven for reconnection, intimacy and developing new music for your couple “dance”.

Consultation and Coaching Services
  • Are you concerned about yourself or a loved one but aren't sure if counseling is the right option?
  • Do you feel the advice and short-term support from a professional would be helpful?
  • Do you feel that your life needs a new “direction”?

Consultation or coaching can provide an opportunity to ask questions, gain some valuable techniques, resources and ideas and obtain some on-going telephone support. It may be just right for you.
