Individual & Couples Therapy

Because time does NOT heal all wounds.

Sometimes, in your life, things are not going the way you want.
You 're hurting and feeling out of control. You've tried to solve the problems on your own or maybe you have confided in a close friend or family member. Yet, you're still not feeling any better. At times like this, and we've all been there, therapy can help. You can learn new skills and coping strategies; you can even change the way you think about a problem.

Sharing your story with an unbiased professional not only feels good, it reminds you that there are usually other solutions and options that you never even considered.

Couples Therapy

Take the first step toward building a happy and healthy relationship.
"Our greatest
joy and our greatest pain comes in our
relationships
with others."

- Steven Covey

Couples therapy can be really helpful at the following times:

• You're taking that next step!
You're moving in together or getting married or having a baby. While you're excited, you're also nervous. How do you handle this transition and build your relationship?

• "You've lost that loving feeling."
You love your partner, but you're feeling disconnected. Communication is off, you're arguing a lot, and there's not much sex. How do you start talking, stop fighting, and get close again?

• There's been a crisis!
You've just discovered that your spouse has been lying to you or cheating on you. You're devastated and angry and wonder if the relationship can be saved. How will you ever get beyond this and trust again?

• The relationship is over.
You have decided that the relationship is not working and can't be fixed. You're breaking up or divorcing, and you're feeling sad and ​scared. How do you (and your kids) get through this?

So, please, if your relationship is going through a stressful time, don't wait to get help.
