How does counseling work?
The primary goal for the first session is for us to listen to your concerns and for us to determine if working together would be a good fit. Based on the information you provide, we will make recommendations for the focus, frequency and length of counseling.
The strategies and approach used during counseling will be determined by your specific goals. Examples of goals in counseling may be:
Decrease feelings of anxiety and unwanted thoughts or behaviors.
Increase self-acceptance and self-confidence
Create and establish healthy boundaries in relationships
Increase ability to communicate in a healthy way
Explore beliefs about self, others, and God
Explore and heal underlying issues including deep-rooted fears and insecurities
Counseling continues until you believe you have met your goals for the time being. No matter what brings you to counseling, most people walk away feeling more confident, free and supported as a result.
What is the age range of clients that you serve?
We currently work with clients from 15 to 99 years old. However, we reserve the right to evaluate children from 8-14 years of age to either provide services or refer to another clinician.
