We will look at the core topics of marriage through the lenses of who you are as individuals and how your similarities and differences shape who you are as a couple. Some of the topics we will explore together include:
This is a wise investment in your future. Premarital counseling makes an amazing gift. Put it on your registry right above the quesadilla maker ; )
We want you to see counseling as a place for growth.
A place for developing clarity, and insight.
A place to think.
A place to look at your marriage from different angles and perspectives.
A place with a fresh set of eyes and ears to help you make sense out of what you are going through.
A place to struggle, not just for the sake of struggling, but for the sake of growth.
Marriage counseling is a tool for growth.
Family counseling gets everyone in the room together and takes the time to look with intention, not at who's to blame, but at what our family is doing — how we're growing and adapting (sometimes very poorly) — and helps us become empowered to get unstuck.
We can learn to support each other as we change, and to adapt and grow as a family with purpose instead of the haphazard sort of responses that are born out of fear and confusion.
We can work together on who in the family needs to be present. Sometimes it's everyone; sometimes its only two or three family members. It can change from session to session and season to season. We'll work that out together.
Most of us experience seasons in life where we feel stuck. Wounds, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life changing events can intrude upon our life, and sometimes we find that our normal ways of coping and our support systems are not quite enough.
In those times we often need someone to offer us a gentle and caring hand. To walk with us, to help us process our life without judgement. To offer us fresh insight, clarity of truth, and new skills, tools and ways of thinking that free us to move toward more life.
In individual therapy, we take this journey together — exploring the tangled web of relationships and the inner workings that make us who we are, while providing practical tools and ways of coping that empower a life lived fully.
We will meet you where you are without judgement and help you gain understanding and insight as you process. You can also expect to develop skills and tools to accompany your insight.
You will partner with your counselor or coach, deciding together the goals and the process to get there as you move forward.
We typically meet with individuals weekly for 45-50 minute sessions. The number of sessions will vary depending on each person's needs and their situation.
