Aphiemi Counseling

While raising a difficult teenager, I discovered that there was not a reasonable and safe manner of treating his difficulties. Upon retirement from the US Air Force, I completed a graduate degree in counseling/education and have developed the skills to assist others with facing their own challenges. I could have ended up working in other settings, but having the freedom of owning my business has created.

I would love to demonstrate to you that I can assist individuals and families create/maintain healthy boundaries, develop healthy communication skills, and create more effective problem-solving skills. I truly believe that I "can work myself out of a job," as you begin to benefit from stability of mood. Additionally, I offer services without judgement and believe that integration of faith/spirituality can be the key to success.

Presently, I only offer services in the state of Idaho and solely online.

Covid-19 forced many of the services for mental health to be provided online. I recall struggling with finding an adequate way of creating a therapeutic alliance with those getting substance use treatment and co-occurring mental health problems. Individually or in group, I witnessed the creation of hope and forgiveness. And this was accomplished from the homes or other settings that clients and their families logged in remotely. This assured that adequate safeguards related to spreading Covid-19 were reduced.
