Individual Therapy
When we work with an individual, we always start by getting to know you first and building an understanding of your strengths and your goals. We may also try to get a picture of your family and what your childhood was like in order to see if there are any events or patterns that are relevant to your goals. Part of therapy might include things like building coping skills, and assigning exercises to try between sessions.
Marriage or Couple's Therapy
Relationships take work, but sometimes no matter how hard you try it seems like you’re going nowhere. When you think you’ve tried everything and nothing is getting through to your partner, our pre-licensed therapists can help each of you feel heard and understood as the starting point to build new patterns for your relationship.
The benefit of working with a couple together is that your therapist can often see how patterns of interaction play out within the sessions, which helps them offer different options for the couple to try. Guidance provided within the session can help shape a new framework to begin building on, and working towards the goals established throughout treatment.
Family Therapy
Family sessions can have a lot of material to unpack, so the start of therapy will focus on getting a very clear picture of the family’s needs. Commonly, each individual might view the problem as being someone else’s. Our role starts by building the understanding that no one person owns “the problem” and everyone can take responsibility to becoming part of the solution.
A benefit of working together as a family system in therapy is that it allows for consistency in the direction of growth and change as a unit. Often the goal of therapy is not necessarily to solve everything, but the assist families in building enough skills and understanding to be able to draw on their own resources.
Discernment Counseling
If you or your spouse are considering divorce but are not completely sure that’s the best path,you are in a tough spot. And Discernment Counseling is designed for you. It’s a chance to slowdown, take a breath, and look at your options for your marriage.
Discernment Counseling is a new way of helping couples where one person is “leaning out” ofthe relationship—and not sure that regular marriage counseling would help--and the other is“leaning in”—that is, interested in rebuilding the marriage.
The counselor will help you decide whether to try to restore your marriage to health, move toward divorce, or take a time out and decide later.
The goal is for you to gain clarity and confidence about a direction, based on a deeper understanding of your relationship and its possibilities for the future.
The goal is not to solve your marital problems but to see if they are solvable. You will each be treated with compassion and respect no matter how you are feeling about your marriage at the moment. No bad guys and good guys.
You will come in as a couple but the most important work occurs in the one-to-one conversations with the counselor. Why? Because you are starting out in different places.
The counselor respects your reasons for divorce while trying to open up the possibility of restoring the marriage to health.
The counselor emphasizes the importance of each of you seeing your own contributions to the problems and the possible solutions. This will be useful in future relationships even if this one ends.
Number of Sessions: A maximum of five counseling sessions. The first session is usually two hours and the subsequent are 1.5 or 2 hours.
Discernment Counseling is not Suited for these situations:
• When one spouse has already made a final decision to divorce • When one spouse is coercing the other to participate
• When there is danger of domestic violence
