Our counselors are comfortable and skilled at providing
counseling in a manner that addresses spiritual needs and respects a clients
religious beliefs and values. Many organizations provide counseling but we seek to treat
the entirety of a person or family in a balanced holistic manner including spiritual
issues.
Our focus is not on generating profits but on providing needed
professional services for the communities we serve. Most of our clients pay for services
themselves. We seek and accept donations as a means to offset the cost of providing
professional services to clients who are unable to pay.
Counseling is successful when a client experiences positive personal
growth, develops problem solving and coping skills and sees a reduction in bothersome
symptoms or problems. Depression, anxiety, addictions, poor self-esteem and many other
issues are well addressed by individual counseling.
Marriage & Family Counseling
A strong healthy marriage is the best thing for a happy nurturing home. Although no one
gets married planning to divorce more than half of all marriages end in divorce. Investing
in marriage and family relationships pays dividends in life satisfaction, personal health
and emotional well being. Problems like infidelity, unresolved conflict, emotional
distance and interpersonal violence can be addressed with marital therapy. Family
counseling can help both parents and children by addressing problems with discipline,
abuse, behavior or school problems.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is an ideal way to learn new ways of relating to others. It can help
participants understand how others see them, provide a safe place to practice new
relational skills and develop confidence. Groups are commonly organized by subject or
problem area. Groups for anger management, grief, parenting and abuse survival are common.
Educational presentations, workshops or seminars
Although not designed to substitute for counseling many people benefit from training on
mental health related topics like parenting, stress management, marriage enrichment,
treatment choices for depression, etc. We provide customized presentations to meet the
needs of most any organization.
Testing and Reports
Testing provides a great deal of useful information and can aid in diagnosis, developing
treatment goals and tracking progress. Alcohol and drug testing, temperament analysis and
personality profiles are just some of the clinical testing services we provide. Reports
can be prepared as requested for court, school, employers etc.
Referrals and Psychiatric Consultation
Some clients would benefit from services we dont provide. Referrals to additional
treatment resources are made as needed or requested. Medication management is a valuable
option for treating mental health disorders. Although we do not provide psychiatric or
medication services we work closely with clients and their doctors to monitor medication
effectiveness and side effects.
