Feeling better starts by taking the first step...

If you are seeking counseling, you are probably struggling with an experience in life that is painful, confusing, numbing or unsettling. This is normal and there IS a way through. Individual counseling allows us to explore the unique and personal circumstances that have brought you to this moment, to identify what is needed to help you feel free and to give you strategies to powerfully pursue your goals and dreams. 

Common issues and experiences benefiting from counseling: 

• Anxiety and Depression
• Relationships and Communication
• Grief, Loss and Adjustment
• Life Transitions
• Work and Career Satisfaction
• Personal Awareness, Balance and Integration
• LGBTQ+ Experiences
• Spirituality, Meditation and Mindfulness
• Moving on from Abuse and Addiction
• Autism and Neurodiversity

Children and adolescents are in a very different place in life than adults, and their struggles require a different approach. As adults,we forget what it is like to be new on this planet and to be figuring out how the world works for the very first time. Children and adolescents are trying to make sense of their relationship to the world…through everyone else’s lenses. Counseling allows them to begin to locate in themselves and to trust their own experience through: social-emotional education, family systems education, opportunities for personal communication and reflection, and exercises to build self-awareness and self-confidence.

Relationships are the hardest things we do as humans. They are important and powerful forces in our lives, but they are NOT easy and they are rarely intuitive. We must learn to be in relationship. In counseling, we will identify the strengths and the barriers contributing to the current state of your relationship. We will restore (or establish): thoughtful communication, empathy, trust, friendship, emotional and physical intimacy, individual autonomy within the relationship, or look at ways to thoughtfully and compassionately separate from the relationship.

There are areas of our lives that sometimes get knotted, stuck, or buried and, despite how much we have worked on them in therapy or in life, they seem to not loosen. In these cases, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) may be a powerful tool in helping you access, work with, release and integrate these experiences. Examples may include: childhood or adult traumas, deep sadness or an inability to move on from divorce or grief, or existential dread.
