Counseling/

Therapy

The terms counseling and therapy are often used interchangeably. In some ways, they are the same. Strictly speaking a counselor helps an individual understand and solve problems and a therapist helps individuals understand themselves to include their mood, feelings, behaviors and style of thought. I am always available to help people with specific problems and challenges but I tend to function more as a therapist in an effort to help people understand their foundational patterns of behavior and thought.

Relationship Counseling

I have counseled hundreds of couples over the years and generally find that relationship difficulties are tied to individual challenges that often predate the relationship. My approach to relationship counseling is to see you individually at least once and then as a couple at least once; I then write an assessment and proposed treatment plan. The individual sessions are billable to insurance, the combined session generally is not and costs $200.

Therapy with Adolescents

Therapy with adolescents can be very challenging, especially if they are not wanting to be in counseling. I have experience working with teens who may initially be reluctant to engage in the process. In time, I find that most teens will engage to some degree.
