About counseling
Who can benefit from counseling?
It can take a lot of courage to acknowledge the need for support, especially when you already feel overwhelmed, depleted or hopeless. Counseling, whether individual, couples or family therapy, lets you and your therapist build the relationship that the work depends on, whatever your goals.
Sessions are nonjudgmental and neutral, focused on guiding and supporting you through change and the development of healthy coping strategies. Together you work through traumatic experiences, life stressors, anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns.
Sessions are available on weekdays, after work and on Saturdays. Our couples therapist has completed level 3 training of the Gottman Institute, an evidence-based model designed to strengthen relationships and reduce conflict.
