We believe strongly that engaging all stakeholders in the therapy process significantly improves outcomes. 

Group Therapy 

​Family Therapy 

Group therapy provides benefits that individual therapy may not. Groups can act as a support network and a sounding board. Other members of the group often help you come up with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge, and hold you accountable along the way.
​Regularly talking and listening to others also helps you put your own problems in perspective.  Oftentimes, you may feel like you are the only one struggling — but you're not. It can be a relief to hear others discuss what they're going through, and realize you're not alone. Seeing how other people, from differing backgrounds, tackle problems and make positive changes, can help you discover a whole range of strategies for facing your own concerns.

Couples Counseling 

Couples therapy involves partners in a committed relationship being treated at the same time by the same therapist or therapists. Couples therapy is concerned with problems within and between the individuals that affect the relationship. For example, one partner may have undiagnosed depression that is affecting the relationship, or both partners may have trouble communicating effectively with one another. Individual sessions may be provided separately to each partner, particularly at the beginning of therapy; most of the course of therapy, however, is provided to both partners together.

​Family therapy can help you improve troubled relationships with your partner, children or other family members. You may address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or the impact of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family.

Supervision

Supervision involves talking through the impact clinical work has on the clinician, finding solutions to difficult problems and exploring ethical dilemma. . It is vital for practitioners' well-being, professional development, and management oversight. Most importantly, supervision helps you to achieve the best possible outcomes for your clients. 

​Love is not just a passion spark between two people; there is infinite difference between falling in love and standing in love. Rather, love is a way of being, a "giving to," not a 'falling for"; a mode of relating at large, not an act limited to a single person.
