Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, each therapist meets with you one-on-one in a comforting environment where you can work through your deepest struggles. These struggles are often relationship or family issues, anxiety, grief, depression, and stressful transitions. These may sound like very different challenges, but they have similarities. They are overwhelming. They hold you back from experiencing joy.
Working with a counselor, we explore your story together. Based on your individual goals, we can incorporate various methodologies like cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, trauma-informed counseling, and family systems therapy, among others. Each therapist incorporates her training and experience with mental health and the client’s natural coping skills to help find ways to grow and change. If requested, we also can integrate Christian faith into the therapy from the Bible, theology, and some Christian authors. However, none of us imposes our faith on our clients, and are happy to work with people from different belief systems.
Pre-Marital and Pre-Engagement Counseling
Pre-Marital counseling is a wonderful opportunity for an engaged couple to have thorough discussions about their relationship strengths, areas in need of growth, and their future. Becca Coley, LPC-S and Megan Beckman, LPC-A are certified to facilitate the PrePare/Enrich assessment. This is not a pass/fail test that determines if you should or shouldn’t get married, but instead a research based inventory that helps you evaluate how you relate to each other in specific areas of marriage like communication, financial planning, family of origin issues, and personality type.
As we use the assessment to walk through these topics we also take into account your present support systems and walks with God. This is an amazing opportunity to prepare yourselves for the transitions and changes that are to come. Marriage is exciting and wonderful, but there will be challenges. Pre-marital counseling is an opportunity to strengthen your relationship and build tools to equip you for what is to come. Pre-engagement counseling is a chance for a dating couple to thoroughly consider their compatibility, communication, and strengths so that they can feel confident as they decide whether to commit to the next step in their relationship.
