Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, each therapist meets with a client one-on-one in a comforting environment where she can share her 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 women back from experiencing joy. They are often based on hurtful lies a woman tells herself.
In individual therapy we confront these lies head on and fight them with truth. We look to the Bible, Christian theology, and the client’s relationship with God to give us foundations for truth as we go through the counseling process. Each therapist incorporates her experience with mental health and the client’s natural coping skills to help find ways to grow and change.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a therapeutic treatment designed to help clients heal from past trauma or other distressing experiences. It involves specific eye movement while focusing on the memory associated with the trauma. The goal is to change the way the memory is stored in the brain so as to reduce or eliminate the distress associated with memory. Hannah Dolliver, LPC was trained in EMDR in 2019 and can incorporate it into client sessions, especially those who are healing from past trauma. She has observed the effectiveness of this treatment while working with clients.
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 Hannah Dolliver, LPC 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.
