Our Counseling Services

Clients come to our center for a wide range of reasons, all hoping to feel and function better. You are welcomed to seek our services. The approach to treatment varies from person to person and may initially include considerable work involving the client's past experiences. For others, treatment may emphasize current experiences. We strive to provide a supportive environment so you can work toward your unique goals.

Individual Therapy

In individual counseling or therapy, a client meets one-on-one with a therapist in 50-minute sessions. This working relationship may last for only a few sessions or may continue for much longer, depending on the needs of the client. Clients also come to the center to work toward developing a better self-image or to achieve personal growth.
