Online Individual Counseling

In Individual Counseling, the dialogue is between the client and the therapist. Individual therapy promotes a warm, open, flexible therapeutic relationship, which over time helps to develop new strengths and skills. Through counseling, a person's life issues often emerge and touch upon areas that concern the client which may include relationships, work, past traumas, emotional, mental, sexual , or and/or physical abuse and other issues.

Individual counseling or therapy is often indicated for people in crisis or who are experiencing some of the following: pre-existing mental health conditions, trauma, multiple stressors, or relations issues.

The goal of counseling or therapy is to help you achieve your own goals and to feel the freedom of past or present issues by which you feel burdened by using the art and science of psychotherapeutic techniques and interventions.

Online Couple Counseling

In couples counseling one of the major goals is to gain insight into your relationship dynamics. We begin by establishing ground rules for communication; we discuss what it will take to mutually repair your relationship; how you can make positive changes and your commitment to making your relationship work.

Before you consider beginning in couple counseling, think about whether you care enough about each other to take the time and energy that therapy takes to build a better relationship. Know that it is okay to reach out to ask for help. Couple counseling helps to create a safe environment where each person will not feel defensive or attacked when they perceive something that isn’t working in their relationship.

Before beginning couple counseling, ask your partner how they feel about initiating couple counseling. Make sure to carefully listen to their thoughts, feelings and concerns, so they feel a part of the process too. Communicating with each other is difficult for everyone initially. Many partners may dominate the each other by threatening divorce, emotionally, mentally or physically abusing one another to maintain the unbalanced power within the relationship.

Learning to communicate differently opens the door to better listening skills, and caring for one another. It creates a foundation to grow, to love, and to thrive establishing a sense of integrity, equality and balance with yourself and each other. have over 30 years of specialized experience in conducting evaluations and psycho-diagnostic assessments and providing evidence-based psychotherapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families.
