Who We Help

We provide short-term counseling to support couples understand and resolve problems, gain a new perspective on current challenges, learn to communicate effectively, and resolve conflict in a healthy manner. Couples counseling seeks to promote strategies to nurture the relationship and find new ways to connect.

It’s Not as Bad
as You Think
Counseling is a step towards exploring thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behaviors.
Self-exploration and self-awareness can be a result of the therapeutic process.
“One of the hardest jobs is the internal work we do on ourselves. We hope to give our clients the guidance, a sense of trust, as well as safety in order to do that.”
