Our services are designed to be available to all. A fee is charged (based on family annual income), to enable us to offer continuous, competent services. The fee also allows the client to participate in and accept responsibility for the care he/she receives. The fee will be discussed at the time of the first session.
Referrals and Appointments
Referrals are received from ministers, physicians, churches, pastors, and community agencies. However anyone may call to make an appointment. Appointments are made by calling the office where you wish to be seen.
Depression
People who struggle with depression often feel down for extended periods. They lose interest in activities that they once found pleasurable. Depression negatively affects millions of Americans each year.
Anxiety and Stress
Stress and anxiety are related, but often confused. Stress is tension associated with a specific event (e.g. a test or a job), while anxiety is a non-specific worry about the future. To find relief, people with anxiety may turn to repetitive routines, preoccupations, or addictions.
Arguments
Conflict resolution is an important part of any relationship. Conflict plays a vital role in allowing two people to reconcile differing needs. Unfortunately, when conflict is handled poorly, it can cause distress in the relationship.
Trauma
Experiences that overwhelm or scare us can leave a lasting impression. The symptoms can leave us stressed, depressed, and have negative consequences for our work and home life.
Communication
Feeling understood and understanding one's partner is what allows couples to deeply share one anothers lives. Often, couples struggle with communication issues, which actually mask deeper relationship issues.
Trust
Trust plays a vital role in sustaining a relationship. People trust differently. For some, trust is established quickly, while others are slow to grant trust. Similarly, some are able to forgive quickly, while others find it hard.
Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is a feeling of personal worth. It is important to be able to value yourself regardless of your current state of personal achievement, beauty, or intelligence. Your self-esteem creates the foundation for a full life, great relationships, and a feeling of well-being.
