Individualized Sessions
"Addressing the needs of Adults, Teens, and Children"

Our goal is to transform your;

  • Depression to happiness
  • Grief to acceptance
  • Anger to calm
  • Confusion to clarity
  • Loneliness to closeness

Individual psychotherapy is a wonderful way to address the personal issues that prevent you from finding the happiness that you deserve. Childhood pain, work related problems, and behavioral issues are just a few of the many issues that can be addressed by our professionally trained team.

Our staff are either licensed by the state of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist, or supervised by a licensed professional. Because not all approaches work for all people our staff are trained in a variety of different therapeutic modalities. Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Neuro-Liguistic Programming (NLP), Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR), and Reflective Listening are just a few of the approaches used to help you find the answers you seek.

Couples
Counseling
"Healing hurt, loneliness, and anger."

When working with couples in therapy there are three phases:

1) decreasing reactivity by aiding couples in taking individual responsibility
2) reconnecting the pair
3) promoting true communication or self love.

Traditional marital therapy works on communication skills as a way to restore the relationship.  Our approach to working with couples seeks first to restore the relationship. Once trust, love, and respect are reestablished then and only then will a couple be able to communicate about their hurts, disappointment, and fears.

Prepare for your future by learning the skills needed to stay happily married. Include in your wedding plans, plans for your marriage.

Relaxation Training
"Relieve fear, anxieties, and/or stressors."


Biofeedback, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), and Meditation Training are several of the approaches that are provided to relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, or panic.

Feelings of agitation may come from a highly toned nervous system, or be the result of particular stressors that arise as part of life. Wherever our feelings of upset stem from, learning to counter these intense emotions is essential to moving forward. The secret is found in understanding and mastering our physiology. It is physiologically impossible to be both stressed and relaxed at the same time. Exploiting this fact, we can dramatically reduce or eliminate feelings of stress and/or anxiety by learning to calm our bodies. If you hear yourself saying, “I just don’t know how to relax” then making an individualized appointment will provide you with the tools necessary to combat the emotions that hold you back from being all you want to be.
