Counseling is an opportunity…
Counseling is relevant support and timely intervention…
Counseling is a profession based on trust…
People come to counseling asking for help with situations they have not been able to resolve or change on their own—they come because they have a need and many times, because they are in pain. Counseling is an opportunity to explore your situation at a different level, with a new focus. We believe that counseling should offer relevant support that brings timely intervention and addresses the needs of the moment. As you enter the counseling process, we believe you are entrusting your situation into our care. We place high value on this trust and meet it with our commitment…

Use of Assessment Tools:
Various assessment tools may be recommended during your counseling service. These are used to help you and the counselor get a clearer understanding of personality characteristics, behavioral tendencies, relational dynamics, and possible problem areas. The cost of these assessments and related services may vary and are separate from your regular session fees.
