Trauma Recovery
We have specialized training in trauma recovery. This is such a sensitive area and long journey. Our counselors will stay with you through the difficult phases of uncovering and healing from the trauma in your past.
Life Coaching, Personal Coaching, and Relationship Coaching
Coaching differs from counseling in that coaching starts with the here and now and looks forward to the personal, relational, and professional goals that a client want to see come to fruition. Counseling tends to focus on the past and events and relationships that stunted a client or robbed them in an emotional way.
Coaching can be don’t without the client actually coming to the clinician’s office. It is a very, very powerful means to encourage optimum functioning and positive movement in the client’s life.
Retreats/Workshops
We provide half-day, full-day, overnight, or weekend retreats and workshops. See our list of special topics.
