Welcome, we are a comprehensive psychological service designed to help you help yourself overcome your psychological, emotional, energetic and health challenges by gaining a balance in your life and developing a positive creative approach to living.

The first step in dealing with your life is recognizing that there is a problem and that there is something you can do about it. There are many factors that can cause emotional struggles. They can be learned, they can be set off by situations and people around you or they can be organic. The resulting uncomfortable feelings, inappropriate behavior, negative thoughts and poor health can be displayed in erratic or chronic systems. You may have feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, anger or stress; you may find that your behavior or day-to-day functioning is impeded because of these feelings; you may think negative, self-defeating thoughts; or you may find your energy and health compromised.

You may or may not be able to identify your problem, but recognizing that you do have an issue to address is of primary importance.

Change is an interesting, positive and personally meaningful process that requires your involvement. There are times in therapy when you will feel strong, healthy, alive and assertive. You will feel organized and in control as you use creative processes to discuss and describe yourself and your situation. You may also have times of intense pain, flashbacks and sad memories. Healing can be challenging, but the outcome of health and vitality are worth the effort.

Although you may be feeling better, not everyone may appreciate you or your changes. As you assert your right to be yourself, you'll discover more about the people around you. You'll find out who supports you in being "OK" and who may be threatened by your getting better. You'll find that discussing the changing dynamics of your support system (family and friends) with your counselor can be very helpful, guilt reducing and growthful. You may want to invite significant people into your therapy process to facilitate your growth.
