 Q.  WHAT IS THERAPY?

 A.   Therapy is a process of affecting positive change in a person's emotional, behavioral, and relationship situations.  Issues are addressed using a multi-faceted, holistic approach that encompasses many areas in one's life.  This approach helps clients balance independence and connection with others.  Therapy can empower clients to develop meaningful life experiences, individually and with others, as well as discover more healthy ways of being.

Q.  WHY WOULD A PERSON COME TO THERAPY?

A.  People come to therapy for a variety of reasons.  Some people need help dealing with problems in their relationships, marital discord and family conflicts.  Others seek counseling for individual concerns including anxiety, depression, life adjustments and for personal growth and change.  In fact, any issue keeping an individual, couple or family from living happily and productively can be addressed in therapy.
