Our Approach to Therapy
Be prepared for our interactive style of counseling
We connect you with our contracted therapists to provide an interactive exchange, that will work with you in a collaborative process that helps you overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship, and other issues. They are much more than good listeners. Our independent contracted therapists are knowledgeable, skilled change agents, and we really do care.
Direct Feedback
Our contracted therapists give you direct feedback about your situation. They know you are going through a difficult time. They will tell you what we see, then suggest how to move forward in the best possible way. This is an approach to counseling that most people find refreshing.
Skills
Unfortunately, our ever-speedy world tends to be overstimulating and anxiety-provoking, and robs us of the time and space we need to process our experiences and emotions. Few of us naturally have the skills for managing stress and reducing anxiety. In your therapy process, you will work in session and at home to learn how to manage anxiety, depression, and other difficulties. It is a wonderful feeling to be the master of your own emotions!
Goal-Directed focus
Your therapist will help you define clear goals, and provide practical guidance in achieving them. Working toward these goals will give you a sense of how far you’ve come in therapy and when it is time to finish.
Short-Term Therapy?
We find that many clients don’t need to stay in therapy for very long. With the help of your therapist, you will better understand your challenges and what to do about them. Once you have achieved a positive outcome, your therapy may be complete. As some therapists like to say, “The point of coming to therapy, is not coming to therapy!”
