Our Focus
Trauma and Distress
Trauma is personal and life changing, whether it is a single distressing event or multiple events over your lifetime. Trauma forces your mind into survival mode and takes away your ability to have control with common triggers being sounds, smells, phrases or visual. When distressing events happen in childhood, whether intentional or not, it can leave you feeling detached from yourself and others as an adult. Many individuals can experience daily symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances that hinder their ability to live in their present life. Anxiety, fear, depression, grief, loss, intrusive thoughts, maladaptive behaviors and hopelessness are a few changes that can linger post traumatic events. We can help your mind and body overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of healing in order to recover motivation, present perspective and joy to live a life with purpose.
Addictions
Substance (drugs and alcohol) and Non-substance (gambling) addiction affects every part of a person's life as well as the lives of those around them. The compulsions of addiction leaves you in a pattern of experiencing artificial highs followed by heart-wrenching lows. Healing your mental state is central to being able to chose healthy coping skills verses the desire of your addiction. Through counseling we are able to help you uncover the origins of your addiction in order to recover motivation, perspective and joy to live a life with purpose. We can also help individuals affected by the addiction of a loved one gain understanding of how to support themselves and their loved one through addiction treatment.
Grief and Loss
The experience of loss, whether it is tangible (people, pets, home, employment, and other physical/personal things) or intangible (hopes, dreams, values, ideas, and other psychological thoughts), starts the grief process. Grief can be painful as it can include feelings of sadness, anger, and fear as you learn to navigate an unknown life altered by your loss. Grieving can be lonely, misunderstood, and ever changing as each person experiences grief and loss in different ways; there is no “right or wrong” way to grieve. We can support you through the internal process of grief following loss in your life by honoring your individual process and guiding you to healing.
Christian Counseling
Counseling within a Christian worldview combines faith-based principles with evidenced-based psychological interventions in order to help address and resolve issues within your life. Emotions are God given with the purpose of helping to guide us through our daily life yet many times they become broken within our life experiences causing them to turn into sources of pain, discomfort, mental health concerns or helplessness. Through your personal relationship with God as well as our own, we can help guide you to biblical truths and peace along with psychological coping skills and understanding within a safe space.
