Below you will find a few of the areas we can help.
“This too shall pass.”
Emotions are like the Ocean; they come and go in waves. Much like emotions you can’t stop the tide, but you can learn to ride the waves
We know that life can throw a number of surprises at you, but you don’t have to feel alone. Our coaching, counseling and ongoing support will provide you with the tools you need to help improve all areas of your life. Below is a sample of the topics in which we specialize:
Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Anxiety disorders is the most common mental illness in the U.S. It takes discipline and practice, but we have tried and true tools that address anxiety, the source of the anxiety is coming, and the depression that may accompany it.
Depression
Depression negatively affects all aspects of life. Don’t give up, and don’t fight alone. Depression is devastating; start the healing process and the path to overcoming this condition.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict Resolution is an important life skill that is imperative to our daily life especially when it comes to our emotional, romantic, and professional relationships. Relationship conflicts are inevitable. Learning to deal with them in a healthy way is crucial. Important tools to learn for Conflict Resolution are listening, empathy, understanding body language. Resolving conflicts appropriately will lead to a more peaceful life.
Family
The way a family communicates, problem solves, resolves disagreements, and sets and respects boundaries is often very different than how they handle these same things as individuals - especially when the family is a blended one. Coaching helps family members communicate better, solve problems, and find new ways to work together.
Personal Growth
An ongoing process that starts from an early age, personal growth is mostly shaped by parents, teachers, and your environment. Positive personal growth is being aware of the process and taking the right steps to grow and improve. You need to be willing to move out of your comfort zone, and do things that are uncomfortable.
Anger/Impulse Control
Anger is a useful emotion when used appropriately; it can give strength, honesty, and courage in a variety of situations. You can’t avoid people or things that anger or irritate you - but you can learn to control how you react to them. Together, we will develop a specific plan to achieve the change that fits with your personality, needs, goals, and schedule.
Self-Esteem & Body Image
Self-esteem is about your whole self, not just your body. Having a positive body image with strong self-esteem is a balance everyone deserves. In balance, you value yourself, and you know that you deserve good care and respect—from yourself and from others. These may be long practiced habits, but, with the right tools, you begin to see yourself in an honest and healthy way.
Premarital Counseling
Marriage is a “team” effort making it imperative to start mastering your communication and conflict management skills. Pre-marriage counseling will help you see your differences and consequently plan ways of overcoming or resolving natural conflict. Learning to understand common marital issues and discuss them before you enter married life will prove to help once you have tied the knot.
Couples Counseling
We will teach you the three phases of a romantic relationship: Lust, Love, and Life. The goal of every couple is to remain “In Love” with each other. However, this proves to be a difficult dance that few do well as life continues to fill with responsibilities and constraints. Our goal is to coach you towards love in unity and working together towards a stronger and more loving relationship.
Affair Recovery
An affair is a devastating feeling of betrayal in any relationship. And while affair recovery counseling is difficult and emotionally draining, some couples, after completing treatment, feel that their relationship is much stronger after working through the affair and feel much more connected, committed, and deeper in love than before.
Divorce Care
Not every relationship has the cornerstones still intact to rebuild a solid companionship. Divorce is a painful and lonely process, and reliable support throughout divorce is necessary. Learning to process grief, guilt, anger, and uncertainty will take time. As life continues forward, it is important to heal and recover so the future looks exciting rather than dwelling on the darkness in the past.
Sexuality & LBGTQ+
Sexuality and sexual identity are fluid topics that brings confusion, stress, depression, anxiety into your life, especially if you come from a spiritual or religious background. Seeking self-acceptance and peace instead of “normalcy” is the goal. Sexuality encompasses many different areas such as orientation, identification, addiction, compulsion, and abuse/trauma. We offer you a safe and confidential space to coach you through this very emotionally charged topic.
Church Hurt
Church hurt can be anything that has negatively affected your relationship with God, your faith, or the relationship you have with your faith community. People who are selfish, judgmental, and fallible have often lost sight of what is important in faith. Dealing with this hurt quickly will heal the resentment that builds up over years.
