Because we do not have in-house psychiatric or intensive services, and individual counseling is provided by interns and post graduate clinicians, we may need to refer clients with more complex issues to outside providers better suited to their needs.
"In its highest expression, therapy is those three things: love, community and expression. It is receiving the unconditional love of another human being, often for the first time. It is being in community, being witnessed in our radically flawed humanness, but loved all the same. And expression, telling our stories. Perhaps we repeat, meander, tell too many details, don’t tell enough details. Perhaps we cast ourselves as the victim, or the hero. But regardless, we need to tell our stories from beginning to end, and only when we have told them in the way that feels complete to us, are we free of them.
If you are in the wordless place, or if they are starting to form and you need a place to be witnessed, please know that we are willing to listen."
— Joy Redstone
COUPLES & FAMILY THERAPY
Couples/Family therapy is a means of resolving problems and conflicts that couples/families have not been able to handle effectively on their own. It involves both partners sitting down with a trained professional to discuss their thoughts and feelings. The aim is to help them gain a better understanding of themselves and their partner, to decide if they need and want to make changes, and if so, to help them to do so.
GROUP COUNSELING
Group therapy is when 6-10 individuals meet face to face with one or more trained group therapists. The therapists and group members work to establish safety, trust, and ease, talking from their personal experience, and trying out new behaviors. We provide therapy and support groups based on a belief that individuals with similar difficulties can share concerns, learn new skills, and be supportive of one another, and that this can help facilitate change. Some examples of groups include: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Peer Support Recovery and Suicide Survivors Support.
