Learn the Skills to Put You Back in Charge of Life

When life feels like it’s coming apart, you need more than someone to listen. You need help building the skills to take charge.

What type of counseling are
you looking for?

Women's 
Counseling

You’re taking on too much because it's "expected", then feel guilty when you need a break. Get support to set boundaries, reduce burnout, and feel like yourself again.

Men's
Counseling

Your mind doesn’t shut off, and pushing through isn’t working anymore. Get private counseling to manage stress, make better decisions, and improve your relationships.

Child & Teen
Counseling

Your child is pulling away, struggling at school, or missing out with other kids. Get support to help them build the skills to face school, friendships, and everyday routines.

PTSD
Counseling

Your mind stays on alert, memories pop up without warning, and sleep keeps getting harder. Get support to quiet the noise and stop feeling on edge all the time.

Take Charge.

We’ll walk you through it step by step.

Questions About Our Counseling Services

Do you take insurance
Yes, depending on your plan and the service you need. Some clients use insurance, some use self-pay, and some use Medicaid. When you complete the screening form, you can share what you plan to use, and you will be contacted with next steps based on fit, availability, and scheduling.
What if my child or spouse does not want to participate?
Counseling works best when the person attending is willing to engage. Progress comes from practicing skills between sessions, applying feedback, and participating honestly in the process.

If someone is completely unwilling to participate, resistant to collaboration, or attending only because they are being forced, meaningful change is unlikely.

If you are ready to engage and apply structured tools, counseling can create real stability. If you are looking for someone to “fix” another person without shared effort, this will not be a good fit.
Can you do telehealth?
Yes. Telehealth is available when it is clinically appropriate, and it can make counseling easier to fit into a workday, school schedule, or family routine. You can also start in person and switch to telehealth later if that fits better.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
Yes. Availability depends on the clinician’s schedule and your location, but the goal is to make counseling fit real life. If after-school hours are tight, telehealth or different time blocks may be a better option.
What happens after I click “Start Today”?
You complete a simple screening form. Then you receive a call to schedule your first appointment. From there, you and your clinician focus on practical, skill-based tools you can use between sessions, so progress does not stay stuck in the room. 
Is counseling confidential?
Yes. Counseling is private and protected. You can speak openly, ask direct questions, and work through hard topics without worrying that your personal information will be shared outside of appropriate care and required reporting standards.
What if I’m not sure counseling will work?
That hesitation is normal. Progress is most likely when you show up consistently and use the tools between sessions. If you want a passive experience or a quick fix, this will feel frustrating. If you are ready to participate and apply what you learn, counseling becomes a structured way to regain stability.
