I am thrilled to announce that we have onboarded a new clinic administrator, Maddy Hudson.

What happens when only one member of a relationship wants to go to couples therapy? Here are several steps that can be taken.

Marriage counseling and couples counseling are closely related therapeutic approaches aimed at addressing relationship issues. They do, however, differ in their scope, goals, and methods.

The terms couples counseling and couples therapy tend to be used interchangeably. They are both used to improve romantic relationships, yet there are distinct differences between their objectives, approaches and therapeutic methods.

Both couples counseling and individual therapy are indispensable when it comes to mental health support. If the primary goal at hand is to build up and strengthen a relationship, couples counseling can be a much more effective use of energy, time, and money.

Couples therapy can be a valuable resource for a relationship. Recognizing when to start this process is crucial for furthering a healthy partnership.

The role of a couples therapist is an essential one. The couples therapist acts as trained guide as couples navigate the complex landscape of their relationships.

Couples counseling can help improve the health and longevity of a relationship. During counseling, couples engage in therapy sessions and work with a trained therapist to address and resolve unproductive issues within their relationship.

Sexual health is achieved when we understand who we are as sexual beings and are open to exploring sexual desire without feeling the need to shut off or deny a part of ourselves.

Sex therapy is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on issues related to sexual function, sexual satisfaction, and communication within a sexual relationship. Here are a few things everyone should understand about sex therapy.

Similar to how there are no “hacks” to getting in good physical shape quickly, the same is true for mental health.

Sexuality is an important part of the human experience. It plays a large role in our overall well-being and satisfaction. However, like everything else, things don’t always go smoothly or according to plan.

I am starting a support group for partner’s betrayed by infidelity of a spouse, because I know what it’s like to experience it. Fifteen years ago my ex-husband’s infidelity changed almost everything about me.

Telehealth has reminded me that when I let go of the things I fear losing, I allow them to transform themselves and me. In this context, I am letting go of my closely held model of therapy and my self-protective need to feel good at it.

Empathy helps us hone into the real problems that must be addressed. But it is a dereliction of our duty and a violation of our ethics to empathize without the necessary action steps required to change the circumstances that hurt them in the first place.

However, I know that some are in need of in-person services; delaying their in-person care will be detrimental to their mental health, and I am prepared to see a handful of them in person starting Saturday, May 23.

I am announcing my return to General Mental Healthcare treatment, for a time. Concurrently, I am offering a discount to those in financial distress (existing and new clients).

As the new reality of our world continues to swirl and change, I’ve been struggling to know what to do and how to handle it all. I am sure you feel similarly.

All existing clients are already set up for Telemedicine sessions via the online portal. We can start using this service immediately if necessary.

Being brave makes a difference not because it solves every problem or eliminates risk, but because it turns risk into hope. There is no hope without bravery and no change without small acts of hope.
