Psychotherapy Services
Psychotherapy is the process of promoting self-awareness and wellness through the employment of essential counseling techniques, some of which include: Socratic questioning, active and empathetic listening, caring confrontation, accountability, and various homework assignments.
It is our belief that when a client is operating within a safe environment the client is better able to take advantage of their increased awareness by making positive, healthy, and rational changes in thinking and/or behavior that will aid in alleviating or coping with biopsychosocial stressors that often cause emotional distress.

Scope of Practice
Therapists are required to counsel clients in areas in which they have had training and are competent.
No one counselor can be the best in all areas. It is the ethical responsibility to refer any clients needing services outside the therapists’ scope of practice to another clinician.
