Mental Health Counseling Services
Mental health counseling services and what really does mental health provide the client? When I think of services that a therapist provides, I think of their specialties and areas of focus. We go to school to learn about a vast array of counseling techniques and styles. It all filters down though to what we are most passionate about in our own lives. Is it any wonder that I love counseling teens and families? I had my rebellious teen years. I remember what it felt like to not be able to have a voice or say in the family. It left me feeling small, unseen and not validated.
In therapy I strive with my families and teens to work on effective and direct communication. It is important for me to assist families struggling. Many times it involves conduct disorder, parents that are going through a divorce or drug use with a teen or parent. I specialize in helping to allow each member feel seen, heard and validated. I believe that when parents truly see their children and acknowledge that their feelings are their feelings this goes a long way in healing them.

Another mental health counseling service that I am passionate about is individual therapy. I love to see my clients start the journey to do the real work of learning for the first time “who they are”. This unfolding process is fascinating and I feel blessed to see the transformation in their lives. We work as a collaborative team to recreate a new narrative or story that the individual changes in the way they view others and themselves in the world.
Once an individual changes the way they see themselves in the world it changes the way the world appears. No longer is it full of depression and anxiety. They have changed their thinking and thus have gone from living in hell to heaven here on earth.

Couples counseling and divorce therapy is another passion of mine. I assist by becoming part of the system. I help them to stay focused on themselves instead of pointing out the perceived flaws and character defects of their partner. We break the relationship down and lay out the expectations, assumptions and things that were never spoken of before the relationship or marriage started.
This can be a life changing process as each get to know themselves and each other on a much more intimate and personal level. The need to fix or control the other seems to melt away as they understand that it is an impossible task to change anyone but ourselves.
Mental Health Counseling Services
There are many definitions and ways one can interpret mental health counseling services. For me it is important to treat every client uniquely and take the time to understand their framework or viewpoint of the world. My sessions last on average 75 minutes. I do not believe that effective work can be done in 50 minutes. It is unkind and leaves clients feeling more like a number.
