Personalized psychotherapy and intentional coaching models to foster mental well-being and strong marital relationships.
Asking for help, seeking assistance, or just sitting down to talk about personal concerns can be difficult for many men. It is our effort to make this as comfortable as possible with respect and in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. The physical design of our office creates a comfortable and confidential environment that provides ultimate privacy for you.
Areas: Anger, marital challenges, work stress, family conflict, isolation, mood regulation, unhealthy behaviors, and self care.
Life is a process of transitioning from one developmental stage to the next. During each stage we experience a psychological crisis which has either a positive or negative outcome. Having some guidance and support will help ensure a more positive development.
We assist men and couples in transitions from the family home to independent living, entry into work life, developing intimate relationships, middle age, or retirement.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. It is an integral component of health and well-being that underpins our individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships, and shape the world we live in. Mental health is a basic human right and is more than the absence of disorders.
We all suffer from a human condition—we're asleep to ourselves. To live meaningful lives full of deep and satisfying relationships, we must awaken to who we truly are underneath the plaster of our personality. The Enneagram provides a powerful framework for understanding the human personality and psyche that allows us to move through the world with greater consciousness, awareness, and emotional wisdom.
Marriage is a process of continuous interaction with our spouse. These interactions are attempts to solve problems. Conflict will arise if we are not aware of our partner's needs—and if we are unaware of our own. Without this awareness, we are stuck attempting to solve the wrong problems. In our work, we look at your needs, learn to understand functional issues, and recognize different "types of love" and their impact.
Evidence shows that premarital coaching can dramatically reduce the risk of divorce. Steve and Julie meet together with you, using several tools to guide a multi-session series of discussions. As certified SYMBIS facilitators and Enneagram coaches, joined with Julie's Life Coach training and Steve's clinical experience, we identify strengths and help prepare for challenges.
Premarital sessions are typically scheduled as a block of weekly appointments held over 5 to 6 weeks with a single fee for the full service.
Christian focused counseling is a type of therapy that blends traditional talk therapy with Christian beliefs by incorporating theological concepts. Christian counseling integrates the spiritual dimension with our understanding of the person as being comprised of the domains of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual.
Openness to all persons is a core tenet, and faith integration is tailored to each client's comfort level and preferences.
