Thanks for visiting my

Personal counseling, couples
counseling, family counseling, and
career counseling/coaching are conducted in various ways, depending on
the counselor. It's important that you find the right
person for you!

The
Counseling/Consultation Process
Regardless of your needs, and taking into account your
strengths, we will work together to develop your customized
treatment plan. People come
to see a counselor, coach, or consultant because they want something to be different in
their lives. They may want to change their personal or
family situation, solve a particular business or career problem, resolve old hurts,
or simply bring a healthier balance to their lives.
At our
initial meeting, we will assess your current needs and concerns,
and decide if we can work together to address them. If we
agree to continue, the usual procedure is to schedule an initial number of sessions. When they are
completed, we will evaluate the results of our work together,
and determine the need for additional sessions, termination, or
outside referral for further assistance.
For
individual counseling/consultation, everything we do will be
tailored to your individual needs and circumstances. These
may range from just "feeling down" to recovering from
a lost relationship to grieving the death of a loved one to
trying to improve individual performance in a particular area of
your life.
In the case
of career counseling, one may have such concerns as educational
planning, job dissatisfaction or “burnout”, career changing,
conflicts with co-workers or supervisors, job loss, or the need
to establish new priorities and achieve better balance.
Other career coaching services involve assistance with job
search strategies, like resume-writing and interviewing.
For couples counseling,
several options are available. I work with couples alone,
or with another therapist. We are
fortunate to have the option to either work alone or work together
in conjoint sessions
with
my associate, Gary A. Williams,
Ed.S., LPC. Working with two therapists allows the couple to work
on “couple” issues while each partner works on any “individual”
issues that may be related to improving the relationship, and also helps ensure that each partner has
an advocate for the conjoint work. The protocol allows for
the four of us to meet together, and for one therapist to meet
with one partner as needed. Contact
me to learn more about the difference between working with
one counselor vs. working with two counselors when doing
couples' work. Click

you!
This is the bottom line:
regardless of your needs, and taking into account your
strengths, TOGETHER we will develop your customized
treatment plan!
