Individual Wellbeing
Individual therapy is a joint process between a therapist and a person in therapy. Common goals of therapy can be to inspire change or improve quality of life. Several frameworks based on the foundations of attachment, psychodynamic and spiritual transformation theories are used to addresses relational trauma, helps individuals heal from past relational wounds, and to discover their identity and purpose.
Relationship Recovery/Enhancement
We focus on a specific problem (i.e. sexual difficulties, infidelity, jealousy, communication concerns). There is active participation on the part of the therapist in treating the relationship itself, rather than each individual separately. We utilize solution-focused, change-oriented interventions early on in treatment.
Spiritual Transformation
Spiritual transformation is the process by which Christ is formed in us …for the glory of God, for the abundance of our own lives, and for the sake of others (Galatians 4:19; Romans 8:29; Romans 12:1, 2). The possibility that human beings can be transformed to such an extent that they image Christ is central to the message of the gospel and therefore it is central to the mission of the Church. Spiritual transformation in the lives of redeemed people is a testimony to the power of the Gospel and it results in an increasing capacity to discern and do the will of God (Romans 12:2).

Family Member Conflict
Read More
Family conflict refers to active opposition between family members. … Conflicts may involve different combinations of family members: it can be conflict within the couple or between parents and children or, again, between siblings. We believe resolving family conflict is a two-fold approach. First, is to determine what has caused the current crisis and what family members are prepared to do to reach an acceptable resolution. Throughout this process, the second component of conflict resolution takes place; learning to communicate effectively ensuring there is not any misunderstanding or assumptions that develop.

Addiction treatment commonly consists of a combination of group and individual therapy sessions that focus on teaching those in recovery the skills needed to get and stay sober as well as how to navigate various situations without turning to drugs or alcohol. We use a variety of techniques to support clients overcoming addiction, we mainly utilize motivational interviewing (MI). MI is a method of resolving ambivalence in recovering individuals to allow them to embrace their treatment efforts to best change their problematic substance use behavior.

When a person regularly feels disproportionate levels of anxiety, it might become a medical disorder.

Spiritual Transformation
Read More
Real change comes about through inner work, when we “attend to soul” and discover who we are. Only then can we can realize our potential for truth, power, creativity and satisfaction. I have explored deeply the relationship between personal therapy and spiritual growth, because they refer us to our innate capacity for wholeness. I found that they are connected by a middle stage of authenticity that brings our unique, compassionate self into true relationship with other people and the world.
