Our clinicians adhere to a psychotherapeutic model of treatment in that we view symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and conduct difficulties as surface manifestations of underlying problems with which an individual is struggling. These underlying problems can be conflicts or stresses in the individual's significant personal relationships, turning points in development, and/or inner experiential distress. Counseling provides a safe and respectful environment intended to encourage the individual (or couple or family) to identify the nature of these underlying problems, discern their meaning, and learn solutions to them. Natural reduction and relief of symptomatic pain occurs as this counseling process unfolds.
