  • Individual Therapy

    Individual therapy begins with building a trusting relationship with a trained therapist. The client learns research-based techniques, specific to his or her unique needs, to restore emotional well-being. Goals of individual therapy often include: correcting unhelpful thought patterns, creating a healthier relationship with oneself and others, inspiring change, providing comfort in difficult situations, and improving quality of life.

  • Couples Therapy

    This is a form of therapy that supports people in intimate relationships. The therapist helps to identify specific areas of conflict and/or aspects of the relationship that couples would like to adjust, and then develops a plan of action to improve each individual’s satisfaction and contentment. Couples are able to explore how their individual backgrounds, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors may be impacting their relationship in both positive and negative ways. The therapist may assist the couple with addressing any immediate and pressing problems, as well as developing strategies for protecting and enhancing the long-term health and happiness of their relationship.

  • Child and Adolescent Therapy

    Therapy helps children in a variety of ways. They receive emotional support, resolve conflicts with people, understand feelings and problems, and try out new solutions to on-going problems. Goals for therapy may be specific (change in behavior, improved relations with friends or family), or more general (less anxiety, better self-esteem). The length of therapy depends on the complexity and severity of problems.

    Therapy for adolescents is beneficial when a teen is experiencing difficulty with handling emotions as well as reacting with challenging behaviors. Various methods are utilized to assist with negative self-talk, self-injury, experimenting with drugs or alcohol, eating disorders, sexual issues, as well as bullying and managing social media. The length of therapy depends on the complexity and severity of problems.

  • Art Therapy

    The creative process used to bring about healing or desired change for the client or group being served. Anyone is a good candidate for art therapy. Holly Garces has worked with clients aged 5 to 100. You do not need to have any formal art training, or even be able to draw a straight line. You only need to have an interest and willingness to “play” with color, line, shape, and image. Art therapy is not about creating a masterpiece. The goal is self-expression, with the emphasis on the creative process rather than on technique or skill.
