Add Joy Counseling
Do you wish that you could recover the feelings you and your partner had for each other in the beginning of your relationship? You want to believe that your spouse is your best friend, the person who understands you better than anyone, and who has your back. Instead, you may argue frequently, or worse, have no significant communication at all. There may be erosion of trust, infidelity, or your partner spends more time with an addiction than with you. Counseling can uncover the beliefs that lead to the “bumps” in the relationship. We can identify fear-driven behavior that is actually sabotaging the intimacy that you desire. You can learn to replace fear with decisions and action that will reduce acrimony and restore desire for each other.
Couples
Individuals
Are you currently experiencing a crisis of identity, self-doubt, lack of self-confidence, or prolonged feelings of depression? Perhaps anxiety, insomnia and exhaustion have displaced a sense of joy in living. We are going through a huge shift in consciousness right now. Isolation has exacerbated these problems for many people. Sometimes people who struggle with these feelings also struggle with just caring for themselves adequately. This can lead to financial distress, even if by outward appearances, the individual should be able to generate enough income to be self sufficient. Want a guide to shine a light on the path to peace, contentment, and relaxation? Together we can explore the way to construct a more satisfying, rewarding life experience.
Families
Families can reach crisis points over accumulated stress, dysfunctional behavior patterns, loss of a parent or other family member, a change in vocational or health status of an adult member, one or more member’s addiction and related behavior, parenting conflicts, involvement with the justice system, change in financial status, chronic poor health of a family member, geographic relocation, addition of a family member, or any other event that forces the family to find a new equilibrium. If your family is struggling with changes, chronic arguing or crisis, counseling can help family members to air feelings about it and to negotiate viable solutions that work for everybody.
