Therapy Services Guided by Compassion, Understanding, and Connection

We help all couples (non-married, married, soon-to-be married) repair and strengthen their connections to each other. Common challenges couples face:

• Infidelity
• Communication
• Intimacy
• Past Relationships
• Infertility
• Extended Family
• Stress
• Parenting
• Same Fight-No Resolution
• LGBTQ Affirming

We often work with couples wanting to understand how their earliest relationships might influence their current relationship. Research shows we can change and heal our past wounds if our relationship with our partner is safe and secure. Whatever brings you in for couples therapy, we will support your relationship as you discover what brings greater joy, intimacy, and safety between you and your partner.

Sometimes families face changes and/or challenges and need an outsider’s expertise and support. We work together to support the whole family, including parent(s), children/adolescents, and emerging adults. Some common concerns are:

• Marriage/Divorce
• Prenatal/Postpartum
• Grief/Loss
• New Diagnosis (physical or psychological)
• Transition to College and Beyond
• Parenting Support
  

We believe parents are experts on their children, and therefore, an essential member of the treatment team. Collaboration with parents is ongoing and together we will create a plan to help relieve distress and build upon the skills existing within each family. Our underlying goal is to help your child be more resilient and increase the joy and connection in your family.

Play therapy is a form of therapy for children that uses a language understandable to them - PLAY! Play is a natural form of expression for children and play therapy uses the therapeutic power of play to help them resolve psychological difficulties and move towards positive development and growth. Common challenges children face:

• Social Stress
• behavioral difficulties
• Anger
• Isolation
• family transitions
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Trauma

During the intake, your therapist will work together with caregivers to understand the concerns and goals you have for your child. The goal of play therapy is to give children a safe space to express themselves and help caregivers better understand and communicate with their children. Play therapy can help your child live a happier, more confident life!

Group therapy is helpful for a broad range of challenges, we offer a variety of groups, all of which help you find relief from your suffering, learn about yourself in new ways, and relate to others with similar challenges. Sign up for our newsletter to hear about upcoming groups at The Mendery.
