What Does Therapy Look Like? Who is Therapy For?

Everyone can benefit from therapy at one time or another. Therapy is an opportunity to process feelings, relationships, past hurts, and circumstances. It can also help you to improve positive coping skills, relationship skills, and communication skills. Seeking help for your mental well-being is just like seeing a physician for your physical health – it is beneficial for living your best life, and YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Individual Therapy

There are times when we can be overwhelmed by our circumstances, and all that we need is someone to encourage us and accompany us on our journey. We believe we all can change and make better choices, but sometimes that isn’t easy to accomplish on our own. That is what counseling offers. We encourage and challenge my clients to be their best selves and experience life to the fullest. With a supportive, non-judgmental approach, we will work together toward growth, validation, and self-discovery. We utilize a variety of theories and techniques to precisely fit each client’s needs and reach their desired goals.

Family Therapy

No family is ever perfect, and we all face problems in our homes. Sometimes the best way to clear things up and let them out into the open is by speaking with a family therapist. Our counseling sessions allow you and your loved ones to discuss issues in a controlled environment, talk about the underlying causes, and learn skills and techniques to increase family functioning. If you’re interested in coming in, please give us a call at Carsten Counseling Services, PLLC, to set up an appointment. 

Relationship Therapy

In the best relationships, couples can have miscommunications and unmet or unspoken expectations. The key factor in why there might be so much tension between two people is their lack of communication. With our relationship counseling service, we can get to the root of the problem and allow you and your partner to have an open-ended discussion about what is going wrong. We want to help people heal their relationships with one another. Please visit us for relationship counseling today and start experiencing a healthier relationship with your partner.

Trauma Therapy

Most individuals have been impacted at some point in their life with trauma. Whether that’s something as small as rejection or as large as abuse, we can handle instances such as physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual abuse, along with PTSD. Sometimes the symptoms of these life events can be hard to explain, and we want to help you recognize the effects that even the smallest trauma can have on your ability to cope with life. EMDR Trained.

Adolescent Therapy

Young adults are still experiencing complex brain development while struggling to normalize daily life situations, peer group interactions, and family dynamics. They are trying to discover who they are, what they believe, and their purpose while transitioning into adulthood and increased responsibilities. They need someone to be on their side and assist them in learning positive coping skills. We can come alongside them with logic from a neutral, reflective position and help ease the confusion and transition.
