For the most part, it will be your therapist that decides the type or types of therapies to be used during individual or couples therapy sessions.

Pain, grief, disappointment, illness, and anxiety are inevitable features of human life… no matter how hard you try and shield yourself from these negatives, you will encounter them at various phases in your life.

Your cell phone is the most potentially-dangerous device in your possession, when it comes to your mental health. Many individuals now go through their day “glued” to their phones, unable to put them down for more than a few minutes at a time. This is incredibly unhealthy for the mind.
Sex is not strictly polar; it is not black and white, there are many shades of grey in between. The varying degrees of people’s sexuality make up a spectrum that is as diverse as the people who are included in it. There is not just straight or gay, there are a number of degrees between these two ends of the spectrum.
Infidelity, cheating, jealousy, and betrayal are some of the darkest and most hurtful acts a person can experience. These acts not only hurt our relationships with others, they hurt how we see and treat ourselves also. Healing the wounds of betrayal and infidelity is crucial-to healing your mind and spirit, and to having healthy relationships again in the future.
Grief is an overwhelming and sneaky emotion — it’s symptoms are similar to sadness and depression, but permeates every facet of your life including parts of your life you wouldn’t normally expect.
