Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, the client and therapist work together exclusively. The process includes addressing personal concerns and worries through one-on-one therapy. One of the main purposes of individual therapy is to assist the client in recognizing and resolving the sources of their discomfort, challenges, or obstacles in order to lead a more manageable life.

- Assessments

- Review of office policies
- Biopsychosocial interview

Couple Therapy
Relationships include vulnerability, hesitancy, and pain. Couple therapy aims to help partners strengthen their communication, problem-solve together, and keep the peace in their relationships. In contrast to individual therapy, couples counseling gives both partners the chance to work together to better understand and support each other.

Family members may have different personalities and characters, and it’s unavoidable to have conflicts and disagreements.

It is possible to get to the bottom of any misunderstandings that have arisen in the family by discussing these concerns in an open and safe setting.

Our Approach
It’s important that you don’t dwell on your problems. Through Solution Focused Therapy, I highlight the importance of searching for goal-directed solutions rather than problems. To facilitate this work of the heart, I utilize sincerity, openness, safety, compassion, nurturing, and, when appropriate, humor. All of them seem nice, don’t they? I understand, but I behave honestly and openly. I actively participate. I inquire. I challenge you. I provide comfort. I sit with you and share the same space. When you come to me for therapy, we will make objectives, do evaluations, assign homework, and provide you with skills to utilize outside of our sessions. We’ll work together to help you learn more about yourself and become more self-aware. This will help you set and reach goals in your life. You will also be able to talk about how you feel at the moment in a safe, non-judgmental space where I will offer support, understanding, and empathy.
Testimonials
I just want to say thank you to Deon (I think that’s his name) that answers the phone. I called to ask about services and how everything worked and he was very helpful. I like that he assured me he would let me know about copays prior to the appointment, unlike other places I have asked. Although I’m not officially a client I am keeping them in mind for when I do start seeking therapy. He was really patient with my bazillion questions!

Shirley is the best! I remember not wanting to go to therapy for years even though I knew I needed to. I always felt against it for many reasons. So when I finally decided that I was going to start therapy, I looked around at quite a few different places to see which would seem more fit for me. I am happy to say that I chose well with Shirley. I have been attending sessions with Shirley for about 9 months now and I feel that we have made great progress and I cannot wait to grow more. Thank you Shirley! And to whoever reads this, I hope things workout well for you.
