Individual Therapy

Individual therapy (also called individual psychotherapy or one-on-one counseling) is a form of mental health treatment in which a single client works privately with a licensed clinician to address emotional, cognitive, behavioral, or relational concerns.

Primary Goals

• Reduce psychological stress (symptom reduction)

• Increase insight and self-awareness

• Cognitive and behavioral change

• Emotional regulation and improve interpersonal functioning

• Strengthen coping skills

• Identity development and self-esteem

• Trauma processing

Couples & Pre-marital Therapy

Couples therapy is a systemic, relationship-focused intervention designed to assess and treat maladaptive interaction patterns between intimate partners. The therapeutic unit of treatment is the relationship, not just the individual.

Primary Goals

• Improve communication skills

• Reduce recurring conflict patterns

• Rebuild trust after betrayal

• Enhance emotional intimacy

• Strengthen problem-solving abilities

• Support decision-making (e.g., reconciliation vs. separation)

Pre-marital therapy is a preventive, relationship-focused intervention aimed at increasing relational competence, enhancing mutual understanding, and reducing risk factors associated with marital distress and divorce.

* Unlike couples therapy, which often addresses existing distress, premarital therapy is primarily proactive and developmental.

• Communication patterns and conflict resolution styles

• Financial expectations and budgeting

• Family-of-origin influences

• Roles and responsibilities

• Sexual expectations and intimacy

• Parenting values

• Spiritual or faith alignment

Group Therapy 

Group therapy is a therapeutic modality where individuals meet regularly, typically 5–12 members per group, under the facilitation of a licensed clinician.

Primary Goals

• Explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors

• Develop coping strategies

• Improve interpersonal functioning

• Gain insight through shared experiences

Pastoral Counseling

Pastoral counseling is a helping relationship in which a trained clergy member (or pastoral counselor) provides therapeutic support grounded in both mental health frameworks and religious or spiritual traditions.

Primary Goals

• Facilitate spiritual and emotional healing

• Address issues such as grief, marital conflict, crisis, moral distress, depression, and life transitions

• Strengthen the individual’s relationship with God (or their faith tradition)

• Provide guidance grounded in theology and scripture
