Life & Wellness Counseling and Consulting, PLLC

Our providers have over 15 years supporting individuals who suffer from depressive mood disorders. We develop individualized treatment plans to help clients decrease feelings of sadness, worthlessness, hopelessness, withdrawal, lack of interest and thoughts of harm. We also support clients in developing effective techniques that increase positive cognitive responses to everyday stressors and increase mood stability.

Our providers understand that feelings of worry and panic can be cause by a number of things. We work to help clients identify triggers to thoughts/feelings of anxiety and utilize coping /grounding skills to manage their fight/flight/freeze response. We support our clients in finding a balance between their perceptions and the environment around them by increasing feelings of safety and security in a way that feels comfortable to the individual.

During this developmental stage, our providers offer support to adolescent clients and their families by facilitating a dialogue value and respect. We support out clients in developing communication/ social skills to increase positive interactions within interpersonal relationships. We also provide support and psychoeducation to parents/guardians on how to manage the interactions and consistently engage in positive behavioral responses that will promote a safe and egalitarian environment.

Our therapist have collectively logged over 1,000 training hours in trauma work and have experience working with individuals who experience sexual assault/domestic violence, marginalized and/or impoverished communities, and neglect/family dysfunction. We guide our clients through the work of processing how trauma impacts their lives and what behavioral/emotional responses they developed as a result of that trauma.

Our therapeutic framework is based on our strong belief that our clients have an understanding of where the emotional work needs to be done and what they want their lives to look like. We settle into a non-authoritative approach that gives clients the space to determine the direction of each session, allowing them to naturally develop different perspectives through which they see the world and come up with solutions to different challenges they face.

We support our clients helping them process current social and interpersonal relationships. Our therapists guide clients through techniques and interventions that teach them how to identify and label behavioral interactions and process what thoughts, feelings, beliefs, or experiences contribute to those behavioral interactions.
