    Couples

    You're wondering if you need couples counseling. I'm not here to say you do or don’t. Only you can decide that. But having experienced couples counseling myself, I (Mike) would say that everyone can benefit from it, even if you don’t necessarily need it.

    Families

    Our family defines us. Shapes and molds us. It's by far the biggest influence on who we become. As parents, we owe it to our children to give them the best possible experience of family. That's hard work, but what is more worthwhile? There's a ripple effect....

    Amicable Separation

    Many people assume the purpose of couples counseling is to save the marriage. And most of the time it is. There are also times when the best path forward involves a separation that is respectful, with minimal conflict. For families with children, it is critical to consider the kids' well-being, and to work towards role-modeling for them how two adults can part ways without hurting each other, or their family.

    Career Burnout & Work Stress

    Our culture pushes us to achieve professionally, to be successful, to hit our goals. For some, that's invigorating. For others, that's a lot of pressure we didn't ask for. It's hard, and sometimes we fall short and need support. Other times, we succeed, yet still feel empty. Sometimes even after we succeed, we wonder, now what? Is this all there is? And along the way we might have made a mess of our personal lives. If this resonates, you're not alone.

  • Why Couples and Family Therapy Works Best Outside the Insurance System

    The kind of transformation we’re aiming for doesn’t fit neatly into the insurance system. Insurance is built for treating individual diagnoses within a medical model. Relationship work is different. It’s about both (or all) of you together—not a diagnosis, but the space between you.
