Sapphire Counseling & Therapeutic Services, PLLC

Philosophy

It is our philosophy that when people are listened to and treated with respect, they tend to find the inner strength they are looking for to make the positive changes in their lives they are hoping to achieve. We believe that change is the essence of life. Change is hard, but not impossible. We all have times in our lives when we just need to reach out for some guidance and support.

WELCOME

We understand that life “happens”, and it usually does not go as we have planned. Life can be overwhelming and even scary at times. We also understand that change can be difficult and it’s not always easy to do alone. This is where therapy can be helpful! Whatever circumstance led you to seek counseling, we are here to provide an environment that is comfortable, safe, and confidential. Therapy assists people identify and overcome barriers that may be keeping them from reaching their true potential and living their most satisfying and meaningful lives.

The therapists at Sapphire Counseling & Therapeutic Services are experienced, highly trained, licensed professionals. Our theoretical approach is “multi-modal” with strong solution-focused and cognitive behavioral influences which enable us to tailor each client’s therapeutic model to fit their individual needs.

Psychotherapy is not about focusing on the problems, but about clarifying goals and building solutions. Although we acknowledge present problems and past causes, we predominantly explore current resources and future hopes.

We empathize with your struggles and believe that you are already equipped with the skills needed to create change in your life. Therapy can assist with identifying and refining those skills. We also believe that you are the expert of “you” and know on some level what changes are needed in your life. We are here to work with you to better understand and resolve your challenges.

If you believe in a better tomorrow and are ready to start taking steps towards a more positive, satisfying, and meaningful life, we look forward to working with you.

Individuals

Individual Therapy is a collaboration between the therapist and the client. The client works with a therapist on a one-to-one basis to set and achieve goals to create positive changes in one's life by exploring a variety of issues.

Couples

Couples Counseling involves working with couples at any stage in their relationship to identify unhelpful interactions and create effective conflict resolution to aid in improving their overall satisfaction. Couples counseling may also involve anything from pre-marital counseling, improving existing relationships, salvaging a struggling marriage to helping a couple make informed decisions regarding divorce.

Families

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I believe that individuals are all members of a family system. It is within this system that we function, behave and interact. Family Therapy includes some or all members of a family to address issues or concerns that may impact the entire family as a whole. (During the course of individual therapy, one may decide to include family members in their sessions.)
