Services Offered by Valley Springs Counseling

Treatment for Anxiety and Depression

Therapy offers people the opportunity to identify the factors that contribute to their depression or anxiety.  We will help you to understand and improve thought patterns and relationships with others that contribute to depression and anxiety.  Once you are able to identify your negative thoughts, and self-defeating behaviors, you can then work to replace them with more accurate thoughts and ideas.  Therapists can also help determine if a referral for medication is needed and help monitor your response to medication.

Healing from Trauma

Traumatic experiences can have a severe and long-lasting effect.  When childhood trauma is not resolved, a fundamental sense of fear and helplessness carries over into adulthood, setting the stage for further trauma or a self destructive lifestyle.  Through the safety of the therapeutic relationship, healing, grieving, and facing difficult emotions without judgment, can occur.  This will help build or rebuild the ability to trust other people, take better care of yourself and create positive, healthy relationships.

Relationship/Couples Counseling

Problems of trust, control, intimacy and parenting are all common challenges in relationships.  Many of us carry wounds from childhood or prior partnerships, which create unhealthy coping strategies, greatly affecting those we love the most.  Through couples counseling, peace, stability and healthy communication can return to a relationship, positively affecting the lives of each partner and the lives of those most impacted by them. Using an approach based on a couple’s unique strengths and history, partners can learn to understand and respect each other, manage disagreements and increase intimacy.
