Services
Individual Counseling
Whether you are going through a transition in your life or a time of crisis, there is nothing wrong with seeking some help and guidance along the way. You may be wrestling with depression or anxiety and feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You are not meant to walk through these things alone.
Schedule an Appointment
Sometimes trying to be strong is the very thing that saps us. One purpose of counseling is to get to the core of the manifesting problem and shed light on it. In addition to that, counseling enables you to see whats really going on more clearly. This insight often brings healing and freedom so that you will have a healthier future.
Unraveling the burdens that have been holding you down and replacing lies with truth is the ultimate goal as it equips you for living daily in a healthier way.
Cost Per Session
The fee per 50 minute session for individual counseling is $80.00. You may pay for this service through PayPal when you Schedule your Appointment. You may also pay in person with check, cash or credit card. Individual Counseling appointments after 5 pm are $100 and are available on Tuesday and Thursday until 9 pm. I also offer "double sessions" (1 hour and 40 minutes) for when more time is needed.
What to Bring
Just take a deep breath and know that this journey is going to be good for you. You don't need to feel worried about looking a certain way (come as you are!). You are welcome to bring whatever you need to be comfortable, even if it's a bag of chips or a tall latte! Don't worry about paperwork, we will discuss what will be needed on your first appointment.
Marriage/ Couple Counseling
What is Marriage Counseling?
Schedule an Appointment
Marriage is tough sometimes and it can be necessary for an unbiased person to help bring resolution, expand perception, navigate unhealthy patterns of relating and provide training and guidance for better communication.
Marriage counseling can be helpful for couples who may be facing a wide range of challenges.
Every marriage is unique and the counseling techniques used will be customized for each couple.
I am pro marriage and family. Except in cases of abuse, I encourage couples to resolve conflicts in a Biblically sound way while dealing with core issues.
The purpose of counseling is not to just get a couple through the crisis, but to equip them to deepen their relationship with each other for a healthy and happy future.
What is Couple Counseling?
Any two individuals in a relationship (friendship, dating, parent/child, family members, etc) who may need some help through a conflict or are seeking to improve the quality of their relationship.
Cost Per Session
The fee per 50 minute session for marriage/Couple counseling is $100.00. You may pay for this service through PayPal when you Schedule your Appointment. You may also pay in person with check, cash or credit card.
Marriage Counseling appointments after 5 pm are $120 and are available on Tuesday and Thursday until 9 pm
I also offer "double sessions" (1 hour and 40 minutes) for when more time is needed, which I have found to be really helpful when there's a lot to unpack.
Family Counseling
Family Struggles
Schedule an Appointment
Families can be complicated! Just having multiple people, living under one roof, can bring challenges. Often there are differences of opinion, difficulties communicating, unhelpful patterns of relating, breech of trust, misunderstandings, and hurt. When these things are not dealt with and worked through, often family members are left with wounds that can fester, break family harmony, and even affect other relationships in negative ways.
Families can have all sorts of dynamics, whether traditional, broken or blended, and it's important for all members of the family to feel heard and cared for. Family counseling can help when it seems that the dynamic between members has become toxic and an outside perspective can help navigate back to unity.
Cost Per Session
The fee per 90 minute session for family counseling is $200.00. You may pay for this service through PayPal when you Schedule your Appointment. You may also pay in person with check, cash or credit card.
Teen Counseling
The Wonder Years
Teen Confidentiality Policy
Adolescent Consent Form
Schedule an Appointment
The teen years are notoriously rocky. Parents usually don't know how to relate to this stranger-child. Adolescents are faced with physical and hormonal changes while having to make emotional, spiritual and social choices.
Depression, anxiety, anger and withdrawal are common complaints of parents with teenagers. Counseling is helpful during this time because teens need to feel heard and understood from an unbiased adult. We strive to listen with compassion while steering their hearts toward truth.
Kristi has many years experience counseling teen girls and boys. She has worked with a variety of issues, including:
- unplanned teen pregnancy
- eating disorders
- alcohol and drug abuse
- abuse recovery
- rape counseling
- adoption planning
- personality disorders
- depression
- anger management
- divorce recovery
- family disruption
- cutting
- parents divorce
- anxiety
- depression
In all cases, if we feel there is cause for concern that our client intends harm to themselves or others, we are obligated to refer them to a psychiatrist and/or contact guardians if the client is under the age of 18.
Cost Per Session
Teen Counseling is scheduled as an individual counseling appointment. The fee per 50 minute session for teen counseling is $80.00. You may pay for this service through PayPal when you Schedule your Appointment. You may also pay in person with check, cash or credit card. If the teen is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or other individual (other than the initial appointment), please schedule as a "Couples" session.
Teen Counseling appointments after 5 pm are $100 and are available on Tuesday and Thursday until 9 pm
Premarital Counseling
Getting married to someone is pivotal and life altering. Going into marriage prepared is essential.
Schedule an Appointment
Too many couples spend far more time and energy preparing for the wedding day and forget to lay the groundwork for a healthy marriage.
In premarital counseling, the engaged couple would work through a book together and meet for five counseling sessions, led by Kristi, before the wedding, and one appointment sometime after the wedding.
Throughout the premarital counseling sessions, the couple will be discussing important topics such as expectations, finances, sex, children, family patterns, etc.
Cost Per Session
We are non-denominationl and take referrals from any church. We offer an introduction to premarital counseling session for $190. Then if the couple chooses to move forward, the fee for premarital counseling is $450.00 for 6 sessions. This includes 5 sessions prior to the wedding and one session after. Payment for all six sessions must be paid after the first session or the normal marriage/couples counseling rate will apply.
