Individual + Couples Counseling

Whether you've experienced counseling before or you're new to therapy, we’re glad you’ve found your way to Live Well. In individual counseling, we help you find ways to cope with current stressors, while also looking to the root of what hurts and keeps you stuck. Whether you're suffering from present-day stressors, depression or anxiety, PTSD, or the results of a complicated history, we're here to help you get unstuck, resolve distress, and experience relief.
In couples and marriage counseling, we work with partners at all stages of relationship, from the earliest days through empty-nesting. Some couples come to counseling to work through the challenges of disconnection, infidelity, or addiction, while others may be just starting out and wanting to get a head start in building a strong foundation. Whatever brings you to 
Live Well, we’ll help you reopen lines of communication, reconnect, and transform your life and relationship.

Child + Family Counseling

Parents embark on their journey with a desire to be successful raising their children, not anticipating that their role may involve feeling hurt, frustrated, or helpless. Whether it's change, loss, or trauma that's affecting your family, or you're finding it difficult to manage your child's behaviors, we can help.
We offer therapy for children and teens. When working with kids, we always aim to include the whole family, so you can work to heal now and grow together.

Our Therapeutic Approaches

All of the approaches used at Live Well are proven to be effective, based on research and strong bodies of evidence, and are designed to harness the power of the nervous system in healing.
So what does that mean for you? It means we’ll build a foundation on our key, evidence-based frameworks, then create a customized plan that feels right for you. We'll take into account the current state of your life, your history, and what hurts, along with the innate strengths and capacity that already exist within you. 
Our key therapeutic frameworks include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Ego State Therapy, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples), and Polyvagal Theory, along with various models of play and family therapy.
