We believe through Christ we all have the power to overcome life’s challenges. If a client is open to it, we incorporate God and biblical principles into every session. However we do respect those who may not share in similar beliefs and work with them accordingly.
Compassionate, Therapeutic Approach
We offer a compassionate, empathic, yet direct strategic approach to counseling. Our therapeutic orientation and focus utilizes an Eclectic approach. It encompasses a multitude of therapeutic approaches with an emphasis on Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused dynamics. We encourage our clients to live in the reality of what happens next. While we believe in living in the reality of today, we also believe it is necessary at times to address past experiences. Unaddressed past experiences manifest in ways in which an individual may be unaware.
Guided Self-Healing and Personal Growth
We believe individuals are oftentimes more than capable of healing themselves, they just may sometimes need assistance in identifying issues that have affected their lifestyle decisions. We offer a humanistic therapeutic approach that gently guides an individual along a path to total self-understanding through the use of active listening and encouraging the patient to be completely honest with themselves. We believe total honesty leads to a greater sense of self-worth and self-esteem!

Coaching
“I had the opportunity to go through career coaching with Carla and she really opened up my eyes to the different possibilities in my career by asking me engaging and thought-provoking questions. Rather than recommending what I should do, she would ask me questions to make me really think about my career journey and the process to get there. We also had sessions where we discussed subjects outside of my career that helped me holistically.
