Clincial couples counseling is helpful when one or both parties have mental health issues that require psychotherapy treatment involving the relationship. The 'patient' or client is the individual with the diagnosis, and the type of therapy helping them out is clincial couples counseling. A mental healthh diagnosis such as PTSD, Depression, ADHD, or Generalized Anxiety Disoorder, Hoarding, or other condition that requires treatment, couples counseling may be the best option to help to ameloriate mental health conditions. Clinical couples counseling is not the same as regular couples counseling which focuses on healthy individuals who need help with communication, building a better relationship, and there is no mental health issue to treat. This distinction is important both for your care, the kind of treatment you receive, and whether or not you have insurance coverage. There also may be legal implications when there is possible divorce or custody battles which are important to know.

Some people are seeking relationship counseling to resolve a relationship issue, conflict resolution, or a concern about a reunion.  These issues are non-medical and best handled by a relationship coach with a clincial background. These services are usually private pay since insurance only covers for medically necessary services and not personal growth and wellness. I am able to provide these services so if you are interested, please contact me to discuss details.

Clinical hypnosis is a therapuetic tool that can assist in the treatment of mental health issues and emotional/mental aspects of physical health concerns. Hypnosis can complement counseling by tapping into deeper aspects and resources of yourself that are not normally available in the average waking state. Counseling services can help you determine if hypnosis is right for you and you can explore different hypnotic states and see how you respond to them.
