So you're shopping for a therapist. Considering professional help is a big step. Let's make this an experience you can be proud of. Imagine for a moment feeling open and confident about your choice to work with a therapist. It's important for you to be proud of the growth you make. Having said that, your privacy is key as well. Have you heard people jokingly say things like "that guy needs a shrink, " "she needs therapy, " or "that kid needs to be in counseling?"
Unfortunately, as a society we shame those who need or are utilizing professional resources. To some degree or another, the general public is aware of the unfortunate stigma surrounding "being in counseling". Slowly-but-surely, this flawed way of thinking is being chipped away at. Through public education and the brave testimonials of thousands whose lives have improved as a result of their diligent therapeutic work our culture is shifting.
Whether it be your own emotional burdens, repeating the same harmful behavior, a joyless partnership or marriage, or you're on the verge of a breakdown because life has become too much to handle.

Services
Our first session will give you an opportunity to share your story and identify options to best meet your needs.
More time together relieves some of the pressure to "get it all out" in one session.
Feeling less rushed greatly helps my clients settle in and allow the experience to be more cathartic and healing.
If it's more convenient or your life is too hectic right now for face-to-face services, I also offer confidential, HIPAA compliant, counseling services.

I have worked in a professional capacity with Dustin.
He is knowledgable and personable.
You can tell he genuinely cares and enjoys his work.
He is committed to ongoing education and training and keeping his clinical skills sharp.
I would highly recommend him for couples counseling.
I am extremely happy as a client of Dustin's!
In the past, it has been very difficult for me to find a therapist.
Over the span of 10 years, I've tried 5 different therapists, and after about 2 or 3 sessions I just couldn't click with them.

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you've been seeking.
Individual therapy differs from group or relational therapy methods because you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy.
If you've been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels insurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life.
Relational therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of analysis or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, please reach out to schedule your first appointment.

All things can be improved with just a little support, no matter how big or small.
With couples therapy, you'll learn to recognize the common enemy is the negative patterns of interaction rather than blame one another, create new secure functioning, and enjoy an easier and more relaxed companionship.
