Services
Marriage Counseling
Our licensed counselors specialize in restoring marital balance through solution-focused therapy. With over two decades of experience, we address infidelity, communication breakdowns, and co-parenting challenges. The marriage intensives program condenses months of therapy into concentrated sessions for couples seeking rapid progress.
Christian Counseling
Integrating Biblical principles with clinical expertise, our Christian counseling services help clients maintain spiritual focus during treatment. Led by former pastor Dr. Steve Jennings, sessions incorporate faith-based perspectives on trauma recovery, family dynamics, and personal growth while respecting individual denominational beliefs.
Equine-Assisted Therapy
This experiential therapy uses horse interactions to improve emotional regulation and self-awareness. Specially trained therapists guide clients through activities that build trust, communication skills, and confidence. Particularly effective for trauma survivors and military personnel, sessions combine equine work with traditional counseling techniques.
Parenting Classes
Structured programs address co-parenting challenges, child behavior management, and effective discipline strategies. Certified instructors help parents navigate custody transitions, developmental milestones, and conflict resolution. Classes accommodate both court-mandated participants and voluntary attendees seeking improved family dynamics.
Trauma Recovery
Specialized trauma treatment includes certified providers in TF-CBT and compassion fatigue therapy. Our clinicians address PTSD, abuse recovery, and secondary trauma affecting first responders. Evidence-based modalities like EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy help clients process traumatic experiences and develop coping mechanisms.
