Expert Counseling for Adults

Evidence-Based Approaches

Our counseling for adults is grounded in proven, evidence-based approaches that meet you where you are in life. Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help you identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports you in moving toward your values while building resilience in the face of life’s challenges. For those who want to explore deeper patterns, psychodynamic therapy uncovers how past experiences shape present struggles. By tailoring these approaches to your unique needs, we create a path toward meaningful change and long-term growth.

Free Self-Reflection Worksheet for Adults

Starting counseling often begins with looking inward. To help you take that first step, we’ve created a short self-reflection worksheet designed for adults. This simple, guided resource offers prompts to help you explore what’s been weighing on you, the patterns you notice in your daily life, and the goals you hope to work toward in therapy. Whether you’re new to counseling or returning after time away, this worksheet can help you clarify your thoughts and set intentions before your first session.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is adult counseling different from teen counseling?

Adult counseling focuses on responsibilities and life transitions—things like work, relationships, parenting, or retirement—while teen counseling centers more on identity, school stress, and family dynamics. Both use evidence-based approaches, but the support is tailored to the stage of life and unique challenges you’re facing.
