What is counseling?

Counseling is mental health care for people struggling with their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Northwest Psychiatry & Counseling offers counseling for all ages and situations, including:

  • Individual counseling
  • Couples counseling (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy)
  • Family counseling
  • Teen counseling
  • Child counseling
  • Addictions Counseling

Counseling can also be a good way to improve your understanding of yourself, create new life goals, and put new plans into action, even if you’re not currently struggling with your mental health.

Counselors often combine their skills with our Psychiatry professionals as part of a multidisciplinary approach to mental and emotional health. 

Counseling is different for every person. There are many different counseling approaches, including a few of the most common:

Behavioral

Behavioral counseling helps you examine your behaviors, identify problematic patterns, learn new healthy thought patterns, and enact long-term change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common example of behavioral therapy.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

EFT is a powerful therapy tool for couples, families and individuals who experience upheavals of conflict in their relationships. The approach helps people discover the connection skills that result in deeper, more satisfying relationships with their partner, spouse, children and coworkers. 

In several weeks of therapy, couples develop deeper understanding of themselves, learn to express themselves more openly and give and receive empathetic responses to each other. The closeness that they experience in the counseling process becomes a more healthy cycle of communicating at home and office. 

Trama Therapy 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Rreprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy with some CBT characteristics. (need help from Mollie to write this description.
