Welcome to Character Counseling

Home
We believe everyone deserves a chance to succeed. We help couples reconnect, families find balance, and teenagers find purpose.  Our passion is to help people see what they can become, and to teach them the skills to get there.  We are committed to helping people in ways that maximize their strengths while customizing a creative plan to fit their needs. In order to achieve lasting change, we help people harmonize the psychological, physical, and spiritual aspects of their lives in a respectful and meaningful way.
 
We still believe the truth sets people free, that’s why we will walk together through the path of self-awareness while challenging beliefs that have held you back.

 

Beyond Therapy

We help people gain much more than emotional wellbeing. We teach them strategies to rediscover the art of thinking and reset their lives. If you would like to obtain some perspective in your life and learn simple and effective tools to overcome your obstacles, you have come to the right place.

Home
We use evidence-based approaches to help individuals regain control of their lives. Whether through individual, couples, or family therapy, we can help you and your loved ones walk through life’s desert with clarity of mind.

One of our objectives is to give you more than a psychological Band-Aid. The skills you learn will not only help you through your current challenges, but will remain with you forever and serve as a source of guidance for you and those around you.

Depression

Home

We provide a safe and confidential atmosphere for you to work through this tough time in your life.  Whether you are going through a depressive phase or experiencing the pain of major depression, there is a way out.  And we can help you find it. 

Attention Difficulties 

Home

There is no age limit for one to experience attention problems.  In a culture where distractions have largely replaced discipline, there is an increasing need to reevaluate priorities and focus on what matters.  We can give you tools to maximize your ability to concentrate. 

Anxiety

Home

If you feel like you are about to lose control or simply can’t let go of the thought that something bad is about to happen, you are not alone.  From racing thoughts to panic attacks, be assured that it is possible to manage your emotions rather than being managed by them.

Addiction

Home

The drive to satisfy an insatiable desire may have handcuffed you or a loved one to a habit that cannot be broken.  Until now.  Using a holistic approach, we can help you or a loved one understand the cycle of addiction and experience the power of freedom. 

Grief

Home

No pain is comparable to the pain of losing a loved one or having your entire life changed in an instant.  When your world becomes dark but everybody else’s world moves on, the strength to look up may feel like an impossible task. We will walk with you through the deep questions.

Relationships

Home

Although our lives are immersed in social connections, there are no manuals to help us deal with difficult people or know the best approach to get through to others, including our own families.  We can help you gain insight into social interactions and express yourself more effectively.

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.”
