We all have the innate capability and tendency to develop our full potential. So let's take that next step to move forward with a more healthy & balanced life.
Teen Counseling
For the ones in between....
Adolescents and teens have their own unique set of challenges that elicits the need to create a space in which they can gain greater insight into their thoughts, actions, and emotions. Forge Clinicians assist teens in discovering their strengths, encourage self-reflection, and promote empowerment to make changes. Through each clinician’s unique approach, and genuine engagement healthy relationships are created to assist youths in uncovering their potential to successfully manage their needs. We strive to create a safe space for teens while incorporating family work to build strong connections and relationships within the home.

Relationships can be the most rewarding while also extremely difficult or challenging. We learn a lot about ourselves through our relationship experiences. Over time, couples can start to feel stuck or stagnant. Counseling can be highly effective to start moving couples in the right direction.

Play Therapy
For the young ones....
Play is the natural language of children, and children can express their thoughts and feelings through play. Often children do not have the words to express their feelings or experiences, so they express how they feel by acting out. When children have the opportunity to communicate how they feel through play, they many times feel better because their feelings have been released. Play therapy is shown to be very effective with children between the ages of 4-12.
Group Therapy
You're not alone...
Group counseling is unique in that it provides an opportunity to connect with other people who are working towards growth in their lives, to connect, learn from and teach one another. Topics of groups vary and are tailored to the needs of the individuals who participate. Most groups have 6 - 10 members and meet weekly.
What makes group counseling helpful...
Many elements of the group have been noted to be helpful to clients. These include feelings of universality (knowing you aren’t alone), altruism (helping others), improving relationship skills, gaining hope for yourself and others, and building solid connections with others in a safe and structured environment.
What is important to know...
Group counseling lead by a licensed professional counselor is held to the same confidentiality and privacy as individual counseling. We ask all members of the group to respect this level of confidentiality, and outside relationship are discouraged.
