Individual Counseling

Clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist. Counseling can help achieve both short-term and long-term goals. You may benefit from a fresh perspective and learn to identify factors that attribute to difficulties and dissatisfaction. 

Group Therapy

Clients gain insight into their own thoughts and behavior, and offer support to each other.  In addition, people who may have a difficult time with interpersonal relationships, can take advantage of the social interactions that are an integral part of the group therapy experience.

Counseling for Children

If you feel your child might have behavior problems or needs help coping with a difficult life event, trust your instincts.  The first step is reaching out for help.  Parents/Guardians can provide helpful information regarding their children’s patterns of behavior at home and school. Also, children under the age of 6 can be evaluated with Developmental Testing.  It is a comprehensive, multidimensional assessment system that measures cognitive, social, emotional, intellectual and physical make-up.  This will provide a better understanding of the children’s behavior as it relates to typical developmental patterns in comparison to chronological age. Developmental Age best describes a child’s behavior and performance on a developmental scale;  and may be equal to, older or younger, than the child’s actual chronological age.  The result is that a distinction can be made between a developmental lag that requires intervention or those that are within normal boundaries.

Couples/Marriage & Family Counseling

Collage offers support to people in a committed relationship who may be considering separation or seeking to improve intimacy and mutual understanding. In couples counseling, the relationship is the focus, although each partner should also expect to work on self-improvement. Therapy can be useful in any family situation that causes stress or anger.  This process is intended to bring you closer together by deepening these vital personal connections. If there is peace in the heart, there is peace in your home.

Postpartum Treatment
