ABOUT US
Partners in Growth Counseling is a partnership of skilled mental health clinicians practicing under the same roof. We strive to provide a safe, comforting, and confidential environment for the individuals, couples, and families we serve. Our intention is to facilitate healing, growth, and change through the work we do collaboratively with our clients. We commit ourselves to providing help so that the people we serve can become the best version of themselves, developing healthy relationships and effective means of coping.
Individual therapy for adults and children
We provide individual therapy to help those who are working through personal and interpersonal challenges. We have experience helping individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, behavioral issues, adjustment and life transitions and family relationships. Therapy focuses on obtaining the necessary skills and strategies to become more self-aware, build strengths, repair communication, and to develop effective ways to cope.
Couples therapy
We provide treatment and support for couples in all stages of their relationships, including therapy for married and unmarried couples in both traditional and same sex relationships. We focus on helping to improve communication and compromise to achieve maximum satisfaction in the relationship.
Family therapy
We provide support to families who are in various stages of challenge or crisis. For parents, we provide warm support as well as evidence based parent training. For children, we provide a safe place to process through emotions, problems or situations. We work to help all members of the family improve their ability to communicate effectively.

You are always in charge of your treatment. You and your therapist can work together to determine the best plan to address your needs.
