I love the Lord, for He HEARD my voice; He HEARD my cry for mercy.
Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
Psalm 116:1-2
We try to be supportive, kind and caring. Rather than rushing to provide answers or solutions, we offer a listening ear and open heart, without judgement. When you share your feelings or experiences with us, we respond with compassion, always inviting you to share more of what you are comfortable with. Our approach is to be an empathetic witness to you and to let you know we understand and validate your emotions.
Together with you, we look back over your life, reflecting on it in a positive way by integrating your understanding of life. We strive to be present with you and include you in the conversation even if you don’t know exactly what you want to say. We will not compare or minimize your experiences with anyone else’s. Your circumstances are yours and yours alone. We are not afraid to tackle the really tough discussions, as there is no right or wrong way to grieve and there is certainly no time limit.
Our goal is to form an authentic relationship with you so you feel you are being heard and understood. We will develop a tailored plan specifically for young adults that helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses. By the end, you will have a clear path toward self-improvement and personal growth.
We listen carefully, so you feel you are being heard, listened to and understood. We will ask questions that help you build self-awareness and show that we are truly listening to you.
Anxiety- We will listen and show you that we hear you and that what you are saying matters to us. We empathize with you and will help you focus on how you got through difficult situations.
Depression- We will find a way to interrupt your negative thoughts by remaining encouraging. We will not be judgmental or critical and urge you to open up about your feelings. We will always be engaging and remind you of the unique qualities and giftings you have. We will encourage proper sleep, exercise and nutrition. We may also offer a daily structure, such as getting out of bed each day and getting dressed. We suggest that you consider helping others in some way, which can help you feel purposeful.
Marriage— We strive to help each of you build positive habits to meet each other’s needs. We help each of you recognize the hardships of your relationship and help you begin to mend the issues. We also help you create action that will bring about healthy change and help develop strong, healthy and vibrant relationships.
Separation/Divorce— We encourage you to know that it is okay to have a range of emotions and that both of your feelings are valid. We allow you to grieve in your own way and at your own pace. We will not be judgemental, but rather listen and help you navigate where the relationship is headed. We will offer you support and encourage you by suggesting activities you enjoy. We will always encourage you to use this time to get healthy emotionally.
We will encourage you to discover your sense of self-worth and help you determine your choices and your right to have power and control over your own life, both within and outside the home. Your three essential tasks for feeling empowered are capability, confidence and consistency and we will give you helpful feedback by asking relevant questions, helping you identify your needs and challenging you to reach new goals.
We teach you to be accountable and stick to your goals. We will be there when you fail and when you have success. We will always support and guide you when you fall down, but never allow you to use the failure as a crutch. We will be open about your differences and work together as a team. We will put together a detailed plan with clear objectives to help maintain your accountability. Our desire is to balance between support and guidance. We will always listen intently without judging your actions.
