Get support at each stage of life.

 

Individual Therapy

At Balanced we work with both individuals and groups. If you choose individual therapy, it allows us to get to know you in a very private environment which contributes to open and honest communications. When we work one-on-one we are able to match communication and therapy techniques to your specific needs and we can customize plans for your success.

We believe in the integrity of each individual and his or her right to receive quality care regardless of age, gender, race, faith or orientation. Because Balanced has a team of nine unique counselors, we will make every effort to accommodate your preferences to make you feel most welcome.

 

Couples Therapy

Marriage or other long-term relationships require work and commitment. Sometimes, couples need the help of a counselor in developing or adjusting their communications systems, dealing with financial or other stresses, or working through issues from trust to intimacy.

When you meet with a Balanced therapist, you’ll have a private setting in which to share your concerns and develop new skills to improve your relationship. Our therapists have a breadth of experience and techniques that can be used to help overcome the problems that threaten the success of a relationship.

Children & Teen Therapy

All our therapists have extensive experience counseling children and teens. We understand that youth require a different style of communication to make them feel comfortable sharing their experiences and thoughts. We have specific techniques to help them develop valuable methods to cope with the issues they struggle with today as well as equip them to successfully manage future challenges.

Your Balanced therapist will work with parents and children to determine the best way to encourage individual development and family communication. We not only want to help the individual find a course to wellness, but also find positive ways for parents to support them in that journey. In addition, we have relationships with local schools to facilitate parent-approved communications that will further the child’s progress.

Children: Many children benefit from counseling when dealing with issues related to bullying, grief and loss, self image, learning and behavior disorders, adjustment or others. Balanced has a environment that makes children feel comfortable. We often use toys or games to engage children in play while we build trust and solicit conversation. When we develop techniques for children to practice we provide simple reminder sheets and incentive-based strategies to encourage follow-through.

Teens: Teens deal with stresses that can feel overwhelming and insurmountable. We counsel teens needing help dealing with the a variety of stresses from school pressures to relationships to self image. We have techniques to support negative coping methods including depression, self-harming, suicidal ideation, violence or other acting out behaviors and eating disorders.

 

Family Therapy

Balanced works with families who need support in coping with a significant loss or other stressful event such as a divorce or move as well as those looking to improve relationships or communications. Family therapy is also beneficial for those families looking to support a family member dealing with a mental health or behavioral issues.

Our team wants to be sure that regardless of the situation or issue challenging one or more family member, that the entire family unit can come together to understand the role each can play in the recovery effort.
