Individual Psychotherapy

Helping Better Understand Your Mental Health

A Safe Place to Help You Dish Up Your Therapy into Bite-Sized Pieces

What often appears as inappropriate or harmful thoughts and behaviors are indicators of real underlying pain that have never been processed safely. A client in her 60’s once asked me, “do all deep wounds need processed?” It’s my experience that they do.

Another client tearfully shared for the first time of a shameful sexual experience as a teenager that occurred over 50 years ago. Untreated trauma can often stunt your emotional growth. It’s important to find a therapist who facilitates your trauma into manageable pieces and helps you feel:

Safe
Understood
Validated
Respected

Without sharing these hurtful experiences, we cannot clearly see the parts of ourselves that need the most compassion. It’s never too late to help unpack your untreated emotional inhibitors and rediscover yourself through therapy.

We Help People Have The Relationships They Want.

How do you know who is the problem in a relationship? Is it your partner? Or is it you? Is it both of you? That’s what we need to find out.

If you’re ready, it is time for a change, and we have the best individual psychotherapy in California and Idaho.

Relationships can be tricky, and if you’re the only one in the relationship that recognizes that change needs to happen, we can help guide you individually.

We are here to help you work on your relationship and improve your behavior.

You are not alone.

You might be asking yourself, why am I the only one having issues in my relationship.

The answer is there is no such thing as a perfect relationship or marriage.

Relationships are always shown as something out of a fairy tale. When in reality, they are a lot harder because there is no blueprint for them. When it comes to your real life, you want to make sure you plan accordingly when in a relationship. Our psychotherapy will help your overall behavior and actions in your relationship.

We want you to find the balance between your needs and sacrificing things for your relationship. We completely understand that you want the love you desire.

We want to hone in on what stresses you out, makes you overwhelmed, and what is making you feel hopeless in your relationship. You don’t need to put yourself through this hardship on your own because with our psychotherapy in California and Idaho, we will be there for you.

Relationship therapy, for one, can help you figure this out.

You and your therapist will look at your life-long relationship experiences and patterns. Perhaps how you healed from a childhood that was maybe a little less than ideal. And, most of all, improve your relationship with yourself. So you can learn healthier communication and relationship skills.

Improve your current relationship. Or, set the groundwork for a relationship in the future.

With relationship therapy for individuals, move towards the life and relationships you want.

Hi! It’s me, Doug!

I have had the opportunity to help many individuals better themselves as parents and spouses. The sacred role of walking with someone or a couple through their hurt is often met with the reward of seeing them connect more to themselves and others.

Couples counseling can help your relationship by removing some of the anger from arguments, resentment from fights, and isolation from alone-time. At the same time, it increases intimacy, strengthens communication, and cultivates the happiness that feels like it’s missing.

“I should have gone to see him sooner”

“I saw Doug after losing my house and business in one of the wildfires. I was suffering from depression. I had never seen a therapist or counselor before and was very skeptical. Also, I knew I would only feel comfortable if they had a biblical foundation. Doug was just that. I had no reason to be nervous. He mainly just listened and gave me space to talk which helped uncover some root issues that needed to be addressed. He was a tremendous help. I should have gone to see him sooner in hindsight.”
