Services
Individual Sessions.
Individual counseling sessions are structured around the individual's personal challenges and goals. Sessions can be held in either the office or at an adventure site such as local parks, the Life Adventures sail boat, or at the climbing gym.
Whether you are working on symptom management, meeting a specific goal, improving the quality of your relationships, or just meeting your full potential, finding a rhythm in therapy that feels warm, real, and rewardingly challenging is always the priority.
Couples Counseling or Relationship Coaching.
Couples counseling sessions are structured around the couple's areas of challenge and goals. Couples sessions can also be scheduled in either the office or out at an adventure site such as local parks, the Life Adventures sail boat, or at the climbing gym. During couple's counseling, the relationship is the client of focus. Relationship coaching focus more closely on education and practice of new skills towards more relationship satisfaction. Examples of topics include: communication & listening, empathy, intimacy, vulnerability, teamwork, shared meaning and ritual establishment, and organization.
Mindfulness Coaching.
Many integrate mindfulness coaching into their individual counseling sessions. Purely mindfulness coaching sessions focus more closely on education and the practice of specific mindfulness skills such as meditation, breathing practices, mindful eating, intention setting, and the manifestation of a mindful lifestyle. I find that many people have misperceptions about mindfulness that harm their progress. Mindfulness coaching always begins with the process of letting go of perfectionism and previously-held beliefs about what it means to practice mindfulness.
Canine Assisted Therapy.
Comrade, Life Adventure's canine therapist, is in the office 1-2 days per week. His presence is warm, calm, and silly, helping you to feel at home in the therapeutic process right away. Animal-assisted therapy is also highly effective for those with depression, attention deficits, social deficits, and more! Contact me to learn more.
Emotional Support Animal Approval Program.
Pets increase our wellness, there's no doubt about it which is why airlines and federal housing laws have offered Emotional Support Animal approval as an option for those who are served by the presence of their pet. Contact me to see if you and your pet qualify!
Beware online Emotional Support Animal (ESA) approval letters! The laws about ESA's state that only a mental health professional who is treating the individual with the letter may provide such certification, therefore online letters and letters from primary care doctors are increasingly rejected.
Life Adventures provides a comprehensive four-step program for legal and honest Emotional Support Animal Approval letters. This program ensures that each letter holder is entitled to approval and highly knowledgable about their rights with their ESA.
