Services
Individual, Couple, and Family Therapy
Individual Therapy
Meeting individually for therapy is a wonderful form of self-care and maintenance. Working as a collaborative team, you and your therapist will define what problems keep you from living the life you want to live, come up with solutions and talk about the person you want to become. The experience will likely include several vantage points – past, present and future. Your therapist will meet you where you are and make every effort to understand your perspectives. We want you to feel welcome and safe in our office and in your therapeutic environment. Sandhill has a team ready to assist individuals of all ages and stages. We are also well equipped to handle the many surprises that life transitions bring to children, adolescents and adults such as depression, grief, ineffective coping, addiction, relationship difficulties, job stress, anxiety, and many other concerns.
Couple and Marital Therapy
At Sandhill Counseling & Consultation, LLC we know the importance of having well-trained and highly skilled marriage therapists’ attend to the needs of struggling couples. All couples deserve the best when it comes to saving or safeguarding their relationship; this includes working with a Licensed professional. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists specialize in the dynamics of relationships and are experts in strategies that are effective at producing long-term, systemic change.
Often the first step in couple’s therapy is to define what the real problem is. You may disagree on simple matters such as your husband folding a towel in the bathroom. In this example, it is not the stubbornness attributed to your husband for the way he continues to fold the bathroom towels after repeatedly being told to do it a different way. For instance, the problem could be that the wife feels unheard, unacknowledged, or unappreciated and the husband feels controlled and that his wife is mothering more than coupling. This is a small example of what we mean when the first step is to discover the real problem.
Intimacy and Sexuality Therapy
There are few places where one can safely explore and reflect on their own sexuality. The clinicians at Sandhill are trained, compassionate, and at ease in helping individuals and couples with intimacy and sexuality concerns. We look at sexuality from a systemic approach, identifying all the parts of one's life that contribute to the health of their sexuality.
Family Therapy
The clinicians at Sandhill believe that conducting family therapy is both an art and a science. We work to understand the perspective of each family member (whether in the room or not) and move quickly toward long-lasting change. Family therapy can involve any number of family member relationships including parent-child, sibling systems, remarried families, and multiple generations of members trying to break dysfunctional patterns.
Child and Adolescent Therapy
Young children and adolescents can benefit from therapy in several ways. There are times when children or adolescents need a private space to process their thoughts and feelings free from perceived judgment of parents or peers. Although it might make sense for children or adolescents to meet one-on-one with their therapist, all of our therapists believe the best opportunities to heal comes with the collaboration of families. Family therapy may evolve from individual child or adolescent therapy. We are often called on to help children with anxiety, grief and loss, sadness, or other difficult developmental hurdles. Children and Adolescents can also benefit from therapy in a group format. Group therapy is facilitated by a licensed therapist. Group members benefit from sharing and learning from the experiences of their peers. Healing occurs at many levels.
