At ACACIA RISING COUNSELING, I offer individual, couple, and family therapy using a strength-based heart-centered solution-focused approach grounded in multiple theoretical models, including experiential, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavorial, attachment, and systems.
At ACACIA RISING COUNSELING, I recognize that each individual, couple, and family is unique, and I work with the client system to negotiate a plan that is tailored to meet their needs. I encourage clients to engage in sessions with friends, relatives, partners, or family members who may be affected by the issue(s), or who can asist with understand the issue(s) better.
At ACACIA RISING COUNSELING, I welcome all compositions of families, and do not discriminate based on age, gender, race, class, culture, or sexual orientation.
