I work with individuals and couples to explore these challenging issues.
Feeling overwhelmed is part of being human. We all struggle. Struggles are more common when you are coping with serious medical issues. You don't have to wait until an issue reaches a crisis point before you seek support in a safe, caring environment.
My primary goal for my clients is to provide the caring support and compassionate challenge they need to cope with difficult situations. I believe that most people can benefit from having an objective perspective on issues facing them. You can learn more on my blog: http://www.drannbeckerschutte.com/blog

Have you confided in friends asking for relationship advice, only to hear, “just hang in there, it’ll get better”? Do you find yourself hoping tomorrow will be different, believing your partner will change, clinging to those rare moments of kindness? Have you found yourself crying, feeling invisible and voiceless, using temporary distractions to numb your pain? Do you always put others' needs before your own trying to feel connected, only to end up in that dark place again, feeling alone and stuck? If you want to break free from this cycle, reclaim your authenticity and connect more deeply with others, I would love to work with you.

I specialize in couples counseling (including pre-marital), family counseling, addictions, emotional issues and teens/children.
We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.

What gives you a sense of purpose? What do you value in life? And for couples and families, what is your shared vision? Your answers will guide our agenda and will inform my counseling approach, which is always tailored to each client's unique needs.
Here we are, on this planet, trying the best we can to figure things out. But it can be hard when you feel isolated and lost. Or maybe you've attempted to find a solution with your partner and/or family, but it's just not getting you very far. You're stuck, and the pattern needs to change. This is where a therapist can help. My job is to provide a neutral, third-party perspective on your mental health and relationships. We analyze what works, what doesn’t, and consider some new tools when appropriate. We'll also study the deeper psychological underpinnings of your beliefs and behaviors. It'd be an honor to be a part of the team.
