Are you feeling overwhelmed or hurting due to depression, anxiety or low self-esteem? If so, you could definitely benefit from counseling. Therapy is great for having someone to confide in and laugh with while identifying problems and developing solutions to get back to a happy place.

There are many reasons why someone may find themselves seeking a better way to engage with life. Maybe stress is feeling overwhelming and the strategies you have used in the past just aren't cutting it anymore. Maybe you find yourself in the throes of addiction and struggling with breaking the addictive cycle that keeps you from finding that better way. Because you are seeking, you have strength within you that is important to be recognized. People that find me during their search are typically those that find themselves in the aforementioned struggles and need support recognizing their strength to overcome their challenges.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of learning difficulties, including those caused by AD/HD. My approach to academic difficulties goes beyond the limited information contained in a diagnosis. I identify the specific causes of learning problems that can be targeted with academic therapy or accommodations in the classroom. I provide detailed interventions and recommendations that target specific cognitive processes (e.g., working memory, processing speed, planning, organization, etc.), higher level language and comprehension skills, and basic academic skills required for efficient learning. I use the latest research on individual differences to tailor interventions.

The four main areas I coach/counsel people in are: depression/anxiety management, anger management, career/business growth, relationship/marital challenges, and personal development. I am dedicated to helping people solve relationship and anger problems associated with disrespect, insecurities, bad attitudes, and guilt through spiritual non-judgmental conversation! Our hidden, underlying beliefs often keep us from experiencing the full richness of life. I use a combination of objective assessment tools, dialogues and cognitive behavioral exercises to help you achieve your dreams.

Hi! My name is Elisabeth Faust, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the behavioral health field for thirty (30) plus years. However, if you enjoy what you do, it is not work but a beloved career. I start slow getting to know my clients and making them feel comfortable before we move on to problem solving. I appreciate that people need to be heard and listening can be the best therapy. Different therapies work with different people. I employ basics of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills. I do encourage using mindfulness techniques and journaling.

Colby is passionate about life and about helping others to discover that same passion. He recognizes that we all go through life experiences that shape and form us into who we are today. Through those experiences, we can become stuck, discouraged, overwhelmed, feeling helpless, and hopeless. This can keep us from being able to maximize our happiness and joy. Colby uses a combination of therapy modalities to help us understand why we are the way we are, come to accept who we are, and then challenge ourselves to become our best self through intrapersonal and interpersonal growth.

Life can be a daunting, unforgiving roller coaster at times. It can impact who you are in many ways without warning. Having someone to support and guide you through that journey can be revitalizing. Working through those difficult situations in a safe environment with someone you can trust to help you find healing and peace at the end of the journey. I strive to empower the individuals I work with throughout their treatment that they can keep going and overcome life's obstacles. I help individuals be confident as the captain of their treatment, venturing through the past to find answers to their present needs.
