Who Adult Counseling Is For
This is for you if life has started to feel like a lot—and you're not really sure how to keep carrying it all the same way.
Maybe you're showing up every day, doing what you need to do, but inside you feel anxious, exhausted, or disconnected. Or maybe things look "fine" on the outside, but internally you're overwhelmed, overthinking, or just not feeling like yourself anymore.
This is for you if you've said things like:
- "I feel like I'm constantly stressed and can't turn my brain off."
- "I'm overwhelmed, but I still have to keep everything together."
- "I don't feel like myself lately."
- "I'm just tired—emotionally, mentally, everything."
- "I keep trying to fix things, but nothing really changes."
Many adults come in navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship stress, grief, life transitions, or the weight of always being "the strong one" for everyone else.
And sometimes it's not one big thing—it's a buildup. You've been pushing through for a long time, and now it's catching up with you.
This space is for you if you're ready to stop just getting through the days and start understanding what's actually going on underneath what you're feeling.
How We Help
Our Approach to Adult Counseling
We meet you where you are—without judgment, pressure, or needing you to have everything figured out before you start.
Our work is collaborative and grounded in helping you understand what's driving your thoughts, emotions, and patterns—not just managing symptoms on the surface.
We often focus on identifying patterns that keep you stuck, strengthening coping tools that actually fit your life, and helping you feel more emotionally steady and connected to yourself again.
What Sessions Look Like
Sessions are a space where you can slow down and be honest about what's really going on.
We might talk through a stressful week, unpack patterns in relationships, explore anxiety or overthinking, or work through past experiences that still show up in your present.
Some sessions feel reflective. Some feel practical. Most are a mix of both. The pace is guided by you—what feels helpful, what feels overwhelming, and what you're ready to work through.
Our Practice's Expertise in This Area
Our clinicians have experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions.
We take a client-centered, trauma-informed approach that focuses on helping you feel more grounded, more self-aware, and more capable of handling life in a way that feels sustainable—not just survivable.
Issues We Address
Anxiety & Overthinking
If your mind feels like it never shuts off, or you constantly replay conversations, worry about the future, or feel on edge, we help you slow the cycle down and regain a sense of control and calm.
Depression & Emotional Numbness
If you feel tired, disconnected, unmotivated, or like you're going through the motions, we help you reconnect with meaning, energy, and emotional presence in your life.
Burnout & Life Overload
For those carrying too much for too long—work, family, emotional labor, caregiving—we help you identify what's unsustainable and build healthier balance and boundaries.
Relationship Stress
Whether it's conflict, disconnection, dating struggles, divorce, or communication issues, we help you understand your patterns in relationships and how to shift them.
Life Transitions
Divorce, breakups, career changes, becoming a parent, or unexpected shifts in life can feel disorienting. We help you find clarity and emotional grounding through change.
What Clients Experience
Clients often begin to:
- Feel less overwhelmed and more emotionally steady
- Understand their thoughts and emotional patterns more clearly
- Set healthier boundaries without guilt
- Feel more connected to themselves and what they need
- Experience less internal pressure and self-criticism
- Move through life transitions with more clarity and confidence
What to Expect
The First Session
The first session is about understanding what's been going on for you and what brought you in. We talk through your concerns, your history, and what you're hoping will feel different.
Ongoing Sessions
Ongoing sessions focus on what's showing up in your day-to-day life and how we can work with it in real time. We explore patterns, build insight, and develop tools that support lasting change.
Session Length
Sessions are typically 53 minutes, usually held weekly or based on your needs.
Tracking Progress
We check in regularly on how you're feeling, what's shifting, and whether therapy is helping you feel more grounded, clear, and supported in your life.
Insurance & Investment
We accept the following insurance plans: Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, Curative, Sana Benefits, First Health, UnitedHealthcare, Scott & White Health Plan, and UMR. For clients using out-of-network benefits, we can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.
Self-pay rates vary by clinician and license level, generally ranging from $80 to $250 per session. A limited number of reduced-fee sliding scale spots may be available based on need. We also accept FSA and HSA cards.
Start Feeling Like Yourself Again
You don't have to wait until things feel unmanageable to get support. If life has felt heavier lately, therapy can be a space to sort through what's going on and start feeling more like yourself again. When you're ready, you can schedule an Adult Counseling consultation to get started.
