Individual Therapy
Children, Adolescents, and Adults
Individual counseling is a one-on-one experience with just you and your counselor in a supportive and judgment-free environment. The therapeutic relationship is a confidential alliance that promotes self-growth and positive change. We all have a unique story, accompanied by varying obstacles that can get in the way of our health and happiness. Life can feel overwhelming, painful, and hopeless at times, and we may feel powerless against the things that we've been dealt or that get thrown our way. Therapy can provide you with the necessary tools to help you cope with the trials and tribulations of life - past, present, and future. Our counselors work with kids, teens and their parents to improve developmental, emotional, and behavioral issues. Each client is given individualized care and support to work through life's challenges and build overall wellness.

Couples Therapy
Build your Partnership
Relationships are central to our lives, but they can also be challenging to navigate. The ways we’ve learned to communicate, handle conflict, manage triggers, and set boundaries don’t always serve us—or our partners—well. Often, we do the best we can with what we know… until we’re given the tools to do better.
Whether you’re facing a possible breakup, working through ongoing conflict, or simply wanting to strengthen your connection, couples counseling can help you and your partner build the healthier, more fulfilling relationship you both deserve.
Seeking support as a couple is not a sign of failure—it’s a sign of commitment. Just as you would turn to a mechanic when your car needs repair, turning to a therapist for relationship support is a way of caring for something deeply valuable. Most of us were never formally taught how to create and sustain a healthy relationship; we learn from those around us, and sometimes those examples aren’t enough. Even when they are, being a good partner can still be hard. Counseling offers a space to grow, learn, and invest in your relationship with intention.
In couples counseling at Empower and Thrive, you and your therapist will:
-
Establish clear, shared goals for your relationship.
-
Explore the unique dynamics between you and your partner.
-
Learn and practice communication and conflict-resolution skills in session.
-
Apply what you’ve learned through optional exercises between sessions.
Our goal is to help you and your partner move toward a stronger, more connected partnership—one where both of you feel heard, supported, and loved.

Parent Coaching and Family Counseling
Helping Parents and Families Create Harmony in the Household
Empower and Thrive Counseling offers parent coaching and family therapy to help parents and families who are in need of some guidance, support, and healing. Our counselors have experience working with children, teens, and parents, helping them to navigate negative behavioral, relational, and emotional patterns. We aim to assist and encourage caregivers and family members through the challenging and often difficult times. Parent coaching will focus on helping you interpret your child's problem behaviors, understand your parenting style, build parenting techniques (rewards/consequences), learn effective communication skills to use with your child, set healthy boundaries, and ultimately create a lower-stress home environment for you and your family. Family counseling can help members build essential communication skills, navigate and resolve conflicts and deeper issues, and understand and change maladaptive patterns that interfere with relationships.
