DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE…

You’ve lost sight of your values and the things or the people that once brought you the most joy?

Hurt, anger, and resentment are piling up, creating distance between you and someone you love?

The changes in your life are overwhelming and you’re unsure of the next steps?

we are here to take the next steps with you

Life has a way of presenting us with the most unexpected twists and turns, and acknowledging these complexities can be a daunting task. When faced with unexpected life changes or emotional upheaval, it’s common to retreat inward. This instinct to isolate can stem from a desire to shield ourselves from further hurt or to prevent burdening those around us. However, this approach can often deepen feelings of loneliness and despair, and we might just miss the opportunity for connection and support from others.

At Ivy & Reed Counseling and Consulting, we recognize that the choice to invite someone to accompany you through a challenging time in your life takes a great deal of courage and vulnerability. The goal is to offer a compassionate approach that fosters a safe space for you to share the innermost workings of your heart without fear of judgement. Our experienced and caring professionals understand that it is a privilege, not a right, to be on this journey with you and are prepared to handle each step with care.

Why therapy?

Therapy offers a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals can safely explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment from others. It provides a unique and valuable opportunity to gain deeper insight into personal challenges and to develop effective coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns that may arise. Engaging in therapy fosters self-awareness, which is crucial for personal growth, helps improve relationships through better communication and understanding, and enhances overall emotional well-being. By addressing past experiences and current struggles in a constructive manner, therapy can truly empower individuals to make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives, ultimately helping them to achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose. Whether dealing with specific issues or simply seeking personal growth and improvement, therapy can be an invaluable resource for anyone looking to enhance their mental health, relationships with others, and overall quality of life.

The journey to healing

1

Schedule a Free Consultation

Finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with is one of the most crucial parts of the therapy process. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute consultation as an opportunity to get to know the therapist and ask any questions that you may have prior to committing to therapy.

2

First Session

The intake session serves as a foundational step in the therapeutic process, allowing clients to share their personal history and current challenges. During this initial meeting, clients can expect to engage in a comprehensive discussion about their concerns, providing essential context for future sessions.

3

collaborative goal setting

Goal setting is a fundamental practice that helps individuals and couples define their aspirations and create a clear roadmap to achieve them. This collaborative approach fosters a supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood, laying the groundwork for a tailored therapeutic plan.

4

Ongoing Sessions

Regular therapy sessions help build trust between the therapist and client, allowing for deeper insights and more effective progress toward personal goals. That being said, therapy does not follow a one-size-fits-all model, and it is up to the therapist and the client to determine how often and for how long sessions will occur.

seeking help is a strength, and finding clarity takes time and patience.

Change is hard work. But when we take the time and effort to release those things that are weighing us down, we make space for something new—something better.

This is your work, and these are your steps to take, but we are here to take them with you.
