A therapy office at Wellness Works Counseling Services.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one support for anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and feeling stuck.

Individual therapy gives you a private, steady place to sort through thoughts, emotions, patterns, and decisions with support that fits your goals.

Child & Teen Therapy

Support for children and adolescents using practical, developmentally appropriate care.

For younger clients, Dar incorporates play-based and creative strategies so children can express feelings, practice coping, and work through challenges in ways that feel natural.

Couples Counseling

Guidance for communication, conflict, emotional distance, trust, and relationship stress.

Couples therapy helps partners understand patterns, speak more clearly, and rebuild healthier ways of responding to each other.

Family Therapy

A structured space for families to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen connection.

Family sessions look at the patterns affecting the whole system so each person can be heard and the family can move toward more stable relationships.

Trauma & EMDR

EMDR-informed care for trauma, distressing experiences, and symptoms that keep intruding on daily life.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less emotionally charged over time.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Support

Counseling for identity, relationships, stress, family dynamics, and mental health concerns.

The goal is a respectful therapeutic space where clients can talk honestly and work toward steadier wellbeing.
