Grief & Loss

Times of grief and loss can be isolating but seeking out for help can be the opportunity for you to find support during a painful time. We are available to discuss and explore topics of loss, life transition, grief, and death in a way that can help you sort through this without shame and aloneness.

Life Transitions

Self-Esteem & Self-Images Issues

Whether we find it difficult to recognize strengths in ourselves or we experience problems with self-worth about our job, our therapists are ready to begin exploring where these “standards” come from and to help you build a foundation of strength and worth, where you don’t need to be reliant on external worth to keep you going.

Professional & Personal Balance

Our staff can help you explore how limit setting and better boundaries can empower you to prioritize what’s most important to you, while also finding ways to sufficiently tackle the more cumbersome but necessary tasks in your life so that you can work toward a balance that is more manageable.

Sexuality & Gender Issues

Our staff have a passion for working with sexual and gender minorities and understand that there are societal, cultural, and relational factors that impact one’s various intersecting identities. We are committed to providing affirmative therapy to the LGBTQIAP+ community and creating a strong therapeutic relationship where clients can further understand, examine, and accept their most authentic selves.

Substance Use Concerns/Addiction

Psychological Services staff have additional training and education in treating compulsive behaviors and addiction/substance use issues, and Dr. Bricker –Psychological Services’ director who holds senior-level certification as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor – provides treatment and consults regularly with the PS, PC staff to ensure that clients seeking treatment for these concerns get exceptional and scientifically-informed care in finding their way to freedom from these difficult to manage issues.

Cultural Adjustment / Multicultural Concerns

Our staff pride ourselves on being aware and attuned to the intersectionality of identities that a client may bring into session. There can often be instances where one’s cultural upbringing instilled values or practices clash with our current environment, and we are stuck on how to navigate it. We understand that these intersecting identities may influence the therapeutic process and we look to engaging in that process with you.
