About Us
Our Philosophy
At Reconnected we walk with clients as they are on the route to discovering coping skills and solutions to hurdles they may be facing. We are a firm believer in the power of nature and adventure, therefore, we incorporate talk therapy with experiential therapy interventions such as expressive arts, visualization, and other hands-on activities. We believe that our past shapes us, but doesn't define us. We provide counseling services to adolescents, young adults, and adults by using Experiential Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral. We know that every person is unique and so is their journey. We believe that everyone is an expert on their own experience and possess within themselves the tools to overcome life's roadblocks. We are strengths-based, which means we focus on what clients are, not what they aren’t. When difficult times arise it can be easy to forget your strengths. We work to help client's recognize their strengths and strengthen natural abilities while gaining new skills. Together we will address roadblocks such as depression, anxiety, stress, and self esteem. We are here to listen to your concerns and discover personalized solutions while engaging in fun, positive experiences.
We are honored to be along for the journey. We invite you to explore the website. If you have additional questions, or would like to make an appointment, please feel free to contact us anytime
