Reason & Heart Counseling

Services

Counseling for thinking and feeling

Choose a format that fits, then go deeper where you need specialized care.

Ways to work

Four clear formats

Start with how you want to show up. Fees, scheduling, and fit are confirmed in consultation.

  • Individual

    Private sessions for adults and adolescents with depth, skills, and a pace that fits real life.

  • Couples

    Work that looks at the pattern between you, not only the latest argument.

  • Group

    Facilitated spaces for shared learning, practice, and reflection alongside others.

  • Skills training

    Structured skill-building, including DBT-informed tools you can carry into everyday moments.

Specialty focus

Where the practice goes deep

Six areas where reason and heart are especially needed, each held with both evidence-based tools and genuine relationship.

  1. 01

    Emotion regulation & intense emotions

    When feelings surge or shut down, and you need both understanding and usable skills.

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informs this work: naming what is happening, staying steadier in the storm, and choosing responses that fit your values. Intensity is taken seriously without reducing you to a diagnosis.

  2. 02

    Anxiety & depression

    Worry, heaviness, or numbness that keeps narrowing what feels possible.

    Thoughtful problem-solving paired with genuine empathy, so you leave sessions with clearer insight and practical strategies, not only a place to talk.

  3. 03

    Perinatal mental health

    Pregnancy, postpartum, and the quiet weight of becoming or being a parent.

    Specialized support spanning preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum, anchored by training as a Certified Perinatal Mental Health clinician (PMH-C) and holding room for the full complexity of this season.

  4. 04

    High achievers, overthinking & perfectionism

    A life that works on paper while something quieter keeps cracking.

    For professionals and deep thinkers who lead with logic, hold high standards, and want counseling that is intellectually honest without leaving the heart behind.

  5. 05

    Couples counseling

    Connection, distance, and the patterns that keep repeating between you.

    Space to slow the cycle, understand what sits underneath the fight, and practice new ways of relating, informed by Gottman Method Couples Therapy – the gold standard in evidence-based couples care.

  6. 06

    Life transitions

    Parenthood, career change, college, retirement, and the identity shift that comes with them.

    When an established path no longer fits, or a new chapter asks more than you expected. Clarity, steadiness, and room to rebuild something more aligned.

How the work happens

Modalities, in plain language

Approaches are chosen for fit, never as a one-size script. Training details live on About.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

    A structured framework that balances deep validation of where you are right now with practical strategies for change. Beyond teaching concrete skills, it is about making sense of intense emotions and building a life that feels steady and meaningful.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Clear links between thoughts, feelings, and choices, with tools you can practice between sessions.

  • Trauma-informed approaches

    Care that respects how past experiences shape the present, including DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE) when appropriate.

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy

    Research-informed couples work focused on friendship, conflict, and shared meaning.

  • Motivational Interviewing

    Collaborative conversations that honor ambivalence and strengthen your own reasons for change.
