INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING FOR ADULTS

Welcome to Kairos Counseling Center, LLC

Kairos is defined as a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action: the opportune and decisive moment. If you are here, you have taken a big step towards your healing. Change is possible and rewarding. You can manage difficult emotions, feel less sad and anxious, improve your relationships, establish and maintain health boundaries, make better decision, or communicate more effectively.

Do you feel as if you are not enough; that you give of yourself to others, but no one does the same for you? Do you find yourself in relationships with partners that are one sided and unfulfilling? Are you struggling to let go of the things done to you? Do you sometimes feel anxious, sad, lonely or hopeless? I understand and can help. Together we can work together to help you find balance and set boundaries so that you began to see yourself and your situation differently.

We will work on the emotional as well as practical. I take an integrated approach to counseling we are triune beings, so it is important that we also address our spiritual wellbeing. I blend biblically principles and psychological techniques. This is not Christian counseling, but it is using your faith as a critical tool towards your healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

You do not take my insurance can I still schedule with you?

Yes, If I am not on your insurance you may be able to file for reimbursement check to see if you have “out of network benefits” or use your HSA (Health Savings Account) or your FSA (Flexible Spending Account).

How often do I need to be seen?

It is highly recommended that you attend counseling weekly. Weekly sessions, especially initially, will help us establish a comfortable working relationship and set a foundation for therapy. Once you began to see improvement and are able to maintain your positive changes session frequency can be decreased.

How can counseling help me?

Sometimes situations overwhelm us and cloud our ability to see the way forward. When this happens an objective third party can be a great tool in your arsenal. Humans are heard animals we need each other I will do my best to help you find practical solutions for your situation.

I am on medication why do I need counseling?

Medication is a wonderful tool to include in your toolbox, but it is not a cure all. Medication can reduce symptoms but is not a permanent fix. Counseling can assist you to get to the root of the problem and develop strategies you can use for years to come to prevent a relapse.
