Individuals
One of the common reasons that people seek counseling help is for individual counseling. Whether you are seeking individual counseling for specific reasons of depression, anxiety, or a life changing issue, we can help. We all need help from others for clarity with the problems we are facing. We can’t do it on our own. Individual counseling can help you work through problems and stuck points, manage emotional distress, and feel more grounded in day to day life. You want to not only feel better, but have more of an understanding of why things happen to you and why you are having problems with living a more fulfilling life. Individual counseling can give you that clarity and peace in your personal life, professional life, and in your relationships. The therapists at Life Made Conscious use cognitive therapy, among other therapy modalities, to assist you in your journey.
What is cognitive therapy? Cognitive therapy approaches are useful to help you see where your thinking and conceptualizing are causing more of the very problems that you are trying to avoid in your life. Cognitive therapy is a proven and successful way to allow you to see yourself in a new light. Learn more about how individual counseling can help you.
Couples
You want more out of your relationship. Past incidents have eroded your sense of trust or you just want to stop fighting. You want your marriage to be more stable, open, and loving. Couples counseling can help. Relationships are one of the most rewarding, yet challenging parts of our lives.

Adolescent Counseling
Young men need help and guidance in different ways than adults do. Most adolescents struggle with issues such as self identity and esteem, depression, anxiety, and stress. The difference between them and adults is adolescents are developing into future adults so they need more guidance at this stage of life. Parents can struggle because adolescents are changing in ways they may not be able to help. Getting a supportive, yet impartial voice, can be helpful for both the adolescent and the parent. Going through adolescent and teenage years is tough for anyone. Getting help from a trained professional can help provide a young person the clarity, self esteem, and emotional skills they need to feel better, socialize better, and have a better outlook in life going forward.

Relational Life Therapy
Couples who are on the brink of relational disaster or divorce may very well need a specific type of approach in helping their relationship. Relational Life Therapy can help. Relational Life Therapy is an honest, upfront approach that has 3 main components. Joining through the truth. Family of origin exploration. And invaluable relational and communication skills. In joining through the truth couples learn exactly what is causing their relational dysfunction and pain. It isn’t about pointing the finger and blaming, it’s about using the truth to empower the relationship. It’s a powerful and eye opening process that helps people see what areas of the relationship they are potentially causing harm to. Many times without even knowing they are doing it in the first place. Family of origin exploration looks at learned behavior and how your current relational behaviors are causing some of the very dysfunction and problems you are looking to move away from. Whether we like it or not, we do, in fact, turn into our parents in many ways. The skills you learn in Relational Life Therapy will be life changing in the way that you communicate with your partner and will give you the power and insight to help navigate your problems in your relationship in a healthy and positive way. Imagine having the conflict in your relationship become a positive shaping experience instead of a damaging one. With Relational Life Therapy you and your partner will not only learn the “how” to help your communication and connection but also the “why”. You’ll learn about yourself and your partner in a new way and you and your partner can heal and grow in a new healthy relationship.

Men's Counseling
Most men don’t want to come into counseling. I don’t blame them. Who wants to sit down with someone and talk about the issues that are causing pain in your life? Most people don’t and men especially don’t want to do this. But the fact is that you are not happy and the things that used to bring you joy in your life are harder to find. You might be dealing with depression, or anxiety, or just not be able to see how to live a stable life that’s fulfilling. Men’s counseling can help. Life Made Conscious uses cognitive therapy and Relational Life Therapy modalities to help men better understand themselves and heal from the wounds and pain that they are dealing with. Let’s face it, things aren’t easy. Life pressures and stresses make it hard to not experience depression or depressive symptoms. Keeping up with family obligations in work, in your family life, and at work can feel overwhelming and can take a toll. With men’s counseling you’ll find that the counseling process can be a positive and life changing one. Whether you find it helpful to talk through your issues or have someone guide you to look at your personal issues in a new way, men’s counseling can help.
