Children:
Adolescents, Tweens & Teens
Guiding Children Towards a Bright Future
Adolescents, tweens, and teens navigate a transformative stage of life filled with unique challenges, including academic stress, evolving social dynamics, and the looming question of “what comes next?” They may also face complexities such as ADHD, OCD, or anxiety, which can complicate daily life and learning. Building a supportive friend group, addressing substance use, and managing relationship issues often become pivotal aspects of this journey. Colleen’s approach is designed to empower these young individuals with tools to understand and regulate their emotions, build healthy relationships, and develop the resilience needed to face these challenges while laying a strong foundation for their future.
Young Adult
Transition Support: Navigating Life’s Complexities
This transitional phase can be both exciting and overwhelming for young adults as they navigate the intricacies of gaining independence, making career choices, forging relationships, and finding their rightful place in the world. Amidst these challenges, many also face the complexities of managing anxiety, coping with depression, adjusting to the realities of ‘adulting,’ resolving roommate issues, and confronting substance use concerns. We provide a compassionate and supportive environment, offering practical guidance to help young adults navigate these multifaceted changes. Our approach is designed to help overcome these obstacles, address emotional and mental health challenges, and foster a deep sense of purpose and direction.
Adults
Mastering Personal and Professional Life Challenges
Adult life brings its own set of challenges, from navigating career pressures and relationship dynamics to parenting and personal growth. Amid these complexities, adults may also contend with the shadows of past trauma, manage anger issues, heal from the impact of sexual assault, and cope with anxiety and PTSD. Colleen’s therapeutic practice offers a compassionate space for adults to explore these varied experiences, providing support to address unresolved issues. Her approach facilitates a journey of self-discovery and renewal, aiming to empower individuals to find healing and build a path forward.
Couples
Strengthening Connections and Fostering Understanding
At the heart of her practice, Colleen believes that emotional bonds are at the core of marital and family relationships. She utilizes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples understand and improve their emotional attachment, fostering a secure, resilient bond that can withstand the challenges of life. Her therapy sessions are characterized by a warm, empathetic environment where both partners feel heard and valued.
Colleen’s approach is collaborative and tailored to the unique needs of each couple. She guides her clients through three primary stages: de-escalation of negative cycles, restructuring interactions, and consolidation of new patterns of interaction. Through this process, couples learn to identify and express their needs and emotions, understand their partner’s perspective, and develop healthier ways to address conflict and intimacy issues.
Her ultimate goal is to empower couples to create a more secure, lasting connection, leading to greater happiness and fulfillment in their relationship. Colleen’s commitment to EFT and its evidence-based success in improving emotional connection makes her an ideal therapist for couples seeking to deepen their bond and resolve interpersonal difficulties.
