LCSW
Life doesn't always go the way we hoped and sometimes depression, anxiety or fatigue takes over, parenting feels overwhelming, marriage becomes distant, or family relationships become more exhausting than fulfilling. In those moments, you don't need someone to judge your story, you need someone willing to walk through it with you.
LCPC

Our profiles and pictures3 day and 5 day intensives
An intensive gives you something ordinary sessions cannot: time. We meet each day, get underneath the crisis, create a recovery plan for your situation, and give you resources you can use when you go home.
Honoring those who serve
Behind every uniform, helmet, radio and badge there is a real person carrying experiences that most people will never understand. The weight of combat, trauma, critical incidents, stress, long shifts and the pressure to always be strong can take its toll.
At Art of Redirection, our counseling and coaching services are designed specifically for non-conventional people: firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, veterans, combat veterans, active duty military, dispatchers and other first responders. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, fatigue, relationship challenges, burnout, trauma, or you simply need someone who understands the unique challenges and demands of your service, you will find a safe place here at Art of Redirection. We provide confidential support and guidance for the unique challenges you face while teaching you awareness and tools to build resilience, effectively manage stress and strengthen your wellbeing. We provide understanding and clarity to help you build strength, develop successful coping skills and emotional resilience, so you can heal, move forward productively in peace, and thrive.
Everything shared with us remains confidential, which allows you the freedom to speak openly and honestly without fear that your conversations will automatically be reported and affect your career.*
*With all professional counseling and coaching there are limited legal exceptions involving imminent danger to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or when required by a lawful court order.

All videosQuestions people ask first
Straight answers to the things couples ask us on the phone, from what the difference is between counseling and therapy to how we handle faith in the room.
Marriage counseling usually means work on a marriage: conflict, trust, and the daily habits of living together. Couples therapy is the wider term, for any two people in a relationship, married or not, who want to understand their patterns and improve how they communicate. We do both, and we will tell you plainly which one fits what you are describing.
No. We work with engaged couples, dating couples, and couples who are not sure where this is going. Our faith shapes how we work, and we welcome people of any faith or none. Nobody gets a sermon.
