In individual sessions, the clinician focuses on your individual treatment plan goals and objectives to assist you in raising insight and awareness, changing behaviors and thought patterns, as well as reducing negative symptoms and interference in functioning. It includes psychoeducation, learning new coping skills, and processing triggers and stressors. Sessions are often structured on a weekly basis at first and then are titrated down in frequency according to treatment plan progress.

WHAT I OFFER FOR YOU
Therapies & Treatments
Individual Therapy
For Teens
In adolescent sessions, the clinician focuses on the adolescent as the client and incorporates the parents/guardians as a part of therapy. Treatment plan goals and objectives are often designed with the understanding of complex family systems. Goals often include increasing effective communication, boundary setting, conflict resolution, psychoeducation as well as reducing negative symptoms and interference in functioning.
Couples Therapy
In couples therapy, the clinician focuses on treatment plan goals and objectives designed for the couple. This often includes goals such as increasing effective communication, conflict resolution, rebuilding the friendship, and re-engaging in intimacy. Sessions are often structured alternating on a weekly basis between seeing the couple one week then each individual partner the following week. This is to ensure progress is made from each individual towards the couples’ treatment plan.
TESTIMONIALS
What Clients Say
“I’ve become so much more self aware through the tools Joni has given to me with therapy. Now I have coping skills that help me through the toughest times!”
M.W.
“ Therapy is the best decision that I’ve made for myself. I have learned to manage my anxiety and handle day to day situations better than I thought I’d ever be able to when I started a year ago. I finally feel like my life isn’t controlled by my anxiety.”
K.P.
“Finding Joni was like a ray of sunshine I did not know could happen with therapy. She has been everything I need in working through things from my past and present. She supports me with the best tools for myself and in journaling and being present with my needs to take care of myself mentally to work through what I need. Working with Joni is something I will forever be grateful to have.
M.B.
“I am not sure what would have happened to our marriage if we had not started counseling with Joni. We were headed down a path that if I’m honest, was heading for divorce or both my husband deciding to stay in an unhappy marriage for convenience sake. Since we began our sessions, we’re communicating so much better, we’re remembering why we love each other – and maybe more importantly, why we like each other. Not only has Joni helped our marriage, I cannot say enough about how it has helped me personally. It has opened my eyes to the issues I have that are my own that I have been blaming my husband for – I’ve been learning how to be so much more accountable for myself. We can now talk calmly about things that bother us and we communicate so much more effectively. We’re not done with the work we need to do and we surely do not have a perfect marriage, but I am 100% positive that now we will stay happily married as we continue our work with Joni. I am so very, very grateful we found her.”
K.M.S.
