Counseling, Therapy, & Consulting Services

FOR INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, FAMILIES, AND FAMILY BUSINESSES  .

WELCOME  We would like to personally welcome you to my Counseling and Therapy website.  We know that looking for a therapist can be confusing, given so many choices, and maybe even a bit scary, so we’ve designed my site to be very user-friendly and comforting.  We want you to feel increased hope that help is available and that a better life is possible.

Because choosing a therapist is an important personal decision,        We give a CONFIDENTIAL INITIAL CONSULTATION AT NO CHARGE with absolutely no obligation.  We offer this consultation by phone, or in my peaceful office located in located in Louisville, Kentucky, which is also very close to Shelbyville, Simpsonville, Smithville, St. Matthews, Shively, Prospect, Middletown, Lyndon, and Crestwood, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Clarksville, New Albany, Charlestown, and Floyd Knobs, Indiana and the entire Ohio Valley in the Louisville Kentucky Metropolitan Area,

So, please, make yourself at home as you enjoy our website.  If you've been struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or any other issues, then we think you deserve a happier, more satisfying life.  And, you can discover that professional insight, tools, and guidance through counseling and therapy sometimes really can be the difference that makes the difference.  However, unless you take the first step to solve your problems, they will never go away.

Resolving issues in family businesses.

Is your organization or business struggling with work
place dynamics?  Office politics?  Blaming others for work that doesn’t get done?  Absenteeism?  Lateness?  High turnover rates?  Do you wonder who will take over leadership when you leave or retire?  Do these dynamics interfere with productivity and creativity in the organization?

Helping family businesses manage the boundary between their business/financial concerns and family relationships is the core purpose of OIKOS INSTITUTE,LLC’S for BUSINESS FAMILIES. We promote effective communication to blend their business savvy with family relationships. Our individually designed program helps clients shift from problem focused to vision driven. OIKOS INSTITUTE,LLC’S for BUSINESS FAMILIES’customized services include: family business management, conflict resolution, succession planning, and family legacy. 

Some people may be tempted to just read through our website.  Reading is a good start.  But, to begin getting results, you’ll need to actually contact us and participate in a consultation.

Since our consultation is confidential and free, you have a lot to gain, including quite possibly the solutions, relief, inner peace, and happiness that I imagine you would like to enjoy.

So, when you're ready to begin with a simple and easy consultation that has the potential to help, we welcome your phone call or email so that together,

through the benefits of counseling, therapy, coaching, or business families' services we can start creating positive, lasting changes in your life.
