All of us have problems at times, periods when we're depressed or anxious, when life's stresses seem overwhelming. Most of the time we can resolve these problems ourselves. But sometimes we can't; sometimes it's just smarter to seek the help of experts. Because The Oikos Institute approach is so practical and down-to-earth, we can often get your life back on track in just a few sessions - what is called "solution-focused" treatment. Other times, you may be seeking therapy for a different reason: you might have reached a point in your life where you realize you repeat self-destructive patterns, and you want to stop. Through long-term counseling - six months or longer - you can make deep, permanent changes, reverse your negative cycles, and prevent future repetitions of chronic problems.

Individual psychotherapy is the modality that is most appropriate for many problems. However, other situations call for relationship counseling or family therapy. We can help you determine what is best for you.
