Couples & Family Counseling

Relationships can be very rewarding, but they do require work. Couples counseling is beneficial for couples who are in a new relationship and are having difficulty adjusting to a new life together, as well as couples who are in an established relationship, but have developed some less than satisfying interactions. If you would like to have a stronger, healthier relationship, couples counseling is for you. Families in distress can benefit from counseling as well. Family discord can be difficult for everyone in the home and can lead to problems outside the home. Family therapy can help families adjust to changes in the home as well as have better relationships and work together more effectively. If you would like to have a more peaceful family life now and establish strong family beliefs and healthy patterns of behavior for your children, family therapy will benefit you.    


Lesbian and Gay Issues

Dr. Sparks is aware of and sensitive to the needs and issues faced by the lesbian and gay community. The additional social pressures can make coping with life’s struggles especially difficult. Therapy can provide you the opportunity to learn new skills and engage in self-exploration in a positive, non-judgmental environment.


Hypnosis

Research has found hypnosis to be one of the most effective methods of producing change. While under hypnosis, people are generally very relaxed, and the brain is more open to suggestion. Hypnosis can be utilized to assist with weight loss, smoking cessation, anxiety management, and reducing physical pain, among other things. If you’ve had difficulty trying to change with more traditional methods, hypnosis may benefit you.


Individual Counseling
Life is constantly throwing challenges and obstacles in our paths, and because of the patterns we have established in our pasts we continue to draw on the same limited solutions. Counseling can help you develop a new perspective and can help shed light on the limitless possibilities for solutions to your problems. If you are struggling with a specific issue, or you just feel like you're stuck in a rut, individual counseling will benefit you. Learn to lead a more satisfying, productive life.
