Services
Individual
Individual therapy is a one on one session with your therapist, designed to help you overcome personal challenges and achieve your goals. It offers a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, process experiences, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change.
Family
Family therapy is a session that includes the client and at least one member of their family. It is available to help families overcome challenges related to communication, conflict, and other issues. Katie works with families to identify strengths and areas of need, support healing, improve communication and problem-solving skills, and develop a stronger sense of cohesion and support. Family counseling can also include sibling sessions and parenting education and support.
Kids and Teens
Therapy for kids and teens offers a safe space to talk about feelings, experiences, and challenges with a supportive professional. Through fun and engaging activities, like play or art, they can learn to manage emotions and build confidence. It’s a great way for young people to get the help they need and grow stronger as they face life’s ups and downs.
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling can be vital in helping you cope with the loss of a loved one. Counseling provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings of grief, gain insights about the different aspects of the grieving process, and develop strategies to help you move forward. Grief is the unique combination of thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviors that occur after a loss. Loss can include the death of a person, a beloved pet, or other types, like the loss of a relationship or a loss of health.
Perinatal Mental Health Counseling
Did you know that 1 in 5 Moms and Birthing Parents experience Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders? The perinatal journey can be beautiful, life changing, hard, and so much more. That journey can also experience additional complications like health scares, traumatic birth experiences, “near misses”, and others. Partner relationships can also become strained during the perinatal period and while we don’t offer couples counseling at Prickly Pear Counseling, relationship health can still be discussed and supported through individual counseling. As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider (PMH-C), Katie is equipped to assist you with these challenges. If you have questions or concerns about your mental health and you are pregnant or postpartum, you are not alone. Please reach out to schedule a consult to see how we can help.
