Marital Counseling

Knowing how to start getting help with your marriage can be difficult. At Life Dimensions Counseling, we pride ourselves on providing couples with quality, research-based marriage counseling to begin repairing and reconnecting. Our priority is to help you get back on the path of repairing a healthy and happy relationship. Together, we will emphasize communication and strengthen the positive aspects the relationship may be missing. Whatever your needs, Life Dimensions will adapt to find the best approach for your circumstances.

How We Approach Counseling

Life Dimensions, Inc. believes that the quality of our relationships determine the quality of our lives. For over 30 years, we have been integrating spirituality, theology and psychotherapy in our clinical practice with couples, individuals and families.

pastoral counseling
Pastoral Counseling

This approach integrates spirituality and theology with research-based clinical practices. We offer a holistic approach to health and healing, taking one's spirit into consideration alongside mind and body. People, who want to honor their faith tradition, will incorporate their spiritual practices or work to heal from some hurtful religious-based experiences from this method.

family systems
Family Systems

We use the metaphor of a mobile, the kind you put over a baby’s crib, to describe how family systems work. You move one part, and the entire thing is affected. Each individual is influenced by their family, workplace, community, culture, etc. Every person has an influence on the whole (family, work, society, and culture).  Life Dimensions helps individuals, couples, and entire families see how their interactions help or hurt one another and, more importantly, what they can do to make their relationships stronger and healthier.

cognitive behavorial
Cognitive-Behavorial

This approach is solution-focused and more short-term with oftentimes measurable results. It is more “here and now.” What do you need to think and do differently to get the results you want? For example, some suffering from depression will have negative thoughts that adversely affect their lives. By helping them rethink some of these thoughts, they will respond more effectively to loved ones, their work situation, their enjoyment of life, etc. To know better (a different way of thinking and feeling) leads to doing better (behaviors).

developmental
Developmental

Counseling is effective at any stage in an individual's life, and it is never too early to seek guidance. That can be when they are a certain age, they are changing from one stage of life to another. For instance, in the transition from being single to getting married, a major life change is occurring, as with job loss, retirement, menopause, etc. Each stage holds the capability of crisis and stress, which is experienced as a problem. Life Dimensions helps people overcome and move through these crises, and help them see these major transitions as an opportunity for growth.

meaning-centered
Meaning-Centered

Viktor Frankl, a Viennese psychotherapist, wrote a famous book entitled Man's Search for Meaning. It is his gripping story of surviving in a concentration camp and how he found meaning in suffering resulting in his theory and practice of logotherapy. Logotherapy helps the individual make sense of life in spite of tragedy. Life Dimensions will help integrate this approach when helping individuals who struggle with the question of "Why?"

Anxiety Counseling Services

Anxiety is a normal reaction to important events, however, excessive anxiety can interfere with your daily life, and may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder. Life Dimensions is dedicated to offering you guidance and providing the confidence you need to change behavior patterns that take away from your life and focus. By identifying day-to-day stressors, you can begin taking the steps towards positive life changes, healing, and a healthier mind.

Comprehensive Divorce Counseling

There is no true formula to making divorce simple or painless - but professional support can help. The deterioration of marriage usually occurs long before the actual divorce proceedings, and the emotional damage can impact your life long after the decision is made. Life Dimensions can help you manage your emotions throughout the process and emerge stronger in the end. If you need support through this challenging process, call now for a consultation.
