Service Description
At Innova Counseling Services we provide an array of counseling services. We like to call it a multi-modal approach (many ways) and the purpose of it is to reach the individual needs, personalities, and thought processes of each of our clients.
Children (Ages 8-11)
Children need time to trust before opening up parts of themselves that hurt. Some approaches I use include: playing games, art therapy; play therapy; sand trays; and behavior therapy. The goal is to gently earn their trust to be able to explore their thoughts.
Adolescents 12-18
For adolescents, approaches such as sand trays, art therapy, games, music therapy, and engagement through other activities opens up the communication between therapist and client. Teens carry much on their minds and at times they need help coping with what they carry inside.
Adults (18 and up)
For adults I include some assessments such as: lifestyle assessments; ACE score; and other depending on what we are wanting to treat. I use EMDR for trauma and PTSD, and any other approach I esteem will help my client.
Couple's Therapy
In Couples therapy the goal is to understand each other better, identify blocks in the relationships, and learning new ways to relate. At times, the two individuals will have personal goals to work on as well as couple goals.
The preferred method is the Gottman Method.
Parenting & Managing Developmental Challenges

Children experiencing academic challenges also face emotional turmoil. As a parent understanding how to help a child, understand the school systems, or knowing how to advocate for a child.
