Men
Men struggle with many issues but often we keep it all inside. We are told to “man up” or “be a man” – which usually means denying that we have feelings, needs and a desire for connection. So men’s problems often manifest as numbness, depression or anger. These tend to mask deeper hurts and sadness.
Couples
Being with a partner can be wonderful and it can be challenging. We work with couples to help them identify and shift the negative patterns at play in their relationship. Working together, we attempt to bring good communication, emotional engagement, acceptance, and love into the relationship.
Ketamine
An exciting development in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and trauma is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Many people find healing by working with ketamine in conjunction with a therapist. KAP is proving to be effective and safe.
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke

At XY Counseling we offer Psychotherapy and Counseling via secure online sessions ONLY – we are NOT offering in person sessions at this time. We work primarily with adults and couples, helping them to live more fulfilled, connected lives.
Often what brings someone to seek therapy is a chronic issue that has reached a crisis point: anger, depression, anxiety, self-worth, intimacy problems, communication issues and many more. Sometimes it is a recent change in one’s life: infidelity, a move, or the end of a relationship. Taking the risk to ask for help is often the first step on the road towards healing and growth.
You might find we’re not traditional therapists. Sure, you’ll hear “how does that make you feel?” sometimes. And we want to know about your past. But we try to focus on giving you practical tools you can use today. We believe in the healing power of creativity, mindfulness, laughter, embodiment, and connection.
Finding a therapist you are comfortable with is important. We offer a free 20-minute video consultation to help you in this process. During this consultation we will explore what it would mean to work together, if it would be a good fit, pricing, and any other questions you might have.
