Juniper
The Juniper tree grips the earth and grows, year after year in some of the most inhospitable places. Shaped by the wind and sun, the Junipers trunks become beautiful, enduring sculptures.

The Juniper Center

Women’s issues -  Including feeling overwhelmed, tired, disconnected from your own needs, workplace issues of managing power, and ways women are socialized to care for others even at their own expense, to name a few.

Individual Counseling - You will meet individually with a counselor and assess together what are the nature of your concerns and how to best address them. Issues of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship issues, issues of sexuality, or other issues that effect the quality of your life will be addressed.

Couple's Counseling - A counselor meets with both parts of the couple to determine the best course of treatment. Issues regarding parenting, sex, money, balancing home and work, infidelity or other issues that effect the quality of your relationship will be addressed. The couple need not be in a romantic relationship. We will assist friends in working through impasses or any other pair of people who would like to improve their relationship.

Family Counseling - A counselor will meet with as many members of your family as you and they deem appropriate to best address your concerns. We will develop a course of treatment and work toward improving the well being of each family member as well as the well being of the family as a whole.

Group Counseling - We are in the process of developing several group therapy offerings and will post these as soon as we are able.

These are what we treat most, but all of our clinicians have training in treating a wide variety of conditions and concerns.

We are also available to speak to groups of any size regarding issues of mental health and relationship satisfaction.
