About Creating Connections Counseling

Making the right choice for yourself…

Our modern schedules are extremely busy.

Fitting any new activity into our schedules can be extremely difficult, but you are finding time for therapy because you know something is off.

You have not been able to fix “it” through your usual means (e.g., telling friends, Google search, testing coworkers’ thoughts, even asking strangers!).

You know you need help from someone who can offer a different perspective and help to clarify understanding.

It’s time to check in with yourself…

… slow down in a reflective way, and ask, “What do I need?”

We can incorporate our experience to help you figure out what you want and what needs to be done to get there. Many people have benefitted from our approach.

Working with individuals and couples that are struggling with issues in their relationship has been extremely rewarding and a way to understand how and why people get stuck.

Our love relationship is ideally the safest place we have. We create opportunities for growth.

The most common place people struggle in relationships is with communication. There are several reasons why this is true for most of us. The most common way we see communication go sideways is how the message is delivered and received.

A nonjudgmental and collaborative process…

We provide you with a professional, clean, and safe environment conveniently located in Roseville. Our offices are on the first floor right by the main entrance to the office building. Enjoy our meditative spa music and a cup of relaxing tea in our private waiting room before your sessions. Your therapist will greet you in our waiting room and bring you back to their private and spacious office where your session will begin. Online sessions are also available.

During our first session, we will establish a mutual understanding of what you hope to gain from the therapy process. We have a direct and kind approach. We provide the space and time for clarity of thought. The office is free of distractions and a clean space for you to be present to receive help.

We provide a nonjudgmental and collaborative environment by seeking perspective from all sides and encouraging questions to gain understanding. We can only be honest with ourselves after we know our Truth.

You want changes in your life and relationships…

Regardless of your needs, issue or circumstances, our goal is to help you…

… build the skills you need to become more connected, resilient, and compassionate toward yourself and others,

… manage your thoughts, feelings, and actions with emotional clarity,

… break down the destructive connections to beliefs or thoughts that are holding you back,

… discover new connections to help you feel confident and secure,

… address old or new trauma, grief, societal pressure, relationship changes, addictions, etc. to help you create deeper connections within yourself and with others, and

… trust yourself to identify and make positive choices that align with your values and life goals.

Our work together may be short-term; but the skills, insights, and tools you learn in therapy are life-changing and long-lasting.

Your therapy will be as unique as you are.

Our team is trained in a variety of proven behavioral and therapeutic techniques and practices.

We customize our therapy so that it works for you. Our approach is taking each person as the individual where they are and exploring together where, why, and how they got stuck. We help you find the way back to feeling grounded and confident in the choices you make moving forward.

Internal Family Systems is the foundation for the work we do. We believe that each person has a core self that is grounded and centered. We also have parts of ourselves that need to be acknowledged, witnessed, relieved of trauma from the past, and validated by us. We will invite you to get to know your issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, relationships) through a new understanding of why your issues have been working so hard for you. We explore ways for issues to have a new job, so they do not have to be so intense or cause you stress. Acceptance is the objective to self-love.

We help you work on your present…

… and help you understand how your past may be affecting you.

We can help identify when there is trauma from childhood and how that is affecting your current relationships.

Having a better understanding of your past and present is fundamental to moving into your future. Understanding how you feel in your body can give you much insight into your thoughts and behaviors. We teach you how to pay attention and notice what you are feeling.

We take time to explore how some of your behaviors are creating unhealthy patterns in your life and target actions to track negative thoughts and communications. Has it become your habit to look for the negative? We can help you see there is another side.

Let’s connect! It’s time for you to take care of you!

We understand that asking for help can be overwhelming. We also know it is often the only way to make the changes we desperately need. We cannot see ourselves very well and a new perspective can make all the difference.

If you are unclear about what you want, we can help you create a roadmap to find your truth.
