Bob believes that when people take responsibility for themselves, they open the door to all other change. His expertise includes working with individuals dealing with sex and relationship problems, as well as the trauma that underlies the person's inability to trust themselves and to connect with others in a healthy way. Bob also offers help for people struggling with issues around work and money.

By helping people differentiate between what they can control and the unhealthy patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that no longer serve them, Bob helps people cultivate happiness from within and take charge of their lives. As they learn how to solve their problems from a place of power, they are able to create a better, more fulfilling life for themselves.

Cheryl offers a safe space in which people have the freedom to open at their own pace, thus cultivating a healthy therapeutic relationship to support change and healing. As they reveal what's not working in their lives and relationships, Cheryl selects the best motivational therapeutic approach to help them effectively address these challenges. Her guidance, while compassionate, is also honest and direct, so individuals take responsibility for establishing and maintaining their emotional well-being. Doing so helps to reduce the impact of long-term psychological distress in their lives.
 
Adults struggling with relationship issues, Internet addiction, sex addiction, and co-occurring mental health issues including trauma and alcohol and drug addiction can benefit from individual counseling with Cheryl. She also facilitates 30 Tasks of Recovery groups.
 
Retirement is a significant transition that often fuels stress because it's no longer possible to hide unhealthy behaviors behind one’s work. Cheryl helps people in this stage of life address what stands in the way of enjoying a full life and healthy relationships. She also accepts Medicare, putting therapy within reach for seniors.

Being vulnerable and having boundaries with your partner is cathartic. Always having a mask on or your walls up is exhausting. Working with Rose allows you to open again to each other and a fuller life by safely addressing and healing the disconnects in your relationship to build a healthy, nurturing connection and a brighter future.
 
Rose can help you figure out the map to move past the patterns and behaviors that no longer serve your growth. Her approach is to gently guide you through the emotions and work with you to identify their source, often rooted in family-of-origin experiences. With a background in family therapy, she creates a safe space to find the language to talk about issues like infidelity and trauma without judgment.
 
Before Kavod, Rose helped families and adolescents with challenging relationships develop and use skills and strategies to confront their problems constructively. She also counseled on unsatisfactory relationships, divorce and separation, child rearing, home management, and financial difficulties.

When addiction is present in a family, its effects are not only felt by the addict, they also have a profound and traumatic impact on the entire family system. Kate believes that for true healing to begin, all family members must be involved in the recovery process.

Kate began her career as a family counselor for teenagers and their parents struggling with chemical addictions. She continues this work today by providing couples counseling, family education, codependency counseling, and support for the entire family system.
