We believe that one of the most neglected group of people for receiving counseling services is people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These folk, however, struggle with the same things that neurotypical people struggle with, things like grief, depression, and anxiety. It’s been our experience that these individuals are receptive and are eager to take advantage of counseling. Our primary goal is to develop a relationship and then join them in their struggles and utilize a coaching strategy that helps them solve their problems and have meaningful lives.

People with disabilities are just that, people with disabilities, and are not their disability. They are people with hopes and dreams, and people with the desire to live happy and meaningful lives. We help them meet those goals through our services.

I love developing relationships with our clients and have found this to be one of the more meaningful things that I’ve done throughout my career. It isn’t just “doing therapy,” it’s developing a partnership with another individual, and benefiting from that relationship. I get as much out of these relationships as I hope my clients get.
