Melissa VanBeck, M.S., offers psychotherapy and counseling services in Spokane, Washington.
In this climate of financial and employment insecurity people are facing unfamiliar stresses. You may feel anxious and depressed, or angry and powerless. You may be negotiating a divorce. You may be involved in an abusive relationship. I understand the strains people and relationships are under, and I appreciate your need for relief. You have strengths. I can help you identify and make the most of them.
Individual Counseling:
People decide to get counseling for various reasons. Usually they have been struggling with an issue or problem for quite some time before contacting a therapist. I recognize that clients want insights and solutions quickly. Although answers are rarely fast and easy, my focus is on results.
Couples Counseling:
While focusing on the growth of each partner, clients are encouraged to be true to themselves and tolerant and respectful of each other.
I teach practical communication and relationship skills that can bring couples to a better understanding of one another.
Clients can improve the quality of their relationships by:
- exploring the meaning of commitment in their lives;
- learning new ways of becoming more loving;
- viewing their relationships as on-going processes, requiring individual growth, unity of purpose, and acceptance of shared values;
- preparing for life-cycle transitions, such as child rearing, empty nesting, job loss and life after retirement;
- recapturing the spirit and passion that originally brought them together.
