As concerns for our health and safety have extended for months now, we at Trinity have found that for many of our clients, telehealth sessions have been every bit as effective and helpful as in-person sessions.  In fact, many of our clients have requested we continue with telehealth—even after we can meet back in our center safely!

As the months have gone by, many on our staff have now had the experience of beginning with a new client, doing the work and reaching their goals, and ending the therapeutic relationship—all without having ever met our client in person!

As cases once again spike in our area, we ask for your continued patience—and your willingness to do things a bit differently—as we continue to prioritize the health of our clients, ourselves, and our families.

Trinity Family Counseling Center offers services to individuals, couples, and families of all walks of faith. Our team of experienced counseling professionals is skilled across a wide range of client problems and issues. Each one of us has a heart for providing support, guidance, and education relevant to our client’s needs in a safe and private atmosphere.
 

We understand that the decision to reach out for help from a professional counselor can often be a scary one. During your initial phone consultation, you will be asked a few questions to allow us to clearly understand your expressed needs, and provide you with information to better inform your decision to seek counseling services at Trinity.
 
Each member of our staff offers their unique approach to the many challenges that bring our clients into the counseling center. We have also written a number of blogs and articles based on our areas of expertise and interests. We invite you to visit our individual bio pages and thoroughly explore our website to discover how we may be able to help YOU.

The Counseling Process:

Picture
It takes a lot of courage to admit that the problems you are attempting to manage have reached a point where you feel you can no longer figure it out alone. Seeking the help of a professional counselor is a big step for many people. The counselors at Trinity understand these hesitations. Whether you have prior experience in a counseling relationship, or this is your first time to make that call, there are questions that may inhibit your willingness to seek help. The articles included in this section will hopefully answer some of those questions.
 
Please consider giving us a call to discuss your needs and the counseling process in greater detail. Our counselors are ready and willing to assist you in determining how we might best be able to help.
