Is CSi a Proper Fit for You?

We all experience the world differently, and some of us have an easier time than others. CSi offers services for adults, adolescents, children, couples, families and groups. When a child is in treatment with someone from our network, CSi will require the parent(s) to participate in their therapy process. Counseling Services shares referrals within our network of professionals, and we will do our best to help you find the right fit to work with your time schedule.

Therapy offers healing tools that help sort through complexities in your life and in relationships. When stress and conflicts turn into problems, it can cause debilitating symptoms such as anxiety and depression. If these symptoms are left untreated, it can impair the quality of your life and the relationships around you. Our therapeutic specialties include treatment for anxiety, depression, insomnia, relationships, grief and loss, learning differences, career and goal counseling, mental illness, and other related emotional challenges.

When marriages can not be repaired we offer divorce mediation as an alternative to costly court battles. When personal fitness becomes a collaborative issue in your emotional condition we can help guide you into a holistic mind and body approach with our expert fitness consultant.

Counseling Services

Individual counseling: Our one-on-one therapy sessions will help identify your obstacles and opportunities more clearly – and take decisions that bring you closer to the person you want to be and to the life you wish to live.

Counseling for Couples: Through private sessions, you and your partner can develop healthy ways to resolve any conflicts, find compassion, nurture one another and discover what you may need in your relationship.

Group counseling: With a group of your peers united by shared issues and/or goals, you can gain a sense of belonging — and learn to understand and grow in a supportive environment. Each group holds about four to six participants, plus the therapist who provides structure and direction. New groups and time schedules are formed based on demand. Please let us know if you are interested in participating in any groups.

Additional Services

Clinical Supervision: Who needs Supervision?

Clinical Supervision is available for professional counselors and social work students whom are seeking licensure eligibility.
Counselors and psychotherapists regardless of their experience need supervision. CSi recognizes supervision as an ethical imperative. If you are a coach, cleric, educator, physician, therapist, or other professional working with individuals who face mental health challenges, CSi is here to help supervise your cases. A client who encounters a therapist without supervision should probably consider carefully whether they wish to work with that therapist.

Mediation Services: How can Mediation help you?

The mediator does not represent any party but will help you work together to resolve the difficult situation. Choosing mediation over litigation will help you save your sanity, costs, protect your assets, resources and protect your children.
Mediators do not use complicated legal language. In mediation, the couple decides together on the details of the divorce. This allows for difficult decisions to be made, favorable for both parties, resolving disputes with a sense of dignity and fairness.
The mediator helps the spouses design a collaborative agreement for the future, and writes it out clearly. The mediator helps the couple fill out the necessary forms, which are presented for attorney and accountant reviews. The agreement becomes a guide for the whole family, allowing everyone involved to move on to new stage in their lives. The agreement covers finances and, if you have children, a parenting plan and child support. Lastly, the agreement and forms will be filed with the court’s clerk and the case will be set for a final hearing as an uncontested agreement for the dissolution of marriage.
