Individual Therapy
Life can be challenging, and if you’re struggling with persistent worries, feelings of sadness, or adjusting to major life changes, therapy might be the right step for you. At Andover Family Counseling, we offer a welcoming environment where you can relax with a cup of coffee while working towards a brighter future.
Our experienced therapists will collaborate with you to create a personalized plan for overcoming your difficulties. The practical tools provided in therapy are designed to be integrated into your daily life. Whether you’re a successful professional facing work-related stress, someone experiencing personal challenges, or dealing with past trauma, we’re here to support you.
Couples Therapy
Is your relationship facing challenges or feeling distant? You’re not alone—many people experience these feelings but hesitate to seek help. If you and your partner want to build a more fulfilling relationship but aren’t sure where to begin, relationship counseling can guide you in taking that crucial first step.
Therapy can also be beneficial even when things are going well. Many couples use counseling as a proactive measure to enhance communication, prepare for marriage, or address financial matters, among other things. Contact Andover Family Counseling to see how Couples Counseling might benefit you.
Child & adolescent therapy
Children often experience intense emotions like anger, sadness, and grief but may lack the cognitive skills to fully understand or express these feelings, leading to disruptions at home, school, or daycare. Play therapy is a proven approach that helps children address and navigate these challenges.
A trained play therapist connects with your child from their perspective, allowing them to lead the play. This process helps us understand and identify what your child is going through and provides both you and your child with valuable tools to navigate these difficulties.
Additionally, we have multiple skilled therapists at Andover Family Counseling who specialize in working with adolescents. Our Registered Play Therapist and adolescent experts can guide you through every step of the therapy journey, supporting your child’s growth, healing, and well-being
EMDR
What is EMDR Therapy?
According to EMDRIA, “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a well-researched and effective psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.”
How does EMDR work?
EMDR utilizes a technique called bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess and resolve trapped memories, resuming normal information processing. This method is not hypnosis but is used by therapists to assist clients in addressing negative beliefs and experiences. For a more detailed explanation, please visit the EMDR Institute, Inc.
EMDR has been shown to be beneficial for treating conditions such as:
- PTSD
- Panic Attacks
- Complicated Grief
- Dissociative Disorders
- Disturbing Memories
- Phobias
- Pain Disorders
- Performance Anxiety
- Addictions
- Stress Reduction
- Sexual and/or Physical Abuse
- Body Dysmorphic Disorders
- Personality Disorders
Contact us to find out if EMDR could help you overcome what’s holding you back.
