Individual & Couple Counseling

What are individual and couples counseling?

Individual and couples counseling are talk therapy services that focus on improving your relationship with yourself and your partner. Counseling can help you work through communication problems, resolve conflicts, navigate infidelity, and manage stress in your life. 

At Integrated Counseling and Wellness, licensed counselor Brady provides one-on-one counseling and couples counseling. You can take advantage of therapy on your own or as a complement to counseling with your partner.
