HOW CAN BE KIND COUNSELING HELP?
At Be Kind Counseling you are first greeted with, you guessed it, KINDNESS! Sometimes all we need is a little kindness, understanding, and compassion to feel heard. Collectively, we have over 40 years experience in the field and hope to be able to provide that support for you individually, your child, and/or your family.
What can we do?
We are a one stop shop as we offer individual, family, and couples therapy. We also provide substance use evaluations, and co-occurring evaluations (insurance is not accepted for these two evaluations).
Our Training
All of our mental health practitioners have advanced degrees in their field, and have undergone rigorous licensing. They have training and experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, personality disorders, relational issues, autism spectrum, behavioral issues, life adjustments, substance use, and more.
Our practitioners are trained in multiple evidence-based treatments including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Circle of Security-Parenting (COS-P), Play and Sand Tray Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).
