Individual and Couples Therapy
Welcome to Layres Counseling! I am so happy that you are here! I know that deciding to try therapy and reaching out can be a difficult decision, so I appreciate your time. I have been in practice for more than 10 years and I have found that there is nothing more important than relationship. Relationships can either discourage or encourage us, build us up or tear us down. That’s why I feel it’s essential to find the right person to support and counsel you. Someone you can trust. Someone that you can be honest with and know that you won’t be judged. Someone to accept you where you are!
I take that responsibility very seriously. Not only is it critical to find someone with whom you can be vulnerable, but someone who is also willing to be vulnerable with you. I want you to know that I am right there with you. I’m not perfect and have not arrived. Like you, I am also in the process of growing, maturing, and learning how to be a healthier individual.
With that said, I do have a personal relationship with Christ and can incorporate a biblical perspective in conjunction with traditional therapies, if you so desire. I feel that my Christian beliefs only enhance the effectiveness of traditional therapies. I do practice out of an eclectic approach. Some therapies I am trained in and utilize include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
