At Riverview Counseling, we offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and family. Our services include:

• Individual Therapy: We provide individual therapy for people of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults. Our approach is individualized, taking into account each client's specific concerns, background, and goals. We work collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans that address issues such as anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem.
• Couples Therapy: We specialize in helping couples navigate the complexities of their relationships. Utilizing evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we guide couples in improving communication, resolving conflicts, strengthening intimacy, and fostering a deeper understanding of each other.
• Family Therapy: Recognizing the importance of family dynamics, we offer family therapy to address a wide range of concerns. These might include communication breakdowns, parenting challenges, blended family issues, grief and loss, and navigating family transitions. Our goal is to strengthen family bonds, improve communication patterns, and create a more harmonious and supportive home environment.

• Grief Counseling: We understand the profound impact of loss and are dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals, families, and communities grappling with grief. We offer individual and group counseling to help individuals process their grief, find meaning in their loss, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Our specialized training in Thanatology and experience working with the Center for Grieving Children equip us to provide sensitive and effective support for those experiencing various types of loss, including the loss of a loved one to suicide, homicide, or natural causes.
• Consultation and Training:

In addition to our direct counseling services, we offer consultation and training to other professionals. We work with schools, community organizations, and healthcare providers to enhance their understanding of mental health issues, grief and loss, and trauma-informed care.
