Mission Statement

counseling

Patricia Kapphahn, M.S., L.P.C. • Paul Kapphahn, Ph.D.

Charter of the Center for Counseling Services

  We believe that life was meant to be enjoyed, not just endured.
  We believe that problems are challenges that we can overcome.
  Every challenge is an opportunity to learn something.
  Therapy can be a way of dealing positively with life's challenges and experiencing a healing in the process.
  We believe in brief, solution-oriented therapy guided by meeting the needs of each individual client.
  Honesty, openness, and the willingness to change are important elements in the therapeutic process.
  As a licensed, professional staff we are dedicated to helping all learn the art of happiness.

Healing Relationships

  At the Center we believe in healing the mind, body and spirit.
  We emphasize strengths and solutions rather than problems.
  We offer clear, concrete, detailed guidelines for change.
  Coaching is a powerful technique we often use with couples.
  You don't have to have a bad relationship to want a better, more satisfying one. We want to help you make that dream come true.
  Rather than becoming stuck in blame or analysis (as in some traditional therapy) we believe in helping couples move toward solutions and break destructive behavior patterns.
  We don't require or need both partners to do couples therapy. We have developed a system that can produce positive change with only one person in therapy. If you want a better relationship with your partner and are willing to make changes you can significantly turn things around. If your partner does not choose to come to therapy, you can make a difference by coming to therapy alone.
  We use "uncommon-sense" methods for breaking unproductive behavior patterns.
  Interactions in relationships are habits developed over the years. Sometimes minor changes in just one partner's behavior can lead to major improvements in the relationship.
  Change doesn't have to be complicated (as some may believe).
  A program of wellness and stress management is available for creating and maintaining health and balance in your life.
  Expand your ability to live full and joyfully!
  Learn mind-body methods designed to cultivate inner peace, serenity, self esteem, and relive anxiety and depression.
