Individual Counseling

Connections Health counselors collaborate in a one-on-one relationship to deepen clients’ understanding and capacity to create change within their lives. Using a combination of insight-oriented, cognitive, and behavioral therapy approaches, clients embark on a journey of exploration, learning and growth.

Couples and Family Counseling

Connections Health supports clients in repairing, building and strengthening their romantic and family relationships. Counseling focuses on developing emotional awareness, communication and conflict resolution skills, and interpersonal effectiveness so clients can develop more closeness and fulfillment at any stage. Topics cover a range of issues, such as: sex and intimacy, premarital preparation, value differences, life stressors and transitions, infidelity, separation and divorce, and more.

Group Counseling

Group counseling allows clients to share concerns, receive support, and learn from each other while exploring a wide range of perspectives with other people facing similar challenges. Clients can gain self-awareness and skill-building, and benefit from the energy and connection a group environment brings. Group topics include: Trauma Support, Eating Disorder Recovery, Cultivating Resilience (Dealing with Stress), College Student Support, Queer Student Support, Building Social Confidence, and more.
