Therapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families

At First Response Therapy PLLC, we provide a supportive and compassionate space for individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life. Life can bring unexpected challenges, periods of stress, and times when it feels difficult to navigate relationships, work, or personal growth alone. Our clinicians are here to help you face these challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself and the people you care about.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy offers a space to process emotions, reflect on experiences, and explore patterns that may be holding you back. Many clients come seeking support for anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, or the lingering effects of past trauma. Others may feel “stuck” despite having things appear fine on the surface, or struggle with self-doubt, life transitions, or difficulty maintaining balance.

Our clinicians take a collaborative, personalized approach, tailoring strategies to meet each client’s goals and needs. Therapy can help you:

  • Develop coping skills for stress, anxiety, and depression

  • Process unresolved trauma and difficult experiences

  • Gain clarity around life transitions or major decisions

  • Build confidence, resilience, and self-understanding

We have particular experience supporting men who may be hesitant about therapy, helping those who feel pressure to “tough it out” or question whether therapy is for them. Our clinicians provide a safe, judgment-free environment where anyone can pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.

Couples Counseling

Relationships take work, and sometimes having a safe, supportive space to reconnect and grow can make all the difference. Our clinicians provide couples counseling to help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen their connection.

We support couples navigating:

  • Everyday stress and conflict

  • Communication challenges

  • Financial strain and life transitions

  • Parenting and co-parenting challenges

  • Past trauma that impacts the relationship

Therapy helps partners identify patterns, express needs effectively, and create strategies to maintain a strong, supportive relationship. Sessions provide a space to be heard, understood, and supported while learning skills that enhance connection and mutual understanding.

Family Therapy

Family therapy provides a safe space for families to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and navigate challenges together. Families may seek support for:

  • Parenting or co-parenting after separation

  • Managing stress or conflict within the household

  • Supporting children or adolescents struggling with emotional or behavioral challenges

  • Life transitions that impact the whole family

Our clinicians help families explore dynamics, build resilience, and develop practical strategies to foster healthy, connected relationships. Families learn tools for effective communication, problem-solving, and supporting each other through stress and change.
