This is Our Heart

CARE, Inc. counselors approach relationships from an ATTACHMENT perspective.  Attachment is all about mutual, reciprocal NEED meeting.  Whoever meets the NEED of another person is who that person will trust and develop a healthy attachment with, and therefore, healthy boundaries are also necessary and needed. 

CARE, Inc. counselors see ALL behavior as functional for a person’s decision making processes.  All behavior is chosen for some reason, some function, whether consciously or subconsciously.  Therefore, all decisions that a person makes MUST “make sense” in some way, fashion, or form.  CARE, Inc. counselors attempt to help the client “make sense” of their choices and develop more adaptive responses, as well as develop an adaptive narrative, a necessity for healthy living and life. 

CARE, Inc. counselors attempt to EMPATHICALLY understand a client’s narrative (get enough of the client’s personal history and story), facilitate the client developing an adaptive narrative (story) for the client’s life, and then empower and resource the client with tools to meet the need(s) and/or coping mechanisms adaptively for the client’s current situation.  A client always comes FOR counseling because their current NARRATIVE is maladaptive – isn’t working for that person - and that person needs to develop an adaptive narrative to move positively into their personal future! 

The fact that a person’s behavioral choices DON’T make sense to them, (and sometimes for others that they’re in a relationship with!), is what drives many clients to attempt to find some reason, understanding, and/or meaning to their seemingly, haphazard, random, and nonsensical choices!  A client’s emotional/psychological “pain level” typically must exceed 80% of the client’s capacity before a client will seek assistance or help for their mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, relational, and/or psychological pain.  Current pain must become unbearable before help is often sought. 

CARE, Inc. offers counseling in individual, couples, marriage, family, and group counseling formats or modalities.  CARE, Inc. accepts most healthcare insurance plans, Employee Assistance Plans (EAPs), HSA cards, credit, debit, check, or cash private pay for payment for services.  Payment for services is expected at the time of service.
