Welcome To Innovative Counseling, LLC

I’d like to invite you to contemplate on the following questions.

At times life can be very challenging… It may feel like you can’t catch a break, fighting multiple fronts, nothing is working, you feel emotionally defeated and exhausted. Sometimes, you just want to give up but deep inside a voice tells you YOU CAN’T, you simply can’t give up. That’s why you’re here. I want you to know two things: You are not alone and we are here to help. We’ve been helping clients on problems like this for over 12 years.

I know how difficult it can be taking that first step and reach out for help. However, don’t let doubt stop you. In our practice, we use an eclectic approach of evidence-based modalities and holistic perspectives as everything is interconnected. You will be treated by highly ethical, professional and experienced practitioners. We will discuss practical tools and immediately start tackling the problem so you can start seeing changes as quickly as possible.

Individual Counseling

Are you tired of struggling with the same issues every single day?

Do you ever have to make a huge deal of effort to feel positive about your life? Are you going through emotional burnout?


Heartache, loss, grief, loneliness, anxiety, and depression – it can be difficult and overwhelming to experience these emotions.

couple

Couples Counseling

Do you find yourself in an unfulfilled relationship or marriage?

Are you getting into fights and arguments every single week?


It’s not uncommon for people to struggle in their relationships, especially since they haven’t been provided with the right tools and techniques that foster long-term relationships.

family

Family Counseling

Everyone experiences difficulties when it comes to families.

You might be going through marital or financial problems or a conflict with your children or parents.


Family therapy is when a family member sits together in a group to work through certain challenges. This form of therapy focuses on and targets family dynamics and interactions.

life

Life Coaching

Modern life might be full of conveniences, but it also has significant stresses.

Whether you’re worried about the increasing workload at your job or feel stuck in life


A life coach will help you with pragmatic tools to maximize your potential. Everyone has goals they want to achieve.

trauma

EMDR Therapy

Facing the demands and challenges of life can be overwhelming, especially when you’ve recently experienced a traumatic event.


This is why Innovative Counseling LLC provides leading-edge psychotherapy modalities best suited for trauma survivors and the holistic healing of their minds and bodies. We offer high-quality mental health care with EMDR therapy and help our clients overcome PTSD by helping them release painful memories intertwined with trauma.

hypnosis

Hypnotherapy

Are you someone who’s feeling like they’re stuck in a rut?

Have you been through a certain traumatic event that leads to depression and debilitating anxiety?


Suppressed emotions and feelings can often cause a disconnect between the mind and the body. It can also lead to many serious mental health concerns like anger issues, depression, frustration, and even sleep-related issues like insomnia.

Telehealth

Research have shown that telehealth is as effective as in-person counseling. You will not miss any body language given the fact that most body language is expressed through the face.

All of our sessions are through Telehealth which is a face-to-face, live video communication platform that is secure and HIPAA compliant. You will still get the same quality of service as in-person-counseling, but from the comfort of your home or wherever you are; therefore, ideal for busy people.

Now, you no longer need to waste time driving, rushing in traffic, finding parking, and spending money on gas. You don’t need to sit in a waiting room feeling awkward in front of people. All you need is an internet connection, find a place where you feel comfortable and enjoy a wonderful counseling session. Isn’t that awesome?

We invite you to contact us by submitting an inquiry or contacting us on the phone. We are here to help!
