INDIVIDUAL & GROUP THERAPY

When life brings us different challenges, our unique backgrounds, upbringings, cultural beliefs, and experiences can often determine how we respond to them. During times when life throws up a detour, some know how to navigate through, while others may struggle. Individual therapy will offer you a safe environment to dedicate this time to yourself.

At DST, we think of individual therapy as a partnership where I’ll provide you with specialized support. We are committed to working with you to develop healthy habits and healthier thinking patterns that help you make the best decisions for yourself and identify goals that empower you to continue prioritizing.

Group therapy provides you with a sense of belonging or relatability through understanding, which is most effective by hearing shared common experiences. Ultimately, group therapy is most effective when utilized to address a specific concern common to all members of the group.

DST also provides holistic therapy that infuses, (the release) through Yoga and Meditation with brief therapy practices (the reset and restore) for a total body wellness experience. Each session is tailored to address your specific needs. Our body carries the stresses of life and you need to release it, while addressing any personal struggles that takes up headspace to reset for balance and healing.

Every teenager is unique and, in retrospect similar, as they want to be heard and not judged for sharing their perspective. Teenagers are experiencing higher levels of anxiety and grief and loss, disappointment, and depressed feelings that are compounded by uncertainty about the future. These feelings are often buried internally or outwardly expressed, and that’s where adolescent counseling is time to acknowledge experiences and feelings and learn what works best for you.

At DST, we will commit to helping your teenager learn the background of their behavior, build confidence, learn life skills and adopt healthy habits that can carry them into young adulthood. Teen therapy can also be pivotal in resolving many common problems, including substance abuse, family conflict, bullying, peer pressure, and school avoidance. Adolescent counseling can help your family restore and renew your relationship.

LGBTQ+ live a unique environment of increased harassment, microaggression, and collective trauma. You may struggle to hear and see your existence as being valued rather than devalued, causing pain and suffering. You may just be in a web of indecisiveness regarding your direction in life.

At Divine Shyne Therapy, we understand the complexities and mental health, and I know that you deserve customized treatment that will aid in the healing process resulting in healthier thinking patterns. Addressing your feelings will leave you feeling better internally, and those positive vibes will radiate outwardly and positively affect your relationships and simultaneously touch all areas of your life.

Counseling for families involves many layers of issues that can disrupt families, and this causes division, as this could pertain to addressing financial hardship to moving on from the death of a parent, child, or close relative. If there are mental health concerns for one or multiple family members, therapy can provide that needed relief and support that helps both the affected individual and their loved ones find those positive solutions.

At Divine Shyne Therapy, every individual is valued, respected, and recognized as an important part of the family unit, but sometimes, it can be difficult to understand how each role should function. The ultimate goal is that we want to bring about unified understanding and appreciation for each other that improves communication, reduces conflict, builds trust, and most importantly, respecting each other creates harmony and healthy connection.

Walter Winchell once wrote that in a marriage or relationship, one must be “never above you, never below you, always beside you.”

Never above you, never below you, always beside you. So many couples find themselves projecting their own past unresolved trauma from unhealthy relationships or uncertainty of healthy versus unhealthy behaviors. When this occurs, insecurities, jealousy, and fear hinder the relationship from developing and thriving.

At DST, our goal for marriage and couples counseling is not to point fingers or blame; instead, I will work with you both to help each reconnect with one another, work together as a team to solve problems, and learn how to take ownership of their feelings without creating distance between or acting out only in ways that promote wellness and healing.
