"Courage doesn’t happen when you
have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions
you have been avoiding your whole life.”

Individual Sex & Intimacy Counseling
45 to 50-minute Session
Sex is a sensitive subject and isn’t
one that even most counselors are comfortable talking about, struggling with sexual dysfunction and intimacy can be isolating and embarrassing; therefore, it is especially important
to create a safe, understanding, and professional space to address
these issues.
We believe in using a unique blend of attachment informed approaches, psychoeducation, cognitive
behavioral and solution focused interventions, bonding exercises,
and coaching to help clients understand and address the cause
of their sexual issue.
Couples Counseling
45 to 50-minute Session
Relationships are difficult that’s for sure, but couples experience a unique and sometimes overwhelming blend of issues related to sex, finances, parenting, their families of origin, health, career and more. It can be a challenge to identify the root cause of a couple’s problems on their own; therefore, we believe in using a unique blend of attachment informed approaches, psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral and solution focused interventions, bonding activities, and coaching to help couples identify, understand, and address the real issues that are impeding their relationship.
Sometimes busy schedules can make addressing couples issues difficult; however, our online option allows both partners access to quality couples counseling regardless of differing locations or schedules.
Life After Weight Loss Psychotherapy - Individual
50-minute Session
Extreme weight loss is a major and often highly traumatic life transition. Do you ever feel like you were duped and fell for all that jazz about “if you just lose weight everything will be better”? Everything isn’t better is it? Unfortunately, there is a ton of research and support for people considering weight loss surgery or who desire to lose weight but there is little support, preparation, or education on what life is really like after the scale reaches those goal numbers.
Maybe your body doesn’t look at all like you thought it would, your life is falling apart, you’ve lost friends due to jealously, you are suddenly really unhappy in your marriage, you are struggling with eating disordered symptoms, you don’t know who you are anymore and live in fear of “going back”…. If any of those sound familiar, you are not alone; there are others out there who share these struggles and feel misunderstood, isolated, and alone.
Based on years of research, counseling clients, and personal experience BlueFlame has developed a program that utilizes a combination of psychoeducation, psychotherapy, coaching, and support groups to assist people like you in finding balance again or maybe even for the first time after extreme weight loss.
EMDR
60-minute Session
Do you ever feel like you get thrown back in time over and over again, like you just can't get past the past? You might experience uncomfortable body sensations or react to present time situations as if you were back in that abusive relationship all over again, even though you aren’t. What you are experiencing is what we call a trauma trigger. Your brain and your body remember everything that has ever happened to them and until you are able to successfully work through and get past your past you will continue to be held captive by hurtful memories and experiences.
EMDR is a research based, empirically supported trauma informed therapy intervention that has been shown to significantly improve PTSD and trauma symptoms for a variety of client trauma issues including sexual victimization and abuse, natural disasters, grief and loss, physical trauma, divorce, war trauma and more. If you desire to cut to the chase and find out what life is like without living in fear, on edge, or just waiting for the other shoe to drop this is the therapy format for you.
Adult Psychotherapy
45 to 50-minute Session
Everyone suffers from occasional anxiety and depression symptoms; however, sometimes those struggles become problematic and negatively impact daily life and relationships.
Whether you are suffering from symptoms of anxiety, depression, family issues, career transition, grief and loss, relationship problems, body and eating issues, the inability to cope with problems, time management, emotional regulation, lack of motivation, an inability to reach your interpersonal life goals, low self-esteem or any other emotional struggle, counseling may be just what you need.

Active (Walk & Talk) Psychotherapy
45 to 50-minute Session
Ever dreamed about taking your therapist to the gym or on that long afternoon walk with you where you find yourself the most focused and able to process through your problems? Now you can! There is more than one reason to consider pairing exercise with therapy. Research shows that incorporating the bi-lateral movement of exercise into the counseling process leads to increased success in counseling.
Bi-lateral movement activates certain brain processes that can help information process more quickly and efficiently than just sitting still. BlueFlame believes in meeting a client where they are, which includes their favorite hiking trail, park, private gym etc.; when choosing a location for active therapy, a client must keep in mind distance and time, and for online services the need for internet connectivity and confidentiality. This method is meant to be paired with individual traditional psychotherapy and is not appropriate for EMDR, sex therapy, or couples counseling.
