Kathy Pardue, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor

    Thank you for reaching out to talk about your concerns.  I've worked with couples, women's issues, and adolescents for 24 yrs. to help find peace, stability, and new options for unresolved problems.  

      Edith Stein said, "A woman's soul is a shelter in which other souls may unfold."  The truth will set us free, and healing happens as we feel heard, understood, and learn to identify automatic thoughts affecting our feelings and behavior.  Some thoughts may be based on false ideas keeping us in negative emotions and, therefore, negative behaviors.    

     Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has shown to be the most effective approach and aligns with Christian principles.  Mild to moderate depression and anxiety can often be helped without medication using CBT.  

    Our sessions are compassionate, interactive, and solution-focused with a deep respect for your history and personality.  We generate solutions for encouragement and motivation to change.   

      Teens and young adult years are the most stressful in balancing hormonal, physical, emotional, and social changes.  Individual therapy provides a place of trust to talk freely, and parents are included in sessions to help with goals as desired.  Loneliness has caused the present crisis of an "age of melancholy."

     Couples can restore emotional and sexual intimacy when resentment is healed and communication is safe.  Emotionally-focused Therapy (EFT) helps both to feel heard and understood thru a habit of validating before giving a defensive response.  We are all the wounded and the wounder, so the blame game stops and arguments slow down using this approach.  You can get the love back...
