Talk Therapy

If you suffer with any form of mental affliction, or just need a confidential professional to vent to or bounce ideas off of, we here at Mind-Ops can help you! Treating a wide range of mental diagnoses from depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, or adjustment disorders to bi-polar, antisocial disorders, explosive anger disorders, or psychosis in its numerous forms and everything in between, Mind-Ops clinicians use best-practice and evidence-based models for treatment.  In addition to the treatment of mental afflictions, we also offer therapeutic services for couples and families using a systems approach. It is our belief that a person’s environment has a significant influence on the individual and vice versa, therefore we offer environmental reorganization to help support you in your change process.  As Eclectic and Holistic Therapists, we do not limit ourselves or our clients to any one mode of treatment.  Instead, we pull from the entire body of clinical research in the fields of Psychology, Social Work, Case Management, Spirituality and Sociology to find the most effective treatments to meet your specific and individualized needs.   Our Mind-Ops clinicians prefer to hold therapy sessions in immersive environments where the client’s target issues can be brought to the surface for immediate intervention and treatment.  We can hold session in your home, in a neutral office space, out in a natural open space, or during planned activities (walking, hiking, golfing, etc.).  Flexible with our time, we can also offer sessions in the evenings and on weekends, services that most other therapists refuse to do.  There need not be any shame for having to deal with issues of the mind…we all deal with something.  You are not alone.  There is a solution.  Let us help you find your solution, your True Self, your Higher Self, and help you bring peace, relief, and joy back into your life experience.

Life Coaching

Providing coaching for general life-path and well-being as well as for decision-making support and guidance. Sometimes we all need an outside objective perspective to help us make thoughtful decisions. Oftentimes we are just too close to issues in our lives and have trouble setting aside overwhelming emotions and thoughts that could be clouding our decision-making and judgement. That’s where we can help. We don’t make decisions for you, rather we help provide an objective perspective on your life and potential choices and help you to tap into your own innate strengths and tools to make clear and intentional decisions without clouding them with negative self-talk, second guessing, and split-decision making. Our philosophy is that there is a clear difference between reacting to life circumstances and responding to them. Reacting, much like a reflex response, is usually made from the place of subconscious, automatic, or emotionally charged places and can (not always) lead us down decision-making behaviors that we can regret or later need to clean up. Responding, on the other hand, tends to come from a place of grounded awareness of the situation and one’s place in and responsibility to the situation. These responsive decisions are often times more fruitful for us in the long run and more aligned with our short-term as well as long-term goals and aspirations. We at Mind-Ops can coach you through life’s toughest times, times that often require wise decisions or even an active refrain from making a decision.

Addictions Counseling

Do you experience any of the following? We’ve been there! Mind-Ops clinicians can help!

(1) Repeating substance use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home (ex. substance related absences, repeated absences or poor performance due to substance use, suspensions or expulsions from school, neglect of children or household)

(2) Recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (e.g. driving an automobile or operating a machine when impaired)

(3) Recurrent substance-related legal problems (e.g. arrests for substance-related disorderly conduct)

(4) Continued substance use despite persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of the substance (e.g. arguments with spouse about consequences of intoxication, physical fights)

(5) Tolerance, as defined by either of the following:

o   A need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve intoxication or desired effect

o   Markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance

(6) Withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following:

o   The characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance

o   Taking the same (or a closely related) substance to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms

o   Taking the substance often in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended

o   Having a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use

We here at Mind-Ops are clinically trained in Substance Abuse Counseling and have personal experiences that greatly increase the credibility of our clinicians including having long-term sobriety.  We understand the pain and anguish that come from excessive substance use… the loss of trust from others… the isolation and feelings of helplessness and desperation… the various losses of people, possessions, and employment… and even thoughts of suicide that sometimes accompany these circumstances.  Your situation doesn’t have to get to that point; it can be halted with help from our trained clinicians.  We here at Mind-Ops realize that 12-Step programs aren’t for everyone and as such we pull treatment techniques and protocols not only from 12-Step programs but also from Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies, Dialectical-Behavioral Therapies, Reality-Based Therapies, Spiritual Therapies, and General Talk-Therapy.  Now is the best time to change your relationship to yourself.  You have the power to do so and we can help you if you are willing to accept it.  Schedule with us today and get on the road to recovery, the road to peace and happiness.
