When is the right time for therapy?

If you are here, the right time is now. Have you tried everything and nothing has worked?  Letty Cottin Pogrebin once said “ If the family were a boat, it would be a canoe that makes no progress unless everyone paddles.” Even if one person stops paddling, this is a time to ask:

• What are we missing?

• What have we tried?

• How can we move forward together?

When one stops paddling, that can indicate loss of trust, feeling disconnected and disrespected, uncomfortable transitions and so on. I can go on and on, but I am sure you get my point. Here, we want you to paddle together, because that is what families do.

At  Lavender Healing Center (LHC) PLLC we help build healthier marriages, relationships and stronger families.  Members (we are working to phase out the term “client”) often seek services at LHC for many reasons, such as challenges in their marriages, moving from past relationships or even feeling personally stuck. As you see through the provided services below, we don’t offer a vast amount of services. That benefit allows us to service a specialized group of people and stay within our own wheel of knowledge. At LHC, we want you to show up as your full self and be comfortable with the process of healing and restoring-we will take care of the rest. Lavender Healing Center is a practice that is inclusive to all. I look forward to meeting you.

Why do people choose Lavender Healing Center?

• We do not follow all of the routine traditions of therapy, as they all were not created with BIPOC people in mind. However, we remain ethical and guide our practice as such.

• Evidence Based. There are some models that fit us all, though, such as Emotional Focus Therapy, Brainspotting and Solutioned Focused Brief Therapy that is utilized in our practice.

• People don’t want to mask. No matter who you are, people often leave feeling seen and heard. That is always our first goal and most of the time theirs as well. 

• Experience. Let’s be honest. People do care about some marriage therapists being married. From my lens, that does not have to be, but I also understand “being” in something is a qualifier as high, if not higher than “knowing” how to do something. As the lead therapist, Kasey has been married for over 17 years. Coupled with training and military travels, she sees and understands relationships from different viewpoints.

  Family Therapy

  Families go through many transitions such as school, moving, switching jobs, grief, and caring for their elderly parents. Many of these things (and others) can create stress within the family unit. One person may often feel left or not heard. Family therapy is helpful because everyone has an equal voice and is in a safe space to express their emotions and work towards healing.
