The Problem

As we know, life does not always work the way we want it to work. Our well-meaning attempts to make life work, too often become patterns that keep us from  fulfilling the life we were made to live. When we can’t change these patterns, we get stuck. When life isn’t working, we need help.  And NO, It’s never too late to change.

The Process

Therapy is a collaborative, interactive process between patient and therapist. During this process, the therapist can treat specific issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, adjustments, sexual integrity, past or current trauma, etc.) or everyday concerns (e.g. relationships and family problems, career issues, etc.). Dr Emerson provides a safe place to explore these issues in your life and discover the change you are seeking.

The Promise

Dr. Emerson will work to help you find healing, growth and maturity as an individual. His goal is to help you learn how to better live your "own" story through the process of rediscovering a deeper sense of self identity, developing more authentic relationships and living increasingly fulfilling lives.

The Problem

 Whether you’ve been married four months or forty years; whether you’re thinking about getting married, engaged, or dating seriously; or you’re just trying to figure your relationship out, we often need help navigating it all.  Relationships are not EASY.

The Process

Dr. Emerson's approach is aimed at helping couples address the core problems unique to their relationship. He offers  a comprehensive, collaborative approach that is designed to get beneath the “presenting issues” of the relationship.

He looks at the roots of the problems and focuses on the opportunities for healing and transformation through greater relational and spiritual intimacy. 

The Promise

Dr. Emerson works with married and unmarried couples across a wide spectrum. Whether you need help getting “unstuck” or you are looking for better communication skills, recovering from infidelity or addiction, or have significant relational impairment and/or disconnection, Dr Emerson is here to help.  As with many issues, communication is the Process with drives us forward.

It is helpful to understand the distinction between process and content.  An analogy is to compare the communication process to the vehicle and the content to the passengers who ride within the  vehicle.  If the vehicle is not functioning well,  then the vehicle isn't going to be able to get the passengers to the destination.  The same is true in relationships. So, to have a well functioning  relationship (vehicle), or process, the couple needs assertiveness, reflective listening and problems solving skills.

Marriage is a LOVING Business and not a Sole Proprietorship.
