Through training, experience, and education, we specialize in the following areas.
Addiction Recovery
"I promise, this time it'll be different."
"I just can't seem to stop. No matter how hard I try, I just can't shake it."
Whether you think you might have a problem, or you've already started down the road to recovery, Red River Counseling offers an experienced, compassionate, researched approach to helping you become truly sober. Whether your addiction is to food, drugs or alcohol, sex or pornography, we have someone who can help you walk the road to recovery.
When treating addiction, we look at the causes and conditions, not just the problematic behaviors. Let us help you get what you need to live 'happy, joyous, and free.'
Anxiety & Depression
"I just can't shake it, no matter what I do I can't let go of this feeling of hopelessness."
"Everything is overwhelming, I'm not sure how much more I can handle!"
Anxiety and depression are two sides of the same coin. If you’re in a place that feels either dark & hopeless, or overwhelming & helpless, there are ways to get to a place of peace.
Utilizing many different methods of treatment, our therapists can help you find the skills, practices, and healing for depression & anxiety. Using the best-researched practices of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, physical fitness, Yoga, and others, we will work with you to find what is most helpful. We work with medical practitioners to make sure medications you are on are helping, not hurting, the process of you getting stable.
Often, anxiety & depression find their roots in our relationships, unmet emotional needs, and past hurts and hang-ups. Let us help you dig up the source of the problem, so that you can live a life you enjoy.
Men’s Issues
Many men feel lost, but don’t know how or who to ask for help. Much like being lost in the woods, your first step is to figure out where you’re at.
We can be your trail guide, helping you find your self and your path forward.
We’ve been working with men, young and old, over the past decade, helping them find out who they are, what they're afraid of, and what they want. Whether you feel lost in your relationships, career, parenting, or emotional life, we're here to offer non-judgmental assistance.
Most men are able to take-off after they get started. Let us help you start walking forward. We also believe in the power of adventures, so be sure to check out some of the adventure trips we lead for men.
Teen Issues
The hard news is that parenting a teenager is one of the more difficult things we face in life. The good news is that you’re not alone.
In the midst of the torrent of hormones, changing friendships, and the big questions of adolescence, many teens find themselves at a loss. Afraid to talk with parents, but still in desperate need of guidance, many teens turn to their peers and culture for answers.
Unfortunately, this leaves many teens wanting, and not knowing where to turn.
Whether your teen's grades are failing or they're still on the honor roll, counseling can help them sort through the confusion, anger, and shame that typically come with the teen years.
If you've seen sudden and drastic changes in your teenager’s mood, grades, friendships or behavior, ask them if they'd like to talk it out with a counselor. We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for them to sort through the stuff in their life, helping them get their feet on solid ground so they can better enjoy the turbulent time of adolescence. Our counselors have spent decades working with teens on their turf, and knows how to help them feel safe enough to share what's really going on.
Here’s an article we wrote to help you figure out if your teen might be abusing drugs, alcohol, or pornography.
Getting help for your teenager is one great way to show them your love for them, and your dedication to them.
Sexual Issues
"All he ever wants is sex. He doesn't even SEE me, he just wants to use me!"
"I'm terrified of being that vulnerable with someone else. I want intimacy, but I have no idea how to get it."
"I can't not look at porn. No matter what I do, everything and everyone is turned into sex."
In the midst of an ever-changing sexual culture, it’s easy to get lost, confused or bound up along the way.
A lot of folks are confused about their sexuality, or desire freedom from shame in their sexuality. While many just long to have freedom from destructive behaviors and impulses like pornography or sexually acting out. Today, many men find themselves impotent because of fear, stress or an abuse of pornography. Many couples report that their sex life has diminished into near non-existence, or that sex is their only way of connecting. Women often describe the immense shame they feel for being too sexual, or not sexual enough.
Whatever your stance, whatever your issue- be it confusion, shame, or addiction- Red River Counseling can help assist you in finding the relief and wholeness you long for.
PTSD/Trauma Care
Trauma are those life events that change the way you view yourself and the world around you. Traumatic events affect us each differently and often leave us feeling vigilant, afraid, and distrustful.
If you find yourself suffering from PTSD, or just can’t get over something in your past, let us help you find freedom from the traumatic effects. Often, traumatic experiences like the unexpected loss of a loved one, divorce, car accidents, natural disasters, abuse, neglect, bullying, or sudden life changes cause us to get angry, numb out, push away our friends, or just run away. It can also have major impacts on our sleep, diet, and relationships. However, there is a way through the pain.
We have counselors trained to help you heal from the lingering effects of traumatic experiences. However you have been impacted, we can help guide you towards relief and wholeness.
Women’s Issues
Many women feel overwhelmed and alone, but believe they need to look strong. But going at it alone only adds to the shame and isolation.
We can walk alongside you, helping you find your way forwards.
We’ve been working with women of all ages, helping them find out who they are, what they're afraid of, and what they need. Whether you feel lost in your relationships, career, parenting, or emotional life, we're here to offer non-judgmental assistance.
