Our services.
Addiction Counseling
At BRG Counseling, we understand that addiction is a complex journey that affects every aspect of life. Whether you're struggling with substance use, gambling, food-related behaviors, or other addictive patterns, you'll find a judgment-free environment where healing can begin. We recognize that while addictions share common threads, each person's path to recovery is unique - what works for one person may not work for another. Our approach combines proven therapeutic techniques with personalized strategies that fit your specific situation, helping you build a sustainable foundation for lasting change.
Group counseling is one of our most powerful tools in addiction recovery. These sessions create a supportive community where participants can share experiences and insights while maintaining confidentiality and respect for each other's privacy. Our professionally facilitated groups help members develop crucial recovery skills, including identifying triggers, building healthy coping mechanisms, and creating strong support networks. You'll learn from others who truly understand your challenges, share in both struggles and successes, and discover that you're not alone in this journey. Whether you choose individual therapy, group sessions, or a combination of both, BRG Counseling offers the tools, support, and expertise you need to work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. We believe in focusing on solutions rather than shame, and we'll meet you wherever you are in your recovery journey with respect, understanding, and hope for the future.
Relationship Counseling
Relationships are at the core of our human experience, yet they can be incredibly challenging to navigate. Whether you're dealing with tensions in your marriage, family conflicts, workplace relationships, or friendships, these struggles can create deep emotional pain and daily stress. Even with the best intentions, we sometimes find ourselves stuck in patterns of poor communication, unresolved conflicts, and growing resentment. At BRG Counseling, we understand that seeking help - whether alone or with a partner - is a sign of strength and commitment to personal growth.
For couples seeking counseling together, we provide a balanced, supportive environment where both partners can feel heard and understood. Our sessions help you identify destructive patterns, improve communication skills, and rebuild emotional connections that may have weakened over time. We work on practical tools for managing conflict, expressing needs effectively, and deepening intimacy in ways that respect both partners' boundaries and desires. Through guided exercises and open dialogue, couples often discover new ways to understand each other and work as a team.
Sometimes, you might find yourself wanting to improve a relationship when the other person isn't ready or willing to participate in counseling. This is completely normal, and there's still significant healing and growth possible through individual relationship counseling. We can help you develop better boundaries, improve your communication skills, process past hurts, and build healthier relationship patterns - all of which can positively impact your current and future relationships. Whether you're working through trust issues, dealing with life transitions like marriage or divorce, or simply wanting to build stronger connections with others, BRG Counseling offers flexible scheduling with both in-person and teletherapy options to support your journey. Our goal is to help you create more fulfilling, authentic relationships while staying true to your own needs and values.
Veteran Helping Veterans
As a US Air Force Veteran, John brings firsthand understanding to his work with fellow service members and their families. He recognizes that military life creates unique challenges that can impact mental health - from the stress of deployments and frequent relocations to the complex transition back to civilian life. Veterans and active duty members often find comfort in working with someone who truly understands military culture, terminology, and experiences without needing explanation. John provides specialized support for service-related challenges including PTSD/complex PTSD, combat stress, military sexual trauma, and readjustment difficulties. He also works with military families who face their own unique pressures, such as coping with deployments, maintaining relationships across distances, and supporting a service member with mental health concerns. At BRG Counseling, you'll find a safe, judgment-free space where your military experience is deeply understood and respected. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other concerns, John's combination of clinical expertise and military background allows him to provide effective, culturally-competent care tailored to your specific needs.
Anxiety & Depression
Living with anxiety or depression can make even everyday tasks feel overwhelming. You might find yourself caught in cycles of worry, experiencing unexplained physical symptoms, or feeling disconnected from the things that once brought you joy. At BRG Counseling, we understand that these challenges can affect every aspect of your life - from relationships and work to sleep and daily routines. We provide a welcoming, understanding environment where you can explore these feelings without judgment and work toward positive change at your own pace.
Our approach to anxiety and depression combines proven therapeutic techniques with personalized strategies that fit your unique situation and needs. We work together to understand your specific triggers and symptoms, develop practical coping skills, and build resilience for life's challenges. Through counseling, many clients find new ways to manage overwhelming emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, persistent sadness, or a combination of symptoms, we're here to support your journey toward better mental health. We offer both in-person and teletherapy options, making it easier to access care in a way that feels comfortable for you. While everyone's path to healing looks different, taking the first step to reach out for support can open the door to new possibilities for emotional well-being and personal growth.
