Counseling Services


For some, the thought of therapy seems intimidating or perhaps they believe that there is a stigma attached to those who are seeking help from trained counselors. It is our goal to create an environment of trust where you can find the help you need.

Adults

Individual psychotherapy can be helpful when you are struggling with personal problems or life transitions such as marriage, divorce, career change or geographical move. It can be of crucial help when you are dealing with anxiety and depression that interferes with your job, school, or relationships. We offer grief counseling for those who are dealing with personal loss. We provide services for those struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors. We also offer various testing and evaluation services for adults, including psychological, psycho-educational, premarital, executive functioning, vocational, and attention deficit assessments.

Children & Adolescents

Counseling with adolescents or children requires a set of tools that is distinctly different than those used when helping adults. Younger children especially have less sophisticated verbal abilities than adults, but many of the same emotional or behavioral challenges. Adolescents may be much more selective about what to communicate and with whom. Child and adolescent therapists have experience in navigating these barriers. Our therapists know how to work through a wide range of problems with these age groups. We also offer psychological, psycho-educational, executive functioning, and attention deficit assessments for children and adolescents.

Families & Couples

Family therapy is often helpful when young children or adolescents are having problems with behavior at home or at school, difficulty with studies, peer pressures or drug or alcohol abuse. If you are older, family therapy can help you work out problems with adult children or aging parents.

Marital and couples therapy can help those who are experiencing problems in a relationship. Premarital counseling is helpful if you are entering a relationship.

Lisa

My husband and I went to The Arlington Center over the course of a few months for marriage counseling. My husband liked our therapist. We found her to be compassionate and warm. She was encouraging and provided a time and space for us to get our marriage back on track. We plan on returning for our future marriage tune-ups.

As I have worked in recovery group and one-on-one, I have benefited from the transparency, skill and deep caring. I am a better husband, father and man because of the guidance and influence.

I was shopping in a fun boutique in Saugatuck not long ago, admiring the unique clothing, jewelry, and home décor.  As I was browsing, I spotted this small purple hippopotamus.  He had white polka dots and an impish face, and just looking at him made me smile. I...

My kids and husband just got home from a super fun vacation to visit their grandparents in Vermont.  The trip back involved about 19 hours in a truck.  Nineteen hours in a truck with three kids, one adult, and a dog.  They busted out of the truck like their lives...
