At Estes Therapy, we offer a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your emotions, heal from pain, navigate grief, and find support through recovery—or whatever may be holding you back. Our goal is to help you grow into the happiest, healthiest version of yourself.

You’ll gain valuable tools and skills to improve your well-being and relationships. We commonly help clients work through issues like communication challenges, anxiety, stress, abuse, conflict resolution, severe trauma, PTSD, body image struggles, self-esteem concerns, and loneliness.

**Your journey to healing starts here!**

These issues all will continue to prevent you from feeling in tune with yourself, and feeling like you can and will be the person you want to be. Some issues you face that bring you into our therapy offices will be easier to conquer, and we can do so in a few therapy sessions. However often, other, deeper wounds reveal themselves as you let yourself explore your inner hurdles, requiring more time and attention.

In couples therapy, you can rekindle your spark, improve communication & conflict resolution, and work through tough issues like infidelity. Our approach to couples counseling focuses on how to form, repair, and strengthen the attachment bond in your relationship. We’ll get you back on the same page and feel like you’re speaking the same language again. Therapy is a great preventative tool to keep you and your partner emotionally connected and able to navigate tough conversations before they drive distance between you.
