At Elephant Rock we believe the highest therapeutic priority for client and counselor is being “mindful” and “deeply interested” throughout the entire process. With this approach, the most effective path unfolds spontaneously and collaboratively as you work towards the changes you want for your life. Counselors make every effort to provide a safe and supportive environment where you feel at ease with the vulnerability essential for making therapy work. Popular and widely known techniques are utilized but they are considered secondary with most symptoms and issues we work with, as the research is clear, what your therapist brings into the room and the type of relationship they develop with you are the main factors in working towards a positive treatment outcome, and why we believe in our counselors doing their own therapy.
Many providers offer a 45-50 minute therapy hour. Elephant Rock believes in a 60 minute therapy hour. It takes time to work through & process material, every minute is helpful. The Clinicians at Elephant Rock believe helping others is a life calling, enjoying the work immensely, and thus consider it a privilege to be any part of positive life changes.

Family counseling can be a difficult and deeply rewarding experience. Sometimes there can be a lot of emotion while processing, we are committed to making sure everyones voice is heard while also making sure it is a safe environment essential for healthy communication. Your therapist will be a guide as you develop better communication skills, providing encouragement along the way to trust the process as your family works through conflict and finds common ground everyone is committed to.
Our counselors expertise centers on facilitating communication. There are certainly times when a counselor must go beyond facilitating, expressing clearly that certain behaviors are damaging such as emotional or physical abuse, etc. However, there is often a valid point of view from the transgressor that needs to be understood and explored while also making sure the hurtful and damaging behaviors stop.
The counselors at Elephant Rock believe objectivity is the most important variable for a clinician to influence positive change in your family system balanced with providing you helpful education and guidance. Family counseling is a 60 minute therapy hour.
