At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that communication difficulties can create profound disconnection and frustration in even the most loving relationships. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that communication patterns are shaped by family of origin experiences, past relationship dynamics, cultural factors, and individual differences in processing and expressing emotions.
Attempts to discuss important issues quickly deteriorate into arguments.
You navigate difficult conversations with respect and effectiveness.
You feel chronically misunderstood or unable to express yourself clearly.
You communicate your thoughts and feelings with confidence and clarity.
Defensive reactions or shutting down prevent productive dialogue.
You remain emotionally regulated during challenging discussions.
The same communication patterns repeat despite your best efforts to change.
You recognize unhelpful patterns and implement new communication strategies.
Important topics become "undiscussable" due to fear of conflict.
You approach necessary conversations with appropriate skills and boundaries.
We understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming. We’re here to make this decision easier for you.
Starting therapy can bring up mixed feelings—part of you might be eager, while another part hesitates to confront deeply buried emotions. You might doubt whether therapy can help, especially if you’ve struggled for a long time or had disappointing experiences with untrained therapists or life coaches. At Evergreen Counseling, our trauma-trained therapists are deeply committed to providing expert care.
