Who We Counsel

single, Dating, engaged

We aim to explore how to reduce conflict around money and arrange finances to be unified, transparent, and automatic.

Research on how finances are arranged in both financially abusive and healthy relationships may provide patterns and insight. Raising awareness around when red flag behaviors first start. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores automatic cognitions such as, “I am not a nice person if I don’t give them the loan they want.” Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on developing communication skills such as distress tolerance and radical acceptance.

Married

Whether you are a married woman exploring your relationship with money or a couple, our focus is to help identify and resolve those points of conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the automatic thoughts behind a behavior such as the need for separate bank accounts. Financial concepts, research, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated such as “state the facts.” Collaboration with other professionals is integrated as is helping case managing the necessary steps. What life insurance policy you choose is less essential that understanding how your financial infrastructure lends itself to division or unity.

Victims of Financial Abuse

Our goal is to look at how the trauma around money or exposure to chronic coercive control has eroded confidence in relation to basic financial skills. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy investigates automatic cognitions and reframes them. In this case,  automatic cognitions around money and coercive control might be that you were told you are not good with managing money or it’s none of your business.   We examine what informed those automatic cognitions, and work on restructuring them.
