Trish Hart Counseling

If navigating your life or relationships is leaving you drained and unfulfilled, reaching out for help may be a great next step.

Whether you are trying to strengthen a relationship, repair damage from a trauma situation or seek to live with a higher level of satisfaction, finding the therapist that “clicks” with who you are is an important part of the process. Finding someone with whom you feel comfortable is the first step; the relationship and trust that develops is an essential part of the process.

My passion is to inspire and empower people to accept themselves, realize their value and create the life they want. I invite you to contact me to see if we would be a good fit for counseling.

therapy approach image
My approach to therapy is tailored to each client and what they want to gain from therapy. I use a combination of philosophies and models to guide you in exploring both the present and past in a safe, collaborative space to discover how to move forward to relieve symptoms, manage life more effectively and form deeper connections with yourself and others.  

Internal Family Systems (IFS) – despite its name, it is NOT family therapy. This experiential model helps clients explore what is driving their behavior and heal the obstacles that may get in the way.

Systems theory, which helps clients understand the context influencing their behaviors (family, work, community) and how to effectively change our role in those systems.

Nonviolent communication model - increases our capacity for self-compassion as well as compassion for others, which allows us to communicate with clarity and love more fully. 

My leadership and business coaching training also armed me with a solid understanding of how goal-oriented, solution-focused tools can be very powerful in certain situations. Cognitive behavioral tools to understand how our thinking patterns may be counter-productive can be an important part of making change and getting to goals. 

My education and training, as well as personal experience, with addiction issues in my family has given me a solid understanding of chemical dependency recovery and 12-step programs as well as other approaches to the treatment of addiction.

My own life has given me a strong belief in the resilience of human beings and the possibility of healing for individuals, families, and communities.

I am not on any insurance panels. I can provide a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance. However, out-of-network deductibles will apply. Most FSA and HSA plans will allow mental health counseling as an allowable expense. 
Currently, my schedule is full. I will update this as I have openings. If you do not need help urgently and would like to be on my waiting list, please feel free to reach out. We can discuss further whether it would be a good fit. 
I have both options available. My preference is in-person sessions but have found Zoom to be very effective if schedules or distance are limitations. 
50 minute session for individuals are $175
50 minute session for couples are $185.
I offer reduced rates for a limited number of clients. Please inquire if a reduced rate would help make counseling accessible.
