Working with you to make today and every day "a better day!"

Cricket Evans, LCSW, Director of A Better Day

Are your children misbehaving?  Are you having marriage or relationship problems?  Are you stressed or depressed?  Have you considered getting family, individual or couples counseling?  People come to counseling because they want positive changes in their lives.  We want to be your partners in change.

Yes, I understand it is scary to come to someone you do not know well to discuss your problems, worries and fears. You may be a little tense for the first meeting.  This is normal.  But, I want to tell you that nearly everyone says even after the first session that they were glad they took this first step toward improving their lives. 

Some people have some interesting ideas about what to expect when they come to counseling, so I want to dispel some of the myths.  There is no couch.  Your therapist is not going to "analyze",  judge or label you.  Your therapist is not going to spend sessions sitting and listening to every detail of your upbringing-nodding their head and saying, "yes, I see."  Your therapist is not going to sit and referee one long argument in couples counseling to decide who is right. Your therapist cannot and will not "make " you do anything. 

What is counseling, and what happens during counseling?  You sit and talk with your therapist about your problems and concerns. You are respected as a unique individual.  You will learn new things. There is a great deal of training and teaching that occur during counseling.  Your therapist will give you clear suggestions on ways you can change your thinking or behavior, that if you follow them, will make immediate positive changes in your life. Your therapist will be caring, respectful and direct. 

If you contact us for counseling in an area that we do not specialize in, we will refer you to another therapist.  For a list of issues that we provide counseling for, please go to the counseling page. 

Do you feel like you are stuck in mud?  Are you frustrated about not reaching your goals and dreams?   Is your career or family life falling short of your expectations? Coaching may be for you! 

Coaching works with highly functioning-goal oriented people. A coach can help you get unstuck; get over, under and through the fear and other obstacles that are holding you back from ultimate success in your life.  Please go to our coaching page to find out if coaching is just what you need to reach your dreams.
