Linda and Rachel discuss what new clients can expect when they come in for couples counseling. At True Vine, we are not going to place blame on either partner, we are not going to give relationship advice, and we are not going to tell you how you should compromise. What we will do is help you learn how to have deeper, more meaningful, conversations with one another. Conversations that get to the root of your conflict and increase emotional connection. Leaving couples feeling closer, safer with one another, and better able to make decisions together.

Linda and Rachel discuss the inner child, which is a term used in various therapy models. At True Vine Counseling, we believe learning how to connect with and nurture your inner child is an important process in your healing journey. As an adult, you possess the power to validate and meet the needs your younger self longed for, but did not receive. This process can help you gain a sense of self-trust and inner peace.
