Our Services
Individual & Family
Individual and family therapy and counseling services are offered in a safe, non-judgmental and client-centered manner. It is a joint process between the individual/family and the therapist. Goals of therapy are specific to the client, as is the length of treatment. Clients generally seek therapy when an issue causes distress or interferes with daily life. Distress can mean negative thoughts, feelings, behaviors or even a bodily sensation such as pain or fatigue. The reality is that nearly all people will struggle at one point or another. Therapy is a safe, effective and confidential way of working through those struggles.
Couples Counseling and Therapy
Marriage and couples counseling is a type of therapy where a trained counselor helps two people in a relationship—like a married couple or partners—work through their problems together. These sessions happen in a safe, friendly space where you can talk about things like arguments, trust issues, or feeling disconnected. The counselor listens and gives you tools to understand each other better, improve communication, and build a stronger bond. It’s like a team-building class for your relationship! It can help you solve fights, get closer, or even prepare for marriage if you’re not married yet. At The Optimistic Psychologist, we offer this service in Manhattan, Wamego, and Junction City to support couples in making their relationship happier and healthier!
Group Therapy
a special kind of counseling where a small group of people—usually 6 to 12—meet together with a trained therapist. These meetings happen regularly, and everyone in the group shares similar challenges, like feeling anxious, sad, or stressed. The therapist helps guide the group, creating a safe space where people can talk about their feelings, listen to others, and learn from each other. It’s like having a support team! You can make new friends, feel less alone, and get tips on how to handle tough situations. It’s also a great way to save money compared to one-on-one therapy. Groups might focus on things like learning new skills, getting support, or just talking things out, depending on what you need. At The Optimistic Psychologist, we offer group therapy to help people in Manhattan, Wamego, and Wamego grow stronger together!
