Intentional Therapy, Intentional Design
At Alta Vista Counseling, we are dedicated to empowering clients on their journey toward hope and healing. We use an experiential approach drawing from evidence-based practices such as Internal Family Systems, Child-Centered Play Therapy, The Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. We prioritize providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals, couples, and families can feel secure and understood as they explore their challenges and work toward positive change.
The intentionality with which we approach therapy is also present in the design and furnishing of our space. As systemic therapists serving clients of all ages and constellations, we have created a space that is warm, inviting, and comfortable. The furniture is chosen to feel lived-in, and the decor features images evoking mountain vistas and nature, in line with the meaning of Alta Vista. To remind our clients of their resiliency, hardy succulents are featured throughout the space, adding a touch of warmth and comfort.
Intentional Tools
Intentional Placement
Our office serves clients of all ages, so toys, the tools of childhood, are a necessity. When possible, we choose toys made from sustainable natural materials. Since we firmly believe that children are valuable members of their family systems, we proudly display our toys and picture books alongside the rest of our decor. Having ready toys, art supplies, and games is also useful when an adult client is interested in bringing creativity and imagination into their therapy sessions.
