Whether you are soul-searching, exploring or revisiting your sexuality, or seeking more fulfilling relationships, Dragonfly Counseling & Wellness is right for you.
We craft non-pathologizing therapeutic experiences specific to your needs and desires to empower you to become your most authentic self and thrive in your relationships.
A SPECIALIZED APPROACH TO DELIVER RESULTS
Our therapists have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which we have chosen as our prime treatment modality for both individuals and partners. We love EFT because it is a research-based approach grounded in the study of human connection - it helps identify patterns of emotional disconnection and replace them with new ways of reaching out to others that build trust, safety, and closeness.
In addition to EFT, as appropriate based on your specific needs, we may recur to other treatment modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Person-Centered, and Strength-Based approaches. What all of these approaches have in common is a fundamental positive view of you as a person. Our goal in therapy is to recognize and accept your thoughts and struggles, to validate your experience, and help you develop better coping mechanisms based on your unique strengths.
ONE GOAL.
Three different Therapeutic Experiences
#1 INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Is a confidential space where a trained therapist works only with you to address personal issues, challenges, and concerns. Our focus on identity, sexuality, and connection makes us particularly suited to helping you gain a better understanding of your personal experience, develop coping strategies, improve self-awareness, and make positive changes in your life.
#2 RELATIONSHIP AND COUPLES THERAPY
Is designed to support you and the people who matter most in your life. Whether you are in a traditional marriage or a non-traditional relationship, we offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where your individual needs will be recognized and validated, so that you may strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen your connection—no matter the type or stage of your relationship.
#3 OUTDOOR THERAPY
Combines traditional therapy with the calming effects of nature and physical movement. Instead of sitting in an office, you and your therapist engage in therapy while walking or sitting outdoors. This approach promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and encourages a more open flow of conversation. It is ideal for those who feel more comfortable being active or who find sitting challenging. Outdoor Therapy can enhance creativity, mindfulness, and emotional well-being.
PSYCHO-EDUCATION PROGRAMS
A complement to therapy, psychoeducation is an evidence-based intervention that informs individuals about their mental health conditions and empowers them to actively promote their mental health wellbeing through guided reflections and practiced activities. Dragonfly Counseling & Wellness’s select psychoeducation programs are available to both existing clients and other individuals who seek to complement their therapeutic experience with specialized interventions.
BREAK-UP TO BREAK-THROUGH
is a 6 session program designed to support you in moving through the pain of heartbreak and into a place of deeper healing and self-discovery. Each session includes an educational component as well as guided activities aimed at helping you develop coping skills and gain insight into your past relationship dynamics in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
CURATED INTENSIVE PROGRAMS FOR FASTER RESULTS
Therapy takes time to work, but we understand that certain situations are simply too distressing to wait to see results. To this end, we have developed select intensive programs for more incisive intervention.
GENDER EXPLORATION
a 10-session Gender Exploration Program designed for individuals who want intentional, guided support as they explore their gender identity. The program includes journaling exercises, between-session reflection assignments, and, when clinically appropriate, up to two gender-affirming care letters.
GENDER EXPLORATION PROGRAM
A structured, affirming space to explore your gender with clarity and support.
At Dragonfly Counseling and Wellness, we offer a 10-session Gender Exploration Program designed for individuals who want intentional, guided support as they explore their gender identity. This program is not about pushing you toward a label or a specific outcome. It’s about helping you better understand yourself. Over 8 weeks, we will explore:
- Your personal gender story
- Gender identity, expression, and lived experience
- Moments of dysphoria and euphoria
- Barriers to living authentically
- The impact on relationships
- Identity experimentation in thoughtful, supported ways
- Coming out and disclosure planning
- Integration and next steps
The program includes journaling exercises, between-session reflection assignments, and, when clinically appropriate, up to two gender-affirming care letters.
Our approach is grounded in gender-affirmative therapy and current WPATH standards of care. We prioritize autonomy, emotional safety, and exploration without assumption.
You don’t have to be certain. You just need a willingness to explore.
By the end of the program, many clients experience greater clarity, reduced shame, stronger communication skills, and increased confidence in their next steps, whatever those steps may be.

It is ideal for anyone who is seeking a deeper connection and the resolution of negative patterns at all stages of relationships.
FINDING RESILIENCE
An intensive, 12-session program crafted to help partners navigate a variety of relationship hurdles ranging from infidelity to separation, and co-parenting after divorce. Each program is tailored to the clients’ specific needs and combines individual and collective sessions under the guidance of two therapists.

WE HAVE ONLY ONE CLIENT:
YOU.
Our therapeutic commitment is to you, not to an insurance company. There are several reasons why we do not work with insurance, mainly related to their forced-diagnosis system and concerns regarding their use of your personal health information.
Specifically, while we are trained in diagnosing mental health conditions, we believe labels and diagnoses should be used only if they have therapeutic value. Additionally, we believe you should be in charge of how your mental health information is used. You can always count on us keeping your information confidential and not disclosing it to anyone without your expressed approval.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
At Dragonfly Counseling & Wellness, we have chosen a private pay model because we do not embrace the forced-diagnosis, pathologizing approach to counseling adopted by Health Insurance companies.
While we don’t bill insurance directly, that doesn’t mean you can’t use your benefits, if so you wish. We accept HSA/FSA cards for payment and, upon request, we can provide you with a “superbill,” a detailed billing statement that you may submit for potential reimbursement.
Let’s talk about what we can do together!
