Syncere Consultants, Inc. provides therapeutic and clinical services for youth to youth with behavioral, emotional, mental health, substance abuse, and legal issues including youth who are involved with the juvenile justice system. Syncere Consultants, Inc. provides Intensive In-Community Services support through a culturally non-judgmental approach recognizing family strengths.

Substance Abuse
I specialize in addiction, understand relapse prevention, and the therapeutic process that addiction is more than merely using alcohol or drugs. In the therapeutic process, I help substance abusing clients identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that create pain and problems that make self-medicating with alcohol and other drugs seem like a good choice.

Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger after traumatic events. We will work with you to overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Relationships
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with couples in a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.

Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions we experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover the motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
