About Us
Inner Journey Counseling Services, L.L.C., provides compassionate mental health services to those who are looking at healing and moving forward on their life path. With over 20+ years of experience in working with youth, adults, couples and families, we strive to support each individual as they explore and learn about how best to honor themselves. The principle of person-in-environment focuses on an individual’s biological or psychological needs, values, goals, abilities, or personality. Our approach to mental health is much more beyond managing symptoms. Our purpose is to examine, reflect, challenge and support the individuals and collectives in the person's social environment so that personal attributes and environment are compatible.

Why Counseling?
Counseling works because of what the therapist and client do together—not because of the therapist’s expertise in fixing clients’ thinking processes, in interpreting or re-interpreting their life experiences, or in teaching them behavioral options.
