Discover Perspective. Pursue Growth.
Redefine, LLC was established in 2015 out of a vision to provide a place where people discover perspective and pursue growth.
Choosing the right counselor for you or your family can be an overwhelming decision. You want someone who makes you feel safe and comfortable, free from judgment, yet also experienced in helping you work through a difficult and sensitive situation.
We view clients as important decision makers for themselves and their family. We don’t just talk about the crisis of the week and make counseling endless. We know pain and struggles are real. Therefore, through a combined effort in creating a plan with practical steps, clients may experience relief to symptoms while developing healthy social supports to maintain progress from the work of counseling.
We enjoy teaching clients how to understand mental health in simple ways. Schedule your pressure-free initial consultation with one of our counselors.
