We believe that if we can build a connection or relationship with our clients, we can help them with fresh ways of thinking, expressing emotions and behaving. In addition, there are often outside issues which impact individuals and families in profound ways. We offer help with the following:

Live Sane then employs techniques such as:
• cognitive-behavioral strategies

All of these approaches focus on the clients’ strengths, with the end goal of moving forward with a successful, happy and productive life.
The goal of couples and family therapy is to help build and strengthen family connections and communication.
