Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming anxiety, persistent low mood, challenging life transitions, or the grief that accompanies loss, therapy can be a powerful catalyst for change. In individual sessions, you’ll work one-on-one with Dr. Wood to:
Identify Core Patterns: We’ll explore how your thoughts, beliefs, and past experiences shape your current feelings and behaviors—so you can break unhelpful cycles and make lasting shifts.
Develop Tailored Tools: Using evidence-based modalities (CBT, ACT, and mindfulness strategies), you’ll leave each session with concrete skills to manage stress, reframe negative self-talk, and build emotional resilience.
Navigate Life Transitions: Whether you’re adjusting to a new career, ending a relationship, or redefining your sense of purpose, Dr. Wood’s guidance will help you gain clarity, set achievable goals, and embrace the next chapter with confidence.
Dr. Wood has specialized couples therapy training in the Gottman Method and Integrative behavioral couple therapy. In couples therapy, you’ll gain:
Improved Communication: Learn to express needs and vulnerabilities safely, hear your partner without defensiveness, and rebuild trust through structured exercises.
Conflict Resolution Skills: Instead of getting stuck in blame cycles or avoidance, you’ll practice proven techniques—from active listening to “time‐out” strategies—that transform arguments into opportunities for connection.
Shared Growth Plan: Together, you’ll co-create a roadmap for strengthening intimacy, setting boundaries, and reigniting mutual support—so both partners feel seen, heard, and valued.
If you’re ready to invest in deeper self-understanding or rekindle harmony in your relationship, Dr. Wood’s warm, nonjudgmental approach creates a safe space for you to be vulnerable, feel validated, and experience real growth.
Dementia & Caregiver Support
Caring for a loved one with dementia brings unique emotional challenges—grief over the person they once were, frustration when communication breaks down, and the constant fear of being unprepared for “the next stage.” In this specialized track, Dr. Wood offers:
Caring for a loved one with dementia brings unique emotional challenges—grief over the person they once were, frustration when communication breaks down, and the constant fear of being unprepared for “the next stage.” In this specialized track, Dr. Wood offers:
Psychoeducation & Resource Navigation: You’ll receive clear, compassionate explanations of dementia’s progression, what to expect at each stage, and practical tips for managing challenging behaviors—all grounded in the latest research.
Family Systems Counseling: As memory loss reshapes roles and responsibilities, families often struggle with resentment, guilt, or simply not knowing how to talk about what they’re going through. Through facilitated sessions, everyone learns to share emotions safely, set realistic expectations, and build a united front—even when stress levels are high.
Emotional Validation & Grief Processing: Dementia can feel like “losing someone before they’re gone.” You’ll have a space to acknowledge complex feelings—anger, sadness, confusion—without shame. Dr. Wood will guide you through rituals and narrative techniques to honor what’s lost, celebrate small moments of recognition, and find renewed meaning in the caregiving journey.
Self-Care & Burnout Prevention: Using personalized assessments, you’ll create a sustainable self-care plan—daily micro‐breaks, boundary-setting strategies, and peer‐support resources—that prevents compassion fatigue and ensures you can continue providing loving care without sacrificing your own well-being.
Whether you’re a spouse, adult child, or sibling navigating shifting family dynamics, this service helps you move from feeling overwhelmed and isolated to feeling equipped, supported, and emotionally resilient.

Do you wish you understood yourself more deeply—why you react the way you do, what truly motivates you, and how you can leverage your strengths to thrive? In Dr. Wood’s coaching packages and interactive workshops, you’ll experience:
Personalized Personality Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation (e.g., Big Five, MBTI-informed frameworks) so you can see your unique traits laid out clearly—your tendency toward introversion or extroversion, how you handle stress, your decision-making style, and more.
Strengths-Based Goal Setting: Armed with clarity about your personality profile, you’ll co-create a roadmap for personal and professional growth—whether it’s improving communication at work, making more authentic relationship choices, or stepping into leadership roles that align with who you are at your core.
Accountability & Progress Tracking: Regular check-ins, reflective exercises, and targeted “personality hacks” (like reframing your inner critic or structuring your day to match your natural energy peaks) keep you moving forward. You’ll see real, measurable changes in how you show up—at work, at home, and with yourself.
For organizations, Dr. Wood’s workshops bring these concepts to life through:
Interactive Modules on Relational Dissonance: Gain an illuminating understanding of how individual personality differences can lead to misattunement—especially in high-stress contexts like healthcare or caregiving—and learn actionable strategies to bridge those gaps.
Resilience-Building Exercises: Teams practice real-world scenarios (role-plays, guided reflections) that transform empathy from a buzzword into a practiced skill—so staff can maintain compassion without burning out.
Dementia-Focused Sessions for Professionals: Healthcare workers, community educators, and social service providers receive industry-specific training on maintaining emotional balance, communicating with families empathetically, and preventing caregiver fatigue.
Whether you’re a curious individual ready to deepen self-awareness or an organization committed to fostering psychological safety, Dr. Wood’s coaching and workshops equip you with the insight, tools, and support needed to not only understand yourself and others—but to thrive together.
