SIFHR Invites you to experience...
individual, couple, and Family therapy
SIFHR's goal is to help you heal and improve your well being and relationships.
Our specialty is relationship work; although we also see many individuals who are wanting to understand themselves and their relationships better. We are interested in promoting healing and forgiveness especially after traumatic life experiences, working through problems that face all of us across the lifespan, and promoting awareness of mind/body/spirit connections. Relationships can be made stronger, more connected and whole, by talking openly to each other. It helps to allow emotions to surface and be expressed directly. Try the honest work of conflict and forgiveness resolution that are central to the life-long process of people living their relationships to the fullest (and less like robots!). We are also incorporating energy work into our therapy for those who are interested (or curious!).

A goof proof therapy promise
We appreciate that it takes courage to acknowledge when you could use some help, and even more to begin to reach out and look for a therapist. Congratulations on making it this far! SIFHR has one primary therapist on staff, Suzanne Haas-Cunningham, Ph.D.
Therapy is similar to other relationships. Sometimes you have to give it a try and ask a few questions to determine if the fit is right for you. You can contact Suzanne and ask her questions about therapy and how she runs her sessions. You might try it out and decide this is a good fit for you...or not. Speak up! It's most important that you feel comfortable and that you get the help you need. If you decide after the first session that the therapy is not right for you, we will refund the money you paid for the first session. Let's try this!
