Our focus on hiring experienced specialists in various areas of mental health ensures that clients receive high-quality care tailored to their specific needs.

The wide range of services offered, including Gottman Method marriage counseling, premarital counseling, couples therapy, family counseling, divorce counseling, and interventions for anxiety disorders, addresses a comprehensive spectrum of mental health and relationship issues.

Having Bad side effects to Medication but need something to help with ADHD, Depression, Anxiety or Mood Disorders. At TLC we have an Alternative to Medication Approach.
Many of our client’s report having a negative reaction to medications for ADHD, ASD, Depression and Anxiety and we have our clients talk to their doctors about a holistic approach and in many cases our clients do not need as much psychotropic drugs or may not need it at all. The president of Total Life Counseling Center Jim West has been called the Defiant Teen Whisperer because of his expertise in working with Oppositional Defiant Children and Teens. Jim West has taught his therapists this approach to pass his knowledge on to help as many clients as possible. Often clients have tried many different medications for ADHD or Anxiety or Depression only to have very negative effects. So, Jim has consulted with many doctors over the years and has found ways to treat ADHD, Depression, Anxiety & Mood Disorder with supplements and diet changes.
Sports Counseling and Mental Toughness
He has used this Alternative approach to help with Sport Psychology and Mental Toughness as well to calm down and not be so hard on themselves. The best athletes are perfectionists and need a balance of working hard to be their personal best without beating themselves up! Using supplements to help to calm our athletes down helps them to find that balance along with some John Wooden Competitive Greatness principles.
