Have you been struggling to find therapy that works for you?
Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t work. Maybe it worked in the beginning, but the change didn’t last. Maybe you’ve had bad experiences with therapy in the past and want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Maybe you aren’t sure which type of therapy will work best for you.

How is Fountain Square Counseling different?
Which therapeutic approach is right for me?
Will I achieve lasting change?
We use Evidence Based Practice.
Our approach to therapy is rooted in scientifically based care. The common medical model means applying empirically supported treatments based simply on your diagnosis. Evidence based practice means we use these proven methods of psychotherapy as tools to better focus on your individual needs as we tailor treatment specifically to you. It isn’t about simply applying a treatment to your problem, but connecting with you as the expert on your own life throughout the therapy process.
Evidence Based Practice helps ensure quality care.
Our therapists are committed to professional development and self reflection, knowing that therapy comes down to two humans in a room working together towards a common goal.
Evidence Based Practice at Fountain Square Counseling looks like:
Prioritizing your objectives for therapy
Keeping the client-therapist relationship central to the process
Ensuring that your choice in direction of treatment remains the priority
Committing to expanding your understanding of yourself through research-supported treatment
Continuing to monitor that treatment is effective and meeting your needs
Every person requires an individual approach, but at Fountain Square Counseling we understand that working with you to develop a safe space where you can grow starts with building a strong alliance with you. You have the strength within yourself to change; we have the skills to help you find it.
