Private Professional Counseling
with Dr. Ronn Elmore
Sometimes life can seem so frustrating, painful, and confusing. It
could be something that has been going on for a very long time, or it
could have come on suddenly and unexpectedly. Either way, these are
times when we feel stuck—and we sense that we could use some help. Maybe
fear or shame keeps us from reaching out.
There is help.... But you must be willing to take the first step.
I offer skilled, highly-effective counseling in my midtown Sacramento
office. As a longtime individual and relationship therapist, a former
pastor, national speaker and bestselling author, I have been helping
people “pull it together” for over 15 years. I’d like to help you too.
Individual Counseling
is an opportunity to receive new insight, strategic direction and
encouraging support with difficulties in your life. It can be effective
helping you deal with personal issues like depression, high stress,
fears and insecurities, low self-esteem, codependence, troublesome
behavioral patterns, substance abuse or self-sabotaging habits.
Couples Therapy.
All
couples—married or not--experience periodic ups and downs, conflicts and
misunderstandings, and even devastating “earthquakes.” Often couples are
able to work through these difficulties and move on. But sometimes,
conflicts remain unresolved, as frustration and detachment grows. This
is when couples counseling can be of help. I assist you in identifying the often hidden causes of your conflict, verbalizing your expectations
of each other, and taking practical steps to resolve your conflicts and
upgrade the level of intimacy in high-functioning within your
relationship.
Pre-Marital Counseling.
It is probably no coincidence that 50% of all marriages end in
divorce and that only a tiny percentage of people who marry had any kind
of pre- marriage education or counseling process. A structured
preparation process is critical to the long-term success of a
marriage—simply because it prepares partners for their many years
together and eliminates many of the inevitable surprises that can
undermine an ill-prepared couple after marriage. I will assist you in
getting to know each other beyond surface levels, identifying the vast
differences between you, and developing practical skills for a mature,
mutually-satisfying married life together.
If you are committed to making positive changes in your life or in your
relationship, I invite you to contact me today.
