Geoff Winfree

Geoff Winfree has helped hundreds of individuals and families while in private practice since 1997 and have supervised other clinicians since 1999. Real and effective change occurs in Psychotherapy, or counseling, when the relationship between you and your therapist focuses on  your well-being and growth. He provides counseling to individuals, couples, and families using a brief systems approach. This means treatment centers upon your presenting concerns within the context of your environment. 

Mental health is best achieved in a family or marital framework using the power of relationships as a force for positive change. Geoff helps address a wide array of issues including depression, addiction and substance abuse, pornography, eating disorders, suicidal impulses, stress management, problems with self-esteem, issues associated with aging, job and career concerns, educational decisions, issues related to mental and emotional health, and family, parenting, and marital or other relationship problems.

By applying systemic principles, methods, and therapeutic techniques to your marriage and family for the purpose of resolving problems, he will help you modify your perceptions and behaviors, enhance communication and understanding, manage conflict, and achieve personal satisfaction, harmony within your family and a dramatically better quality of life.
