Are you dissatisfied with your life and relationships?  At RxRelate, PLC we understand that relating to others can be difficult, painful, filled with conflict, even frightening. Yet a multitude of studies have shown people thrive and become more resilient when they feel connected to others.  Hardships are more easily overcome, problems solved with greater ease, obstacles navigated more effectively when people feel accepted and supported by others.  In addition, social support helps us feel more confident, fulfilled and satisfied. In other words, relationships are key to reaching our full potential.  At RxRelate, PLC, we can help you understand obstacles which have kept you from creating and experiencing satisfying relationships.

The programs at RxRelate, PLC can help you understand self-imposed limitations and the power you have to release them. Whether you feel overwhelmed by your problems, are dissatisfied with your current relationships, need friends or a partner, or are simply too afraid to reach out, we can help.

At RxRelate, PLC, you will learn that the secret to connecting with others lies in your approach, not in the particulars of a given playing field. The right approach will help you reenter social arenas with confidence. You may notice people really do enjoy your company. You may understand obstacles you thought were insurmountable, aren't.  At RxRelate, PLC, we offer:

• Personal counseling and support
• Courses in classroom format
• Weekend workshops
• Individual consulations
• Ongoing support groups

Our 3-Factor Approach involves:

1. Education:
   A critical component to meeting and connecting with people is understanding your interactions. Our programs are designed to help you understand how you affect others, how to connect and build positive relationships. Whether you want to learn how to get over the first and most important hurdle--leaving a positive first impression, or how to break self-defeating patterns, our programs help shed light on what has and has not worked for you in the past and on how to proceed more effectively in the future.

2. Support and feedback:
   Many of us, for varying reasons, struggle with the courage to approach persons of interest.  At times, connections are made and appear positive, then suddenly fall apart--calls are not returned,  the other person declines a second date, tension rises, confusion sets in.  What went wrong?   At RxRelate, PLC, we are in the unique position of being able to facilitate direct feedback. If you're wondering what kinds of impressions you leave behind or how you come across, we can help you solve the mystery. You will have the opportunity to learn how to overcome bad habits in a safe environment with the support of professionals and peers.
3. Opportunities and Experience:
   We believe support is essential as you learn new social and dating skills. Through networking with peers, you will develop a support system that will help you process the experiences you encounter as you go out into the world and begin dating or connecting socially. All of our workshops are experientially based. Participants have the unique opportunity to try out all of the skills they learn in a safe and supportive setting.

The following Counseling and Support Groups are currently active:

Support/Therapy groups focused on Addiction: Addictions get in the way of relationships.  When chemical abuse/dependence or compulsive behavior is part of the equation, it needs to be addressed before progress can be made in relating to others.  In an effort to assist individuals who are struggling with addiction, we are offering groups which can assist in the preparation for treatment, as well as in the maintenance of sobriety.  Group members in recovery share their experience with those contemplating treatment. The synergy between individuals who have achieved sobriety and those desiring to attain it can be particularly helpful for both.  A 1-hour intake interview is required prior to enrollment.  Groups are facilitated by professional counseling staff.

Managing Stress and Anxiety: For individuals whose anxiety is in the way of connecting authentically with others.  Participants learn techniques to manage anxiety and stress.  They are gently challenged to examine and face fears in a step-by-step process.

Grief and Loss Support Group: Support for those who have lost an important person in their life and are experiencing difficulty moving beyond the grief.  Stages of grief are discussed and processed.  Focus on strategies for life enhancement and strengthening connection with others.

Adjusting to Terminal Illness: What does it mean to face death? How can we learn to prepare our loved ones and ourselves while living life to the fullest? End-of-life issues are discussed in a warm and supportive environment.   Participants will have a chance to reflect on a wide range of spiritual views while supporting each other through this very difficult time.

Women in Transition: For empty nesters who are ready to reclaim their lives. plan a change of career or adjust to retirement.
