W elcome to the webhome of Cedar Creek Counseling. My name is Kurt Boyland and I’m the owner of Cedar Creek Counseling. That’s me with my wife Michelle in the above picture. I’d like to tell you a little about Cedar Creek Counseling and myself.

I am licensed by the state of Texas to practice marriage and family therapy. Therapy is not just for couples; approximately half of the people seeking services from Cedar Creek Counseling are individuals. The word therapy comes from the Greek word therapia which means “healing”. Marriage counseling and marital therapy can play a powerful role in the healing of broken relationships, stressed marriages, and fragmented families. The testimonials below highlight the changes that can occur in individual counseling and marital therapy.

The mission statement of Cedar Creek Counseling Services is “Helping families, couples, and individuals in the Abilene area achieve relational excellence and personal success”. Some of the obstacles to excellence are light and momentary, others are heartbreaking and seemingly never-ending: depression, divorce, anxiety, infidelity, chronic stress, pornography, marital conflict, school, grief and loss, employment, uncontrolled anger, and low sexual desire and intimacy. On the road to achieving excellence, success, and healing individuals or couples might begin to experience deeper connection and communication with loved ones, fewer fears and concerns about being rejected, and a greater sense of freedom of being able to choose things they wish not to do.

The offices of Cedar Creek Counseling are located in a house in between Abilene Christian University and Hendrick Medical Center. The creek with the same name as our office flows (and occasionally trickles!) about three blocks east.

That Cedar Creek Counseling is located in a house at the edge of a neighborhood means you might enjoy some of the comforts of home while visiting our offices: private covered parking, quiet waiting areas, freshly brewed coffee, and various sounds of nature.

If you are seeking greater intimacy and satisfaction in your marriage, relationships, or life, contact a professional at Cedar Creek Counseling Services.

MISSION STATEMENT

Helping families, couples, and individuals in the Abilene area achieve relational excellence and personal success.

MARRIAGE IS FREQUENTLY DIFFICULT

Disappointment, resentment, hurt, frustration, and boredom are often uninvited guests in most committed relationships. The tragedy of these experiences is not that they occur but that numerous voices in our lives try to convince us that something must be wrong with the marriage or the person. Irreconcilable differences are the reason behind many broken relationships and marriages. Cedar Creek Counseling Services believes differently. We believe that committed relationships are opportunities for individual and relational growth. Because of this, we believe that experiences such as frustration and unhappiness within a marital context are normal (albeit not preferred) and necessary: necessary for the growth of the individual and the relationship. Instead of harbingers of failure and termination, they are portends of hope, integrity, power, and greater love for self and one another.

If you are seeking a more satisfying, intimate marriage, contact a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Cedar Creek Counseling Services, PLLC. We offer counseling, therapy, and life and couple coaching in a comfortable, home setting for anyone yearning to fulfill their relational, spiritual, sexual and individual potential. We also offer compelling marital and intimacy workshops and classes for churches and civic groups.

COACHING: FOR INDIVIDUALS AND COUPLES ON THE GO!

What do you want in life? More fulfillment in your job? More romance? Better sex? Lose or gain weight? Start a new business?

Overcome a lingering habit? Contentment ? Save more money? If you want to experience dynamic change in your life then coaching may be for you. Coaching assists people to discover what they want in life and unlock their own brilliance to achieve it. Coaching is different than counseling in many ways. While counseling and therapy focuses occasionally on the past, coaching is future focused. Coaching is faster paced than counseling: Counseling is generally carried out in 50 minute sessions whereas coaching is conducted in fifteen or twenty minute time intervals. Coaching is not confined to a room. It can be conducted on the phone, in a restaurant, or on the go. Here's another way to think about it: Coaching is sometimes a part of counseling but counseling is rarely a part of coaching. The key difference between counseling and coaching is that counseling generally focuses on problem resolution while coaching emphasizes life enhancement. In other words, the starting points for each are generally different. Contact Cedar Creek Counseling to learn more how you can enhance your life and relationships through coaching.
