COUNSELING CAN HELP
Feeling alone? Struggling to figure out what direction you want to take? Feeling scared, anxious or worried? Have a loved one or child who may be struggling? Are they cranky, have trouble sleeping, cry more easily, or show changes in their behavior or attitude? Counseling can help with a wide range of difficulties, from overwhelming and difficult feelings, to more severe symptoms and behaviors. We work to meet you where you are at, to help you to develop attainable goals and to provide the support and guidance you need to feel better as soon as possible. Many people are struggling with life changes related to a move, change in jobs or schools, loss, grief and financial challenges. Often, they just need the support and understanding of an neutral person. A quote that gives me hope: "Sometimes in the winds of change we find our true direction."
HOW DOES
COUNSELING WORK?
Therapy can be intimidating and many people start out feeling self-conscious, unsure of where to start or what to do. Fortunately, there is no 'right' way to do counseling. Therapy is different for everyone because it is based on the issues you bring to sessions and it's tailored to your goals. You may want to vent, get another opinion, gain more insight into how your emotions effect your behavior or just get the support you need to grow, change or feel content.
