Counseling
When things go wrong, people often need the assistance of a professional counselor to help them identify strengths, consider options, assess choices and break away from old behavior patterns. Professional, confidential counseling helps individuals, couples and families cope with the pressures of today’s world.
Counseling can help you change many of your uncomfortable feelings into more comfortable ones. Other times, people talk with counselors to help them with decisions they are trying to make or problems they are trying to solve. Through counseling, you learn to better understand your feelings. What’s more, counselors treat your conversations as special and private. Only in emergency situations (child abuse or threats of suicide/homicide) would a counselor need to report to someone else something you have said.
When Do I Need Counseling?
If things you are feeling or doing begin to interfere with your normal everyday activities, you may need counseling. The following are signs you may need support.
-
Sudden changes in mood or behavior
-
Depression-feeling unhappy for a long time
-
Anxiety-strong feelings of fear or nervousness
