Counseling <strong>Services</strong><br />
Why go to counseling? COUNSELING is an opportunity to gain selfawareness<br />
<strong>and</strong> use life’s difficulties to create growth <strong>and</strong> change. Talking<br />
to a counselor can help you carefully analyze troublesome situations, gain<br />
new perspectives, <strong>and</strong> explore options previously not considered. It can<br />
help you process feelings <strong>and</strong> heal from past losses. Deciding to go see a counselor<br />
does not mean that a person is “crazy” or that he or she is weak-willed. Making the<br />
choice to see a counselor is courageous <strong>and</strong> an act <strong>of</strong> personal empowerment.<br />
Individual counseling can help you:<br />
• Improve relationships<br />
• Improve self-esteem<br />
• Resolve/change unhealthy patterns <strong>and</strong> addictions<br />
• Become more creative <strong>and</strong> productive<br />
• Decrease feelings <strong>of</strong> anxiety <strong>and</strong> depression<br />
• Clarify life direction<br />
• Get "unstuck"<br />
Counseling <strong>and</strong> therapy can help address nagging issues in your life<br />
including:<br />
• Job/school stress<br />
• Anger management<br />
• Addictions<br />
• Abuse/trauma<br />
• Spirituality<br />
• Sexuality<br />
• Life transitions<br />
• Grief <strong>and</strong> loss<br />
