Anxiety. Depression. Anger. Apathy. Substance Abuse. Relationship Issues.
The kinds of concerns that bring a person into counseling can affect all of us – in fact, most people suffer from some kind of emotional or mental difficulty at some point in their lives.
You may be troubled by intrusive thoughts, strong emotions (or lack of emotion), or behaviors that feel like they’re getting out of control. You may have a sense that something is very wrong – or might be – and you want someone to talk to.
But who?
It can be hard to reveal your hopes and fears, even to the people you love. Perhaps especially to the people you love. You may worry they won’t like what they hear, or can’t handle it, or won’t know how to help. You might be afraid they’ll leave you if they knew the truth. Or maybe you’ve tried to talk, but it didn’t work out, and you ended up feeling worse.
It’s possible you’ve been hoping it will just go away, but it hasn’t.
The good news is that you don’t have to be alone with this. Talking with a professional counselor can bring clarity, perspective, hope, and relief. Often, the simple act of saying out loud what we keep inside has a curative effect. At other times, talking is just the beginning of a series of new moves, new experiments and new experiences that put you on the road to a more satisfying life.
As a skilled and compassionate counselor, I listen without judgment or prejudice. Your agenda is my agenda: My interest is strictly to clarify what you want and help you get it.
You can manage the challenges you face. Give me a call, so we can work together to get you back on track.
