Adults

Are you overwhelmed? 

Have loved ones suggested that you might benefit from counseling?

Do you have trouble functioning at work or at home?

Are past issues flooding to the surface?

Is your behavior getting the best of you?

It is normal for all of us to answer yes to one or more of these questions at some point in our lives. The good news is that the counseling process is designed to provide support and guidance at these critical moments. 

Emotions – “I feel awful!”

We face many challenges throughout our life – relationship conflict, betrayals, job changes, death of loved ones, health changes, and family issues – to name just a few.  These situations can derail us emotionally, leaving us feeling irritable, depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed.  Depression and anxiety can also be caused by childhood abuse or trauma, genetic vulnerability and family history, or biochemistry.  Regardless of why you might be feeling emotionally stuck, counseling has been shown to be beneficial and provides a bridge toward healing.

Relationships – “I am troubled by my relationships.”

Relationships have a tremendous impact on all of us.  They have the power to hurt us deeply but can also be a source of strength. When our relationships suffer from conflict and misunderstanding, they can become toxic to our emotional health.  Working with a counselor collaboratively to identify your relational patterns can be the beginning of your journey toward healing.

Behaviors – “My behavior is out of control.”

When we are experiencing pain, our natural tendency is to numb the negative feelings.  Most of us have a “go to” behavior to block pain – using alcohol or other substances, shopping, isolating, gaming, surfing the internet.  These behaviors and others like them steer us away from identifying our true feelings and working them through with safe people in our lives. 

Are numbing behaviors controlling you more than you are controlling them?  Are your friends and family asking you to change your behavior?  Counseling is uniquely designed to help you identify and change behaviors that are doing more harm than good in your life.
