Adolescent Counseling

Teenagers have to deal with acceptances from both peers and family members, academic success, transitioning to new chapters of life whether it is school and or activities.  In addition, they have stress that accompanies social media, peer pressure concerning drugs and alcohol as well as whether or not to participate in various forms of sexual activity.  As a result of these pressures, they may be depressed and struggle with anxiety due to all that surrounds them.  The behaviors of adolescents may leave parents feeling as if they have failed their child and they may not recognize the child they are raising.

It is important that the adolescents have someone that they can trust who is able to have a different perspective and who can help them to help themselves by using various interventions and strategies that will help them to gain the confidence needed to enter the world of adulthood successfully.  In addition, parents may need someone who is able to not only help them to communicate with their adolescent but give them strategies as well that will help them to communicate as they learn how to support their adolescent.  

Young Adult Counseling Services

Are you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed and like no one understands you?  You are like a hamster on a wheel that keeps going but you are remaining stagnate.  Perhaps you are entering a new phase of life or you are doing the same thing that you have been doing for years and you are not where you thought you would be?  Maybe you feel unprepared to handle the current challenges you face and you are dreading facing new ones.  You have spoken with you family and friends but they are unable to assist.  What should you do?

We are here to help you meet your needs by utilizing our expertise and various counseling strategies to give you support that is personalized to meet your needs which could range from anxiety and depression to career planning and goal setting.  

Premarital/Couples Counseling

There are times in a relationship when you realize that the conversations do not come as easy as they did in the past.  You may feel lonely; they don't understand you; you aren't seen in the relationship; etc. due to lack of communication and affection.  The children and their activities have taken over what used to be your time together.  You find that you do not know each other anymore.  Years have passed and you do not recognize the person that you married.  You have resentment over things you have not addressed or you are angry and you do not know how to tell them.  Perhaps you are thinking of a divorce but you are hesitant because of the children and or the current state of your finances.  Did you tell them that you forgave the affair but you really thing about it everyday?  How could they let someone else into your marriage? You want to trust them but you don't know how to.

Let us help you navigate those waters.  Relationships are difficult and often times we need someone to help us communicate what we may not know how to say.  We are able to provide a safe environment whether in the office or via telehealth that allows you to see each other's perspectives and work to establish the trust that has been broken.
