Counseling and Psychotherapy can be helpful when:
- You have a feeling that life could be more satisfying than it is, that you could feel better about yourself, feel less stressed, and more easily reach your potential goals.
- You are coping with stressful life events such as a relationship breakup or divorce, a sexual betrayal, the death of a loved one, or a chronic or life threatening illness.
- You feel depressed more days than not, and have tried all the things you know how to do to lift your mood without much success.
- You feel pain, shame and isolation as a result of a pattern of out-of-control behavior that affects your intimate relationships with others.
- You are experiencing a major change or transition, such as coming out, sexual orientation or gender questioning, career moves, or relationship status.
- You want to feel more effective and comfortable in relationships, to stop repeating the same problems with your partner or your children, parents, coworkers and friends.
- You feel stressed and anxious; are having difficulties at work or school, problems concentrating or sleeping, fighting with family members, and experiencing failing health.
- You feel as if life is too difficult to manage. You want to stop feeling trapped and victimized by your past. You wish you could move beyond haunting memories of early experiences such as growing up in a family with addictions or being abused as a child or adolescent.
- You want to gain greater insight into yourself. To discover why you behave in certain ways and to learn why certain experiences trigger feelings that seem to come from nowhere.
