Counseling: What's It All About?
Why Talk to a Counselor or Therapist?
Sometimes people need the space in which to discuss their difficulties or obstacles at a deeper level, exploring the roots and patterns of an issue. Counseling and psychotherapy can be of immense value in helping people towards a deeper understanding of themselves.
What is Counseling or Therapy?
Both are a collaborative effort between the practitioner and client. Each helps clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil. In addition, both types seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is a personal opportunity to receive support and experience growth during challenging times in life. This type of counseling can help one deal with many personal concerns.
Group Counseling
Group counseling allows one to find out that they are not alone in their type of life challenge. To be involved in a group of peers who are in a similar place not only increases one’s understanding of the struggles around the topic but also the variety in the possible solutions available.
How Does Counseling Help with Grief?
Counseling can help people cope with the loss of a spouse, parent, or other loved one. It may also help them manage feelings related to the loss of an unborn child or a nonhuman companion. Grief also occurs with other types of loss, like the dissolution of a relationship, which counseling may help.

Utilizing counseling or hypnotherapy, breathing, and relaxation techniques has been proven to ease symptoms (particularly when stress related).
Anger Management
