Counseling For Individuals
We all struggle. It’s an inevitable part of the human experience and a primary force of change in people’s lives. But when challenging experiences are approached with understanding, curiosity, awareness, and respect, they can reveal valuable insights and practical solutions that inspire meaning and resiliency. Counseling offers a safe and structured space for these potentials to unfold, step by step. It invites you to look closely and feel more deeply, to tap into your unique gifts, hidden strengths, and inherent creativity and use them all to forge a meaningful path forward.
Counseling For Pregnancy, Birth, & Postpartum Transitions
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are exciting and tender times of transition. Your body is stretching, your identity is expanding, your relationships are shifting. You are quite literally embodying a new phase of life and all of this change, vulnerability, and uncertainty can be overwhelming. It takes courage to become a parent, and it takes support. Counseling offers a protected space where you can safely explore all of your thoughts, feelings, and choices.
Counseling During COVID-19
The pandemic has upended our normal ways of functioning and for many this has been a disorienting time of worry, upheaval, isolation, financial instability, and health concerns. People everywhere are grieving personal and collective losses, grappling with the stress of persistent uncertainty, and reassessing how they’ve been living their lives. During these unstable times, counseling can offer you a reliable, thought-provoking connection so you can take stock of your emotions, reflect on what’s important, and tap into inner sources of stability. These may be strange times, but they offer ample opportunity for you to discover new strengths and future directions.
Counseling For Helping Professionals
If you’ve chosen a profession committed to the well-being or protection of others, it can be challenging to balance client needs with your own self-care and sustainability. Being of service to others is fulfilling work, but helping professionals are also more vulnerable to burnout, compassion fatigue, and emotional exhaustion. Counseling offers a container for your own self-care, for examining changes that may be needed, and discovering ways to revitalize your approach.
