Counseling and psychotherapy

Mental health counseling isn’t just for people who struggle with mental health, but for anyone who has concerns about mental health at any given time. Whether you have stress in your life, problems with a relationship, or anything else that weighs on your mind, you can benefit from mental health counseling.

The counseling process is like an educational experience. The patient learns more about him/herself and gains new skills. Counseling also sometimes includes learning about certain conditions such as depression, anxiety, compounded stressors, eating disorders, and grief and loss so that one can understand the treatment options.

Our team tailors each session to meet your family’s unique and individual needs.

A mental illness is a condition that affects a person’s thinking, feeling or mood. Such conditions may affect someone’s ability to relate to others and function each day. Each person will have different experiences, even people with the same diagnosis.

Recovery, including meaningful roles in social life, school and work, is possible, especially when you start treatment early and play a strong role in your own recovery process. A mental health condition isn’t the result of one event. Research suggests multiple, linking causes. Genetics, environment and lifestyle influence whether someone develops a mental health condition. A stressful job or home life makes some people more susceptible, as do traumatic life events like being the victim of a crime. Biochemical processes and circuits and basic brain structure may play a role, too.
