Emotional and Mental Health

Do you or is anyone you know suffering from sadness, stress, anger, or grief and has not been able to overcome it? 

Some signs of stress or depression are: too little or too much sleep, poor appetite, drastic increase/ decrease in weight, nightmares, feeling hopeless and helpless, chest pain, and other physical pain without a medical cause (need to reword this in simpler terms).  Our counselors/therapists are here to help.

What is counseling?

Counseling/Psychotherapy is a private and confidential appointment with a professional staff and/ or volunteer with a Masters degree, who is trained to listen to your needs in a non-judgmental manner.  This is your time to explore what is causing you to feel unhappy and how you can make things better in your life.  Too often, we receive well intended advise from loved ones, when instead all we want is to feel understood.  We are hear to listen and help you see your own strengths.  You are free to talk about issues revolving around work, family, friends, career, health, trauma, and more.
