Sometimes people need help in dealing with long-standing emotional struggles, or problems with anxiety or depression. Other times someone wants help in response to unexpected changes in their life such as marital distress, work transition, or significant loss. Many seek the advice of a counselor as they pursue personal growth and spiritual direction. Working with a therapist can help provide support, insight, and new strategies and tools for all types of life’s challenges. Counseling can help address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict and difficulty communicating, grief, stress management, body-image issues, spiritual growth, and general life transitions.
