Professional Counseling
Professional counseling is an opportunity to receive individualized support for challenges in life and relationships. The goal of counseling is to be empowered to lead a more fulfilling and productive life. Counseling provides the space to identify goals and chart a path toward growth for topics such as:
​
-
Adjusting to major life changes such as a new life stage, betrayal in an intimate relationship, divorce, or the loss of a loved one.
-
Addressing relationship patterns that are distressing and feel out of control.
-
Creating boundaries around commitments, relationships, and time.
-
Developing strategies for addressing personal challenges like depression, anxiety, negative thinking, or having an overloaded life.
-
Defining life, career, or personal goals and the plans needed to meet those goals.
Some tips to get the most out of counseling:
-
Recognize that doing inner work takes both emotional and physical energy.
-
Commit to practicing new skills; this will impact how much growth you experience.
-
Practice active reflection – writing down key points from sessions, journaling, pondering questions and emotions that come up during and between sessions.
-
Consider what you would like your life to look like – counseling is not all about stopping a behavior or adjusting to a situation, it is about growing, becoming, and maturing.
