Frequently Asked Questions
How
do I know if I really need counseling?
People come to counseling for a variety of reasons. No problem
is too small. If you think it might be helpful to talk to
a professional - try it!
Most people come to therapy because
of relationship difficulties. Relationships
are what give us meaning and pleasure (and sometimes pain
and unhappiness) in our lives. Problems can be with a spouse,
significant other, friend, parent, child, boss or co-worker.
Any of these relationship issues may be helped by therapy.
