CounselingEqualsCourage

This is my first blog related to my counseling business. I wasn't really sure what to start writing about. My first thought was to keep it simple and talk plainly about counseling and mental health therapy from my perspective.
​So here it goes...
People who search for and are in need of the services I provide are most often experiencing problems.  What kinds of problems? Just about anything; they are sick of being in a bad/sad mood, tired of worrying about everything, their children aren't doing what they are supposed to, they are re-thinking their marriage or relationship, they are trying to recover from some horrific life experience, or they have had it with things from their past dictating how they are living in the present. But they all share one thing in common. Their problems are life problems. Maybe they have their problem pinpointed or maybe they just aren't sure but know something is not right in their life. The people I work with have tools to solve problems like everyone else. They also have a tool that many people forget. That tool is courage. It takes courage to ask for help. It's not easy, but when they ask for help, they have just taken a GIANT step toward becoming the change they not only want to see in themselves, but in the rest of their lives!
