Individual, Couple and Family Counseling Topics
The below are some of the kinds of issues I offer counseling for. While these topics do represent what many think of when they think of counseling (and I do help many people with these kinds of struggles), I believe people are more complex (and more important) than particular labels or symptoms. In other words, I do not define people by their struggles, but rather seek to help them define themselves by who they truly are (i.e., a person of value, with certain personality characteristics, and a variety of strengths and weaknesses). So rather than being something that defines a person, I think that lists like the below are best treated as a starting point for beginning to make sense of where one is at, as part of discovering where it is one wishes to go.
