What counseling looks like
Counseling is a professionally-facilitated process designed to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for the purpose of improving your quality of life. Together we work to understand the causes, influences, and triggers behind challenges at home, in relationships, or at work, and to build proactive coping strategies and a stronger sense of well-being.
For people living with chronic illness, counseling can also help reduce stress to support the body's immune system and foster connection and community. With roots in HIV/AIDS care, our staff is specialty-trained in chronic disease and illness navigation.
Ways we work together
- Individual counseling: a personalized approach to psychotherapy, working through anxiety, depression, substance use, and fear of disclosure.
- Couples counseling: structured strategies for more effective communication through difficult situations.
- Group counseling: a safe, facilitated space to share experiences with others who understand.
- Teen & family counseling: support for young people and the people who care for them.
