Our
counselors are committed to improving the
level of emotional health and functioning of the individual, couple or
family by building self-esteem and interpersonal skills through a variety of
assessment and counseling methods. We
recognize each person as unique individuals and we are committed to helping
them assess their strengths and weaknesses and assist them in building on
those areas which are most helpful to their life situation.
The counseling process involves utilization of an initial assessment to
identify areas interfering with healthy behaviors and choices.
Social skills education and the use of Reality Therapy principles are
used to assist individuals in taking responsibility for their actions and
then learning to make more effective choices. Counseling provides insight
and assistance in developing and implementing behavioral plans to enhance
the individual, couple or family’s mental health and thus their quality of
life.
Child
& Family Services therapists also have had extensive training in
bullying issues and are available to assist youth who bully others or who
are being subjected to bullying. Therapists
are available to work with schools and organizations, presenting programs on
the topic of bullying as a societal issue.
