Individual, couples and family therapy is available in Clinical Counselors. Counseling sessions are tailored in order to meet the unique needs of each client.

Marital Issues
Some married people avoid expressing their unhappiness to keep peace. Although well intentioned, concealing your feelings and pain from your spouse can cause serious harm to your marriage. Learn effective tools to better communication and a happier marriage.

Family Problems
Families often enter counseling because of conflict or communication concerns with one or more family members. The main goals of family counseling are to improve communication and understanding, work toward conflict resolution, increase respect for each other, and grow as individuals.

Adjustment
There are times when people experience emotional or behavioral symptoms that occur in response to a specific stressor (as divorce or unemployment). Counseling can help you through these stressful experiences without having to endure significant social, academic or occupational distress.

Depression
The most common sign of depression is a sad mood. Other common symptoms include feelings of worthlessness, low self-esteem, hopelessness about the future, suicidal thoughts, fatigue, loss of energy, sleep difficulties, and weight changes.

Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are illnesses that cause people to feel frightened, distressed and uneasy for no apparent reason. They may cause or exacerbate uncontrollable obsessive thoughts, painful intrusive memories, recurring nightmares, excessive and chronic worry and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Some physical symptoms may include: nausea, sweating, muscle tension, pounding heart, shortness of breath and other uncomfortable physical symptoms.

Anger
Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems...problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. Learn effective tools to reduce the emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions.

Assertiveness Training
Do you often find that others coerce you into thinking their way? Is it difficult for you to express your positive or negative feelings openly and honestly? Do you sometimes lose control and become angry at others who don't warrant it? Learn how to express your thoughts and feelings in a way that clearly states your needs and keeps the lines of communication open with the other.

Behavior Problems
All children have episodes of inappropriate behavior, some more frequently and severely and others less. Learn the basis behind the inappropriate behavior and effective ways to manage and reduce the frequency and severity of any behavioral problem.

Chronic Pain
When you are in pain, it is natural to feel angry, sad, hopeless, and/or depressed. Pain can alter your personality, disrupt your sleep, and interfere with your work and relationships. Counseling provides a safe, non-drug method to treat your pain directly by reducing high levels of physiological stress that often aggravate pain.

Parenting
Learn effective parenting techniques and how to be consistent in what you say and the rules that you set out. Learn how best to improve communication with your children and implement consistent and rewarding parenting skills.

Grief and Personal Loss
Some symptoms of grief and personal loss that require counseling can often be associated with the following symptoms: Grieving for 4 months or more and you aren't feeling any better, depression, grief is so intense that you feel you can't go on with your normal activities, your grief is affecting your ability to concentrate, sleep, eat, or socialize as you normally do, and/or you feel you can't go on living after the loss or you think about suicide, dying, or hurting yourself.
