TYPES OF COUNSELING

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
 Individual counseling is a personal opportunity to receive
support and experience growth during challenging times in
life. Individual counseling can help one deal with many
personal topics in life such as anger, depression, anxiety,
substance abuse, marriage and relationship challenges,
parenting problems, school difficulties, career changes etc.

COUPLES COUNSELING
 Every couple experience ups and downs in their levels of
closeness and harmony over time. This can range from
basic concerns of stagnation to serious expressions of
aggressive behavior. Marriage counseling or couples
counseling can help resolve conflicts and heal wounds.
Overall, couples counseling can help couples slow down
their spiral and reestablish realistic expectations and goals.

FAMILY COUNSELING
 Family counseling is often sought due to a life change or
stress negatively affecting one or all areas of family
closeness, family structure (rules and roles) or
communication style. This mode of counseling can take a
variety of forms. Sometimes it is best to see an entire family
together for several sessions. Common issues addressed in
family counseling are concerns around parenting, sibling
conflict, and loss of family members, new members entering
the family, dealing with a major move or a general change
affecting the family system.

GROUP COUNSELING
 Group counseling allows one to find out that they are not
alone in their type of life challenge. To be involved in a group
of peers who are in a similar place not only increases one
understands of the struggles around the topic but also the
variety in the possible solutions available. Typically, groups
have up to eight participants, one or two group leaders, and
revolve around a common topic like: anger management,
self-esteem, divorce, and domestic violence, recovery from
abuse and trauma, and substance abuse and recovery.
