HOLOS COUNSELING

People come to therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Many seek the help of a professional when they are experiencing some kind of challenge or crisis, such as a difficult transition, relationship problem, grief or loss, anxiety, depression or in response to a traumatic event. Others seek relief from suffering or for help resolving a persistent problem. Others still are struggling with accepting an aspect of their life or a situation that they are having a hard time tolerating.Some clients come to therapy as a means of seeking a deeper understanding of life’s experiences. Counseling can support you personal growth, enhance and deepen your relationships or can be an ongoing place to process the stressors of daily life.Whatever it is that brings you to seek counseling or psychotherapy, you can expect that I will provide you with compassion, respect and understanding.

I will assess your situation and we will formulate a plan for helping you cope with, accept, get relief from or resolve your situation.Counseling may be short term in nature, focusing on a particular issue, or it may be longer term to explore more complex issues or patterns or to dig a little deeper or for ongoing personal growth work.
