Not sure if counseling is right for you?
Each person is different, however goals of therapy typically are to improve mood, reduce anxiety and worry, strengthen self-esteem, improve ability to manage stress,work through educational barriers and social challenges, plan for career changes/new schools/college/graduation, process grief or challenging life circumstances (divorce, loss, moving, etc), improve relationship dynamics, improve communication techniques, strengthen and support parenting techniques (implement and maintain realistic expectations, structure, and boundaries), and to make smoother transitions in their lives.
Maple turned 1 in February 2016, and is working on her obedience and therapy training.
