Counseling is a collaborative process between a client and a clinician aimed at addressing and resolving personal or relational distress. Here's how it works: Initial Assessment: The process begins with an initial assessment where the counselor and client discuss the client’s concerns, goals, and background. This helps the counselor understand the client’s situation and develop a tailored approach so the counselor creates a safe, non-judgmental space where the client feels comfortable exploring the presenting problem. Treatment Planning: Together, the counselor and client set specific, achievable goals for therapy. These goals guide the counseling sessions and provide a clear direction for progress. Ongoing Sessions: Counseling typically involves regular sessions where the client and counselor work through the client’s issues, track progress, and adjust goals as needed. The frequency and duration of sessions can vary. Throughout the process, the counselor helps the client develop coping strategies and skills to manage their issues more effectively. Closure: Once the client has made significant progress and feels more equipped to handle their issues independently, the counseling process may come to an end. The counselor and client review the progress made and discuss strategies for maintaining. Counseling can be beneficial for a wide range of issues and can be a supportive process that empowers individuals to make positive changes in their lives.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. The trauma is not always directly related to the event that occurred but to the way we internally processed the event. Symptoms may include intrusive thoughts, avoidance, negative thinking and mood, physical or emotional reactions that might not match current circumstances.
Relationship problems are usually at the heart of distress and disruption. As human beings, we all want to be seen, heard, loved, valued and appreciated for who we authentically are and what we have to contribute to the tribe. Unmanaged relationship problems can lead to depression, anxiety and a variety of other mental, emotional and physical concerns.
Grief refers to the emotional response to a significant loss, often involving intense feelings of sadness, pain and longing. While commonly associated with the death of a loved one, grief can also result from other major life changes, such as divorce, job loss, or the end of a significant relationship.
