Help You Feel Better         

As we age, sometimes there are issues that we would like to discuss outside of our family systems and friends.  This is where counseling can be of value.  A counselor is trained to provide emotional support and guidance as needed.  Sometimes we don’t know where to start and just need a sounding board.  What’s important is that we break the silence and make the first call.  You will feel better.

Elders seek counseling for the following concerns:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Concerns related to changes in health or mental status
• Coping with a loss of family or friends
• Concerns related alternative housing
• Starting a new relationship
• Learn about various programs for elders
