People come to counseling for many different reasons expecting many different results. Some individuals come looking for coping strategies to deal with mental illness, others for life’s transition (move, divorce, retirement, job loss, etc.) and still others come looking for someone to offer space to process life challenges. Many seek the support of a therapist as they pursue their own personal exploration and growth. Other reasons individuals seek out counseling can include:

•    Relationship problems 

•    Difficulty sleeping  

•    Declining academic performance  

•    A recent traumatic event or loss 

•    Concerns about substance use 

•    Suicidal thoughts 

•    Difficulty functioning on a day-to-day basis
