One of the greatest pains in life is not knowing. Not knowing how to deal with a challenging situation...a troubled relationship, a traumatic experience, or unexplained mood swings. Maybe your child, or a child you know is being bullied...maybe you just want to help yourself, a family member/friend through a difficult life transition. Well, there is one thing you should know, there's HOPE (not just a cliché). As the owner of HOPE's Corner Counseling I believe in providing the most up-to-date counseling strategies to meet your unique needs & rebuild your HOPE.

One of the bravest choices a person can make is to come to counseling. What I hope is that the time together is where you will feel listened to, feel safe, and know you are not along as we explore why you have come.

For parents of struggling adolescents and teenagers, it can be stressful, frustrating, and even scary to observe changes in your child’s mood, behavior, and personality. At first it may have seemed like their complaints about friends, difficulties with school, and general moodiness was just a phase of teen angst, but as your adolescent or teenager's self-confidence, school performance, social activity, and motivation dwindle, so does your confidence in your ability to help them. You’ve tried everything you can think of to make them feel better and help them get back on track, and you feel overwhelmed when nothing seems to work.

Anxiety controls you. You’ve tried to stop it. That did not work. It just keeps getting worse. HELP! Can you ever get a break?

"Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness." - Peter A. Levine.
