A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.—J. A. Shedd. Are you or someone you care about feeling anxious, sad, worried or maybe just stuck? Perhaps it’s a relationship conflict, school anxiety or a phase of life issue. Do the thoughts of what to do or how to help just leave you feeling more confused and exhausted?

It takes courage to face our personal challenges and not be “stuck in the harbor”.

Often times, a crisis occurs when a client experiences a duality between his or her inner world and the external environment in which he or she lives in. This client may be going through a life transition related to loss of a loved one, job loss, aging, or even changes in health conditions.
