Life’s challenges don’t always respond to our usual strategies or the advice we seek from friends and family. Some situations require shorter-term solutions while others need deeper exploration and longer-term work. That’s where counseling comes in—an opportunity to speak with a neutral third party who can listen, empathize, and introduce new perspectives and skills to help you work through the challenges with support.

You may be finding it difficult to self-regulate your emotions, behaviors, and/or attention, which is negatively impacting your relationships, performance at work or school, and overall health and well-being. You may struggle with people pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination/avoidance, or isolation. These behaviors were developed to protect yourself from internalized shame and guilt, but ultimately you feel burned out, exhausted, and unfulfilled. This is not how you want to live. You want to understand and accept yourself, create more balance, and feel more empowered in your daily life.

Welcome to the first step in helping yourself. Therapy can be intimidating at first. It takes strength and awareness to ask for help. It is that strength that will help you through your situation. Through the counseling process, you can simplify and manage your life so it can be enjoyed vs. tolerated. Valued concepts are safety, self-care, confidentiality, and communication. New Orleans Counseling and Hypnosis Center emphasizes the importance of the safe relationship between client and therapist. Psycho-education is also used to encourage and develop healthy coping skills and self-care. Register at www.counselingnola.com to start your self care today!

Struggling with finding your true voice? Hesitant to make the best decision for yourself? Spending too much time worrying about what family, friends, or coworkers think or what they'd expect of you? Take a deep breath... Life is complicated. Balancing work, family, relationships, living life for others can overshadow living for oneself. It's not selfish, it's selfcare. It's important to take the time to address your personal needs and often caring for others can get in the way of doing so. Through a Therapeutic Alliance, Counseling creates a space where sorting through life's challenges and establishing balance becomes possible.
