It's an opportunity to learn new skills that will help you cope with distressing emotions or to function better in relationships and other important areas of your life.

I grew up in a very dysfunctional family where alcohol and violence were significant problems. I spent two years in the Marines, which was rough and then my first marriage ended in divorce. I got some pastoral counseling, which helped, but in my late thirties I finally received professional counseling. That was the missing part of my becoming emotionally whole. I have 16 years total counseling experience and have worked with many types of problems. Since my personal problems were largely relationship/family oriented, those are some strong areas for my counseling, along with depression, anxiety, career, military life and anger.
