Hey, when life gets tough and you've tried everything you can think of to find the answers and solve the problems, it's okay to look for help. Trying to find a good therapist, one that listens, understands, encourages, and supports you can be challenging. I encourage you to give me a call. Ask me questions and find out for yourself that I am a caring therapist and I enjoy helping others. I will focus on you and your specific concerns. I can help you with decreasing anxiety, improving moods, managing stress, depression, grief, and anger. So call me at 724.471.8171. Barbara Elkin, You will feel much better!
Let me explain how therapy works when I am your counselor. First we focus on getting to know one another by building a client-counselor relationship focused on honesty and trust. Once you have explained your needs we will make a plan with goals to work toward. I will explain different types of skills for you to try in daily life to see if they are helpful.
Most of all I want you to feel better about you. Successful counseling is determined by you feeling better with a more positive self esteem, feeling competent, more capable, worthwhile and more confident. YOU can do this! Let me, help you reach your goals! Thank you! Barbara Elkin
