Conflict Resolution

Who hasn’t faced a difficult situation or relationship, and wished we could have handled it differently?  We all have at some point in our work lives and relationships.  If you are interested in developing  a more  effective style, such as:

  • Assertiveness 

  • Taking “war” out of your words

  • Fostering “non-violent” communication 

  • Creating win-win situations

Depression and Anxiety

Depression and anxiety often go hand-in-hand, but not always.  If you are experiencing either of these and would like someone to help you sort it out, counseling may be beneficial for you.

Call 911 immediately if you are having thoughts of self-harm, suicide, or thoughts of harming others, or go to your nearest Hospital Emergency Department and ask for help.
