The services we offer:
Counseling: It
is not
long term
and is usually no more than 1 to 3
months. The focus is on single or recurrent problems that are
overwhelming or traumatic. If a trauma or crisis is not resolved in a
healthy manner, the experience can lead to more lasting psychological,
social and medical problems. Crisis counseling provides education,
guidance and support. Crisis counseling is not a substitute for
individuals who need and are not receiving intensive or long term
psychiatric care. Crisis counseling may involve outreach,
work with in a community and is not limited to office appointments.
There are many descriptions and a great deal written about crisis intervention and crisis counseling. Regardless of the theory and author, there are universal "elements" in the process by which a crisis counselor can help people face and move past distressing and trauamatic events in their lives.
