Imagine a butterfly and its humble, confined life in a cocoon before taking off in flight as one of the world’s most beautiful creatures. We can help a happier you emerge, despite the roads you have traveled or the challenges you face.
Consider the experience of Nia (whose name is changed in this profile to protect her privacy).
Nia spent years in college happily majoring in a field that interested her. Yet, upon graduation, she gave in to her strong-willed parents’ pressure to duplicate their career path.
With therapy and counseling, Nia was able to overcome long-term feelings of inadequacy, be comfortable around authority figures, stand up for her true feelings, develop the courage to apply for her dream job, accept that new career path and soar. She also, through therapy, has come to love her husband, appreciate their marriage and children
We view Nia as a butterfly in flight.
All therapy is designed to help individuals understand their problems, reduce stress and make the necessary life-style adjustments.
All services are available at the most convenient and comfortable setting for those we serve, including hospitals, institutions, training program sites, our offices or a client agency’s natural setting. Our building is fully accessible to handicapped individuals.
