People
seek counseling for many different reasons: a
crisis, a loss, a major life change, to sort things
out to have a happier life, or to improve relationships.
Counseling begins with an initial meeting with the therapist
to gather information and history in order to develop
a plan to meet each individual's/family's needs.
Counseling may include individual, group, and/or family
sessions.
Each
session lasts approximately one hour. A person
may come to counseling once or twice or may choose to
continue counseling until they have met their goals
for life improvement.

Children often have a difficult time "talking"
about their feelings. A variety of methods including
art, play and family therapy are used to help children
express their feelings and solve problems. Teenagers
are often helped by having individual sessions, participating
in a group, or by family therapy. Teenagers can
help the therapist decide what works best for them.

or psychology. Each is licensed by the State of Florida
