Life can present challenging moments, such as difficulties in relationships, a career path transition, or difficulty managing increased stress. Sometimes these challenges are ones that lead to personal self-reflection and growth. Other times, challenges can leave us feeling “stuck” or not knowing how to cope. Counseling can be very helpful to individuals who find themselves unable to cope with life’s demands and feeling unable to resolve those problems and challenges on their own. Counseling can also be beneficial when more serious challenges arise, such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and conflictual relationships, among other things.
