Counseling & Life Skills

Why Counseling?

Most people struggle sometimes with life’s challenges and experiences, such as:

  • Anxiety or depression
  • Conflict at home
  • Bullying or other problems at school
  • Anger management
  • Behavior problems
  • Parenting challenges
  • Running away
  • Grief/loss
  • Unique traumatic experiences

Counseling can take place in-person or online. Evening appointments available. You work with the counselor to determine how often you will meet and for how long.

I thank Angelica for being a wonderful counselor and for always being there for me and talking things out…I also thank her for helping me and my mom to get closer and better understand one another.
