Services Offered

While family can be a wonderful source of support and love for many, each one faces difficulties at one time or another. Perspectives Counseling offers numerous services under the umbrella of Family Counseling. They provide support for those navigating unique situations, such as divorce or joining a blended family. Their trained counselors provide time for families to work through these concerns with the goal of harmony.

Mental health is often very personal, too, and individuals may struggle in one particular area or another. Some areas where more focused counseling can be provided include alcoholism, anxiety, eating disorders, and self-esteem, among many others.

Workshops Available

Perspectives Counseling also offers many workshops designed to target specific needs and produce successful outcomes.

One such workshop is the Teen EDGE program. This program is for teens who may struggle with anxiety, depression, or self-harm and places them in an environment where they can begin to rethink some previously held beliefs about themselves. For eight weeks, counselors work alongside them to show that they are worthy individuals who are in control of their lives and futures.

Another great workshop is the Academic Motivation program. In this program, counselors work with students at all grade levels, including college, to better their classroom outcomes. Time management, organization skills, and cognitive-behavioral therapy are all components that are used. Since this workshop is only for one day, it can easily fit into a student’s schedule.
