Individuals-Adults and Adolescents
Adults may experience distress for any number of reasons. It may be their relationship, finances, past or current traumatic event, family, work, and so many others. These challenges can be overwhelming and at time debilitating, which can lead to ineffective and unhealthy coping. We’re here to help and support you navigate through these challenges, learn healthy coping strategies, and ultimately find peace.
At Serenity and Grace Counseling, we see adolescents 13-19 years of age. Adolescents, similar to adults, are experiencing stress throughout life's journey. They are testing their limits and independence, and trying to discover themselves! On top of school stressors like homework, grades, peer pressure, bullying, test anxiety and possible learning difficulties, they are still going through significant mental and emotional developmental stages. Adolescents may benefit from counseling in a variety of ways, such as identifying the root of their stress, developing ways to express and cope with their emotions in a healthy way, and improving communication and problem solving skills. We also help them learn how to set boundaries with others and themselves.
Couples
If you're part of a couple in distress, you may feel that there's no way out of your troubled situation. Unfortunately, most couples wait to seek counseling until they are at a point of ending the relationship. Even then, it is not too late to reach out for help, support and guidance.
Couples counseling can be an opportunity to stop playing the "blame game" and really explore the dynamics of the relationship. Couples will explore how they behave with each other by exploring their communication and attachment styles, love languages, conflict- resolution skills, as well as other factors that have a direct impact on the relationship. Couples will learn to share their feelings in a safe environment, as communication is one of the keys to intimacy.
At times, couples experience infidelity, sexual differences, addiction, emotional distance, and variety of other events. Couples counseling can help in moving forward, repairing and restoring the relationship.
College and Career Counseling
As a high school counselor and someone who has worked with students planning their post-high school life, I am thrilled to offer affordable College and Career Counseling at Serenity and Grace Counseling. This is often a huge stressor for parents and students, as many of our kids are striving to get into to top colleges and receive top scholarships, but many wonder where to even begin! Well, that is where we come in. We will sit with you and your student and design a plan tailored to them for their college and career dreams.
