The Different Kinds of Counseling at Philly Family Life Counseling
General Counseling – If you’re looking for someone to talk to, are having trouble coping, are experiencing a change in your mental health, or just need a neutral space to discuss an issue you’re facing, general counseling is an option for you.
Grief – If you’ve recently experienced a loss, grief counseling may be best for you. Grief is a natural feeling after the death of a loved one, a breakup, a loss of a job or relationship, but when it starts to inhibit your everyday life, it may be time to seek grief counseling.
Addiction – Struggling with addiction or recovery? Affected by someone in your life who struggles with addiction? An addiction counselor can help you overcome struggles specific to those who have experience with addiction and substance-abuse.
Depression or Anxiety – One in five adults struggle with mental health. You don’t have to do it alone. If feelings of depression and anxiety are affecting your everyday life and your relationships, a counselor can help you work through those feelings, confide in someone, and take steps to manage overwhelming feelings.
Family – A family counselor can help in matters that affect your familial relationships. Families often have complex dynamics that can unintentionally turn toxic and abusive when left unexamined. An outside perspective may be what your family needs to work through issues in your home.
Marriage and Relationship – Conflict and arguing in relationships is natural and expected, but if it these conflicts start to affect your everyday life, relationship counseling can offer a neutral space to listen, learn, and work toward mending the cracks in your relationship.
