Everyone at some time has feelings and problems that they may not be able to carry alone. Some people even become so unhappy or upset that they may become a problem to themselves or others. We will listen closely to you, help you express your feelings, identify solutions and think through decisions. Many people have been helped through times of trouble and sadness by sharing concerns with someone else. Modern medication may also be of some benefit to you. If you feel that you could use this kind of help, we believe you are showing strength, not weakness, to ask for help.
