About Counseling

"What is Counseling"?
Simply put, it is a way to enrich your life. Counseling can increase emotional, mental and physical well-being. It can improve relationships and enhance the quality of day to day living. Counseling and psychotherapy restores hope and gives direction as individuals and families address personal and emotional challenges.

We provide a setting of safety, confidentiality and acceptance. This allows the client to fully explore what they want to talk about. Together, the counselor and the client will create new ways to effectively find the best choice of action. Think of a counselor as a different kind of personal trainer.

“Can Counseling Help Me?”
Yes it can. Maybe you've heard of people going to counseling and because of a stigma or belief that it was for people with "real problems," you hesitated to contact a therapist. Counseling teaches truly effective ways to deal with common, everyday irritations as well as more entrenched patterns of living. The Banyan Tree can help you with what prompted you to look into our services.

“Who Are Your Typical Clients?”
Our Typical clients are between the ages of 10 – 45+. They come to improve their lives in many different areas. Almost all of our clients are intelligent, successful, kind, loving people who want to improve their personal, career or family lives. They may have relationship problems, addictions, parenting challenges, difficulties managing stress or anxiety, or are learning to cope better with any of life's difficulties such as illness, finding meaning in life, transitions and decision making. We frequently work with middle and high school age students addressing a variety of concerns. We also see people in all phases of their relationships from pre-commitment to divorce and beyond.

As you can see, counseling is helpful for just about anything life presents to you. If we don't work with your particular concern, we will help you find someone who does. So, whatever you're facing, please contact us. You will be taking a big first step to living the life you want to live!
