At different points in our life we can feel disconnected, alone, out of balance, more anxious, depressed, lost or confused.
There could also be a significant life event or change, or other times no idea what is causing feelings to arise.
The therapist at HSW Counseling use diverse therapy approaches to help you regain your balance and true sense of self.
We are trained in a variety of modalities but will create an individual plan that helps you achieve your goals.

Family problems, school issues, bullying, health problems, sadness, anger, stress and worry, low self esteem, grief, ADHD, depression, anxiety, self injury, disruptive behaviors and trauma related disorders are some reasons why you might consider bringing your child to therapy.
The therapist at HSW Counseling have a wide range of modalities to get your kids back on track and thriving again in their life.
Kids learn by doing so it may involve talking, art, sandplay and learning activities to focus on the needs.

There are "small T" traumas like being told you are not good enough over and over again, and "big T" traumas like war, abuse, rape, etc.
No matter the type and kind of trauma experienced it encodes in the brain the same way.
Trauma can disrupt your entire life and way of living.
HSW Counseling is extensively trained in providing trauma therapy with some staff having special training and certification in EMDR and Sandplay therapy.
Specialized therapy is needed in trauma cases in order to process, heal, and move forward in life.
