I have struggled with depression for a long time. I had even seen other counselors. Randy Simmonds helped me realize that for me, I was really struggling with a crisis of faith and how I fit into God's love. Finding those answers helped me find the peace I had been searching for for years.

Our marriage seemed like more of a struggle than anything else.
By the time we came in for counseling, both of us were thinking that divorce was the only solution.
But it did not take us long to figure out that we had not really been communicating very well, or rather, that we were not hearing what the other person was saying and we were making assumptions that were just not valid.
By learning how to listen and hear each other, we were able to rediscover the love that had brought us together in the first place.

Is psychotherapy for me?
There are several approaches to psychotherapy - including cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, psycho-dynamic and other kinds of "talk therapy" - that can help you deal with the challenges life has put in front of you.

Things in my life were pretty screwed up, and when my parents told me I was going to see a counselor, I wanted to tell them to shove it.
Working with Meredith Van Ness was completely different than what I thought.
She actually got it.
She helped me figure some stuff out too.
And she gave me some tools which have really helped me cope.
Now my life feels a little less out of control, and things are really looking up.
Some people think of childhood as an easy, carefree time.
But children do have problems and feel stress.

I had never realized how much alcohol was affecting my life until I started working with April Wilson.
Through her non-judgmental approach, I was able to begin examining what was happening, not just to me, but to all the people I loved.
Whether it is chocolate, caffeine, nicotine, exercise, sex, gambling, alcohol, prescriptions, or a street drug, all of us at one time or another probably have wondered if we were addicted to something.
The idea of relying on something to make us feel better or dull the pain is a concept we can all relate to.

I came into counseling when my mother died unexpectedly.
It was like having the rug pulled out from under me.
Suddenly, I did not know who I was any more.
I had not realized how important my mother was to my own self-identity.
I had a lot of crying to do, and I had a lot of questions to answer about what my own life was about.
Bryan Austill at the Center led me through my grieving process and set me on the path of self discovery.
Not an easy path, but I could not have done it without Bryan.
There is no greater life-changing loss than the death of someone who has been a significant and important part of your life.
