There are undoubtedly times in everyone's lives when stress factors rise and coping resources run low. Individual counseling with a trusted therapist can be one component of the healing needed to begin to balance our lives.
Individuals come to counseling to address a variety of issues including:
• Personal Challenges
• Anxiety, Depression, and other Mood
Disorders
• Family Problems
• Post-Traumatic Stress
• Relationship Issues
• Substance Abuse
• Child Behavior Problems
• Adjustment Issues
Odyssey provides individual counseling for children, adolescents and adults. Whenever possible, Odyssey strives to involve the entire family in treatment. Since a problem involving one member of the family will affect the other members, problems that individuals come to therapy for are viewed within the context of the whole family.
Does talking about one's problems really solve anything?
Over time, those who seek counseling experience a significant reduction in stress responses and an increase in coping resources. Mental health, substance abuse and prevention programs have been shown to lower health care costs, reduce and avert the use of alcohol and drugs, increase employment and reduce crime. Addressing the mental health needs of the community has a positive impact on the life of the individual, the family and society.
