Personal growth starts with understanding the client's feelings and relationships, and sorting out what's important to her. Our counseling begins with listening to our client– her needs, concerns, and goals. We’ll discuss the challenges that keep her from reaching her goals and we’ll explore possible solutions.

Areas commonly explored in personal growth include:

• Domestic violence and abuse,
• Trauma and posttraumatic stress,
• Substance abuse and addiction,
• Child abuse and neglect,
• Relationship issues, including conflicts with a mother’s family, friends, the birthfather of her children, or with a significant other,
• Mental health and mental illness,
• Changes in identity and role as a parent, and
• Improving sense of self and feelings of mastery and competence.
