Counseling, advising, and guidance are important services that can have a major impact on a person's life and a family's future. An effective counselor is one who serves as an advocate for the client, with the success and wellness of the client being the goal that is first and foremost in the eyes of the counselor. That is exactly why Counseling Connection exists: We are licensed clinicians and professionals who have the best interests of those served as our top priority, whose primary focus is to help you make the best decisions in life. The goal of each of our providers is to work themselves out of a job with each client served - help them find the pathway to a brighter future so our services are no longer needed.
Counseling Connection, Inc. provides support to children, adolescents, and adults with a compassionate and caring attitude and offers a host of services that include:
We employ a range of techniques based on experiential relationship building, dialogue, communication and behavior change that are designed to improve the mental health of a client, or to improve group relationships (such as in a family). The cognitive behavioral approach is a technique in which engage in dialogue with the client to identify maladaptive perceptions, beliefs, and reactions with the aim of identifying and addressing the destructive negative emotions and problematic dysfunctional behaviors. Trauma intervention may require a different approach. The psychodynamic approach’s primary focus is to reveal the subconscious content of a client's psyche in an effort to alleviate causal factors of tension. Behavioral therapy focuses on changing maladaptive patterns of behavior to improve emotional responses, cognitions, and interactions with others. Christian counseling integrates Biblical principles into the approach, seeking healing and restoration from the Lord being an integral part of the process, while exploring the issues of concern to the client. There is no “one shoe fits all” approach to counseling, as each individual is unique and must be treated as such. The response of the individual to the treatment also may call for blending of different approaches.
