What is counseling?
Counseling involves exploring feelings, finding explanations and solutions,
exploring wishes and dreams, setting goals, improving coping skills, and
gaining clarity.
Most of us experience times when we need help dealing with problems and
issues that cause us emotional distress. When you have a problem or issue
that makes you feel overwhelmed, you may benefit from the assistance of
an experienced, trained professional. The counselors at Clarksville Counseling
Center offer the caring, professional assistance that people need during
stressful times.
