Counseling can be very difficult and the first step is a
tremendous victory to better mental health.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting or making the memories
insignificant. Healing means refocusing.
Marriage does more to promote life satisfaction
than money, success, or even children.

MANEUVERING THROUGH RELATIONSHIPS
What is a relationship? You cannot be in this world without being in one or more relationships. Parent/child, husband/wife, teacher/student, boss/employee, I could go on. We have therapists who specialize in your needs. Relationships are very important and finding the right mix, communication styles and boundaries is important. Instead of struggling with a relationship, talk about it with a licensed professional therapist who can guide you through trials and focus on solutions as well as results. We all need to download our thoughts at times and get a sense that someone is really listening to us. Spending time talking to a therapist should
only enhance your relationship skills and provide you with a possible different narrative you may have not considered. Take some time today and think about how often you make time to discuss your relationship and really think about how it is affecting your mental health and the behavioral choices you make every day. We have gifted, licensed therapists ready to help you work on your relationships. Our goal is to help you own your past decisions and move forward making wise, thought-out choices.
STRESS/ANXIETY
We all deal with Stress and Anxiety to some extent. It is when the symptoms occur more often and perhaps stop you in your tracks at times. Stress can have a profound effect on your overall health and behavior responses. I encourage you to S.T.O.P., which is an acronym for Stop, Take a step back, observe what is happening and proceed with a healthy behavior, which will give you a healthy outcome. Many times, we react from our anxiety with frustration that can cause a domino effect. I’m stressed, so I speak with frustration and stress you out, and so on. Relational counseling is sitting down with a counselor or social worker and dumping your stress on them. Allowing them to give you and equip you with healthy coping skills and the tools you need to destress. Other ways to deal with stress is relaxation skills and grounding techniques. Both serve their purpose in combatting stress. But first, you must set up an appointment and find a well fitting therapist. Sometimes the first therapist you try isn’t a good fit. Don’t be discouraged, but rather be encouraged that you know what personality will work best with yours. Here at Crossing Paths, we want you to feel comfortable in your session and get the most out of your time with your therapist. You should feel comfortable, motivated, and equipped to make wise behavioral choices.
RAISING SUCCESSFUL CHILDREN
Most if not all parents want to raise a successful child. The fact is that every child develops at their own rate of success, some better than others. When your child struggles along the way, wouldn’t you do just about anything to help them and protect them. Our children deal with so many issues in the world today. Boundaries, fitting in, stress, bullies, social media, working parents, being “perfect” physically, dangers of social media, cameras documenting everything
they do (good and bad) and being shared on social media. All kids want to be involved in social media, but how do you monitor it? It is difficult to navigate this and stay away from the downside of social media. Most parents today discipline their children by taking this option away as punishment. I feel this is an opportunity to teach our children. Let’s raise good and healthy children together. Make an appointment today for your child to explore new ways of communicating and challenging them to be the best person they can be in the world around them.
GRIEF/LOSS/TRAUMA
After losing a loved one, we realize that our Plan A turned into Plan B. You can stay with Plan A, fearing that life as it was must stay the same. But most of us will then experience grief trauma and the symptoms are expressed physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Plan B is the unnatural path, but the one we must accept to reduce grief symptoms. Let’s meet on the path and face the symptoms together. It’s not an easy path, but it is a healthy way to grieve
your loss.
