Janet offers individual therapy for adults
In counseling you have a relationship with someone who is trained to help you accomplish your mental health and wellness goals. Counselors work with clients on strategies to overcome obstacles and personal challenges. You can address themes that have come up in your social and emotional development. Whether you are concentrating on an ongoing mental health issue, or just need a place to sort through a current problem, a counselor can be a non-judgmental, compassionate, safe person who can help empower you to change.

co-dependency
a habit of over-focusing on another, and not staying in touch with our own needs and feelings

this obsessive focusing leads to compulsive care-taking behavior of the other, and neglect of ourselves
