Therapy allows Emotional ventilation
One of the biggest benefits to receiving counseling and therapist services at Choices is developing the ability to emotionally ventilate your feelings. In sessions, you are always encouraged to feel however you feel.
Your emotions are your own internal GPS. They will lead you where you need to go and your job is to listen to them. Happy, sad or angry all of your feelings are valid and are there for a reason. When you learn to work with your emotions instead of against them the benefits are endless.
"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways" Sigmund Freud
Therapy Can Help
Talk Therapy
The Best Therapy
Talk Therapy
The intent of therapy is to change your thinking process. If the vast majority of your thoughts are negative, it is only a matter of time before this causes problems in your life.
The problems may be complicated, but the solutions are simple. The path to wellness will be laid out for you and it will be your choice what you do next.
Therapist sessions at Choices focus on adapting and changing your thinking. Therapists will also equip you with the ability to identify and evaluate your thinking patterns and change them permanently.
Your Success
The Best Therapy
Talk Therapy
Success rates for therapy vary depending on the type of therapist and the motivation of the individual. When clients follow the SHOW UP-TRY-REPEAT philosophy, it is successful most of the time.
In order for therapy to work, the person must enter the therapy process with an open mind and be prepared to work hard. Depression, Trauma and Anxiety are tough to beat, but we help people do it every day.
"Some people can find a problem in every solution, while others will find a solution for every problem"
Success is achieved in small, daily, incremental steps. Time will go by no matter what, so why not make the most of it?
