My name is Laurie Sowers. I am a counselor who works with teens and adults on a wide range of issues including emotional, marital, family, substance abuse, legal, and financial problems. Our facility is handicap accessible and decorated for a comfortable visit. Counseling is about discovering your own goals not being judged or criticized. You will be treated with respect and whatever is discussed between us will be held in confidence. People choose therapy when they are struggling with life stressors, depression, anxiety, coping difficulties, interpersonal conflicts or low self-esteem. The types of things that we work on in counseling are communication skills, grief recovery, problem-solving strategies, relationship skills and anger management skills. For parents dealing with difficult children or teenagers, I can provide family therapy and parent effectiveness training. If you are in a violent or abusive relationship, you probably feel isolated and scared; counseling can help you deal with this problem. We have office hours Monday-Friday.
