Counselling is offered to aide clients in their search for personal growth and healthy relationships within cross-cultural,  family and youth issues.  Learning outcomes from counselling sessions can lead to overcoming domestic violence, family dysfunction, substance abuse, gender issues and behavioral problems.  Clients will learn how to make decisions to become efficient problem solvers as they tell their stories in a safe environment.  A variety of counselling techniques are used such as Adlerian, Person-Centered, Feminist, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  We provide counselling for issues dealing with violence,  environmental, and biological, needs for a person.  Clients can learn how to maintain and enhance self-esteem, identity acquisition, sexuality and independence. Clients will learn how to understand world views, and become more aware of the history and impact of oppression.  Clients will acquire skills to facilitate group interaction that promotes self-understanding and behavior change for individuals in a group.

Note to clients and their guardians: This is a treatment and educational center only.  We do not offer any promises or guarantees because it is unethical to do so.  Education takes time and learned skills need to be acted upon and rehearsed many times throughout one’s lifetime in order to fully benefit from the experiences and learned skills.  Clients will gain more benefit  if  they  apply themselves.
