  • Life transitions
  • Identity formation
  • Substance misuse
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Stress management
  • Trauma and PTSD

Over time, every couple will experience fluctuations in their level of closeness and harmony. Couples counseling can help resolve conflicts and heal wounds ranging from basic concerns of stagnation to serious expressions of aggressive behavior. Overall, couples counseling can slow your downward spiral and establish realistic expectations and goals for a healthy relationship.

A significant benefit of group counseling is the understanding that you are not alone in the life challenges you're facing. Being involved in a group of peers who are experiencing similar situations increases your understanding of struggles surrounding the topic and illustrates the variety of possible solutions available. Groups typically have up to eight participants and one or two group leaders. Discussions revolve around common topics including:

  • Emotional regulation
  • Social Anxiety
  • Self-esteem
  • Grief and loss

Mental Health Screening

While not a substitute for counseling, the screening may bring clarity to the issues you’re struggling with. The Counseling Center does not receive your results, although you are welcome to print or save your results for use in your counseling appointments. Receive your free mental health screening in less than five minutes through our partnership with MindWise Innovations.

You can also call the Counseling Center at 903.886.5145 to talk to someone about your results.
