Sometimes counseling is about repairing a broken heart or healing a wounded soul. Sometimes it’s about getting un-stuck, un-blockaded, un-tired and un-confused and being able to see and take the best next step. Sometimes counseling is just about growing – growing in wisdom and understanding, maybe even stepping up to a new place in life, a new calling, a new relationship.
