"I was dealing with a lot of emotional turmoil ... When I called Nassau Guidance, I was dealing with a lot of emotional turmoil. During this period of time, I started to notice certain patterns and behaviors within myself that I knew I wanted to change, but didn't know how. I can't say enough about how this experience has changed my life. Growing up in an alcoholic family, I had no idea how much my childhood had shaped my life as an adult. Kathleen Dwyer Blair, my counselor, has given me my life back. I'm able to look at situations in a different way. When situations occur, I now know where certain feelings are coming from and why I am feeling a certain way. Before I started with Nassau Guidance, my emotions controlled me. I now control my emotions and the way I handle stressful situations. I now make better choices when it comes to the people I have in my life. I have learned how to take care of myself with the concept of "self-caring" without feeling like I am being "selfish." This concept has changed not only me, but my relationships with my family and friends. Before counseling I would back away from conflict. One year later, I am able to face conflict head-on and talk about issues that may arise. Hence, I actually have less conflict in my life. I would highly recommend to anyone to make the call to Nassau Guidance. The staff is extremely friendly. They really do want to help. They will connect you to a counselor that is the perfect match for you. It was the best thing I could have done for myself, my family and my children."
