My weekly therapy session is my reality check with life. 

It is a fitness center for emotional health, and my therapist is my coach, who with unconditional love, helps me sort out the daily stresses of life.

My therapist is a uniquely gifted counselor… attuned and present for each session; always attentive…providing a safe, warm, and nurturing environment.  [One of my therapist's gifts] is the ability to allow a person to be heard, while providing gentle and illuminating guidance… My therapist employs a vast knowledge of many different techniques, and blends them beautifully to… assist a client to learn, embrace, and grow in the moment 

…It has been over 18 months since I have seen my therapist on a regular basis, and the many insights shared during our work together are still so clear to me.  I often reflect on how I respond to many of life’s challenges today versus how I would have reacted in years past…I hear my therapist's words at crucial times and feel empowered to make the choice that is best for me.

 Some of the many benefits I have realized as a direct result of my work with a therapist include:

Having the confidence to express my feelings and needs at the appropriate time, in a calm, loving, and respectful way, rather than suppressing them until an outburst filled with anger and resentment would erupt.

• Understanding when I felt hurt that the current event was [frequently] a “trigger” for some past wounds that were never properly felt and healed.
• Enjoying healthier, better-grounded relationships with family members and friends.
• Appreciating my feelings for what they are, rather than trying to rationalize and file them away
• Respecting myself and knowing what behaviors I would accept from others and what behaviors I would not.  Effectively communicating and setting healthy boundaries.

My therapist truly cares for the well being of her clients.  If you are considering counseling and are serious about changing your life for the better, you owe it to yourself to [contact Nassau Guidance and Counseling].

If there was a way to make your life more meaningful and fulfilling, wouldn’t you do it?  Well, that’s what counseling is all about. (Since receiving counseling through the Nassau Guidance and Counseling Center, my relationships have improved; most of all therapy has given me the insight to make better choices in my life.)

I highly recommend it for everyone.  Life is just too short to live it any other way.
