Counseling with Samantha Adjekum, LCPC
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling, also known as psychotherapy and talk therapy, is a collaborative process between therapist and client with the goal to facilitate change and improve the clients quality of life. Individual counseling is for many different disorders and challenges including from adjusting during a transitional period to depression. We provide screenings to assess for disorders such as depression and anxiety to prevent potentially serious consequences. We provide additional assessments and screenings for other mental health concerns and work with couples to facilitate healthier relationships and good communication skills.
Group Work
Group counseling provides an opportunity to share experiences, learn perspectives, and experiment with new behaviors in a safe and supportive environment. Many women find that group therapy not only provides the support they need but also allows them to finally realize that they aren’t alone in how they are feeling. While we promote group therapy for many there are times when groups aren’t appropriate for individuals which is why we have all potential participants complete an assessment for appropriateness.
Online Counseling
Online counseling services when combined with Cognitive Behavior Therapy, can be used effectively for a variety of clinical issues
from depression to anxiety and other experienced stressful events. Online counseling overcomes barriers that may keep some from seeking therapy such as limited mobility, limited access, busy schedule and for those uncomfortable with going to physically see a therapist in the traditional setting.
For those interested in online counseling as long as you have an internet connection with a video-enabled device in a private place, services can be initiated.
