There are many issues that can cause someone to consider seeking individual counseling. The common thread in all of them is a desire to change something in your life. Often we get to a place in our lives that we begin to doubt that change is possible. We need the perspective and guidance of another person to restore the hope of change. We may need to ask some tough questions of ourselves and we will need a safe place to be able to examine the answers. We also need time for the changes we desire to "stick", to become our new reality.
