Mind Evolution Mental Health Counseling

Our behaviors can change in order to better adapt to changing situations, the requirements of society or to find greater comfort in life.

The tasks of behavior change are to identify areas in need of change, learn about options, then to enact these changes through thinking, feeling and action.  The Mental Health Counseling service provides assessment, counseling, consultation & case management as ways to assist in these changes.  We utilize relational counseling, cognitive behavioral approaches, and integrate research into practice through flexible counseling styles.

Areas where counseling can be of assistance include:
     Family counseling & adjustment to loss
     Emotional health/ anger issues
     Compliance with the criminal justice system
     Substance abuse as adolescents or adults
     DWI assessments
     Managing relationships 
     Reducing conflict and stress
     Increasing self awareness & competencies
