Adolescent Counsling
Making the transition from childhood to adulthood presents unique challenges. Occasionally, a teenager will express a desire to get some counseling help, but more often it is a parent or teacher or coach or youth group leader who identifies this need in an adolescent.
Many times parents are seeking information that would make a distinction between normal teenage behavior, and behavior that has crossed into something more and requires professional help. Adolescents struggle with similar issues as children and also:
• exhibiting a significant drop in academic achievement
• binge drinking, abusing drugs or other addictive behavior
• showing signs of an eating disorder
• struggling with peer pressure or change in peer affiliation
• intense mood swings or reoccurring signs of anxiety or depression
• constant conflict with authority figures
• engaging in unhealthy relationships
• volatile, angry or physically acts against others
• engaging in self-harming behavior

Child Counseling
Children come to therapy at the Samaritan Counseling Center because a caring adult like a parent, teacher, relative, pastor or friend has identified something in the child's behavior, emotional responses or attitude that is of a concern.

• reactive symptoms of stress after traumatic incident
• problematic behavior at school despite intervention
• regularly defying authority or pattern of breaking rules
• significant loss due to death or divorce
• recurring anxiety that interfers with normal activities
• chronic illness or serious injury
• concentration problems, including ADD or ADHD
• depression or low self esteem
• high levels of aggression or acting out against other children
• having difficulty building social relationships or being bullied

Family Counseling
Family therapy involves parents meeting with one or more children to help improve their interactions and resolve conflicts and unhealthy patterns of relating. Sometimes one member of the family is struggling with a life controlling problem and the whole family is impacted.
Family therapy is a way for parents to regain focus and shift priorities quickly. A family crisis or a major change like becoming a blended family will precipitate a need to address the impact on both a global basis and on an individual basis.

Marital Counseling
Many couples come to us for help with their marriage when they realize that they're a long way from the joy and love of their courtship and wedding.
Sometimes it is a crisis, such as the discovery of an affair, that motivates people to make the call. Sometimes it has become painfully clear that their mutual affection and admiration have been eroded gradually through their years together.
Couples are often confused about how to respond and embarrassed that they have to ask for help. Our counselors have extensive training and experience in helping couples make good decisions in the crisis phase.
