Therapy is personal and unique to each client. Most people seeking counseling are high-functioning adults that are just looking for a little help. At Jupiter Counseling we will look at your current concerns, where you are now, and where you most want to be. Our approach is warm and empathetic, and draws upon our clients' unique strengths and abilities. Together we look at areas in life that are not working for our client and find solutions that work.
Some of the most common reasons clients decide to contact a therapist: - For personal growth - To develop new patterns of behavior and decision making - To gain self acceptance, self-trust, patience, and freedom from anxiety - To gain support and help through the process of relationship recovery - To heal old wounds affecting present day-to-day life - To address grief and loss issues
We incorporate an individualized combination of theories and techniques, and create a "map" of how you are currently getting your needs met, how you may "interrupt" the process of getting them met, and how you can begin making better choices for your life. We can help you resolve issues that are negatively affecting your life, and as you are working through these issues, give you the help and support you need to cope. We encourage learning, and provide you with new tools, ideas and insights. Exploring your strengths and seeing new possibilities can truly make a difference in your life and your future.

Group Counseling
Group counseling involves a small group of people who meet together on a weekly basis with one or more trained therapists, to discuss their issues, struggles and problems. Groups focus on a specific topic or area of counseling. When people come into a group and interact freely with group members under the skilled direction of a professional counselor, the group is able to give support, offer alternatives, or gently confront the issues of each individual. Group counseling has been found to be a very effective means of treatment, and for some, the best form of treatment.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
