Grief/Bereavement: Unfortunately loss is an inevitable part of life and comes in many forms that can include an unexpected death, chronic illness, the end of a relationship, or loss of employment.  Grief is experienced differently by each of us in terms of duration, severity, and impact on functioning depending on the circumstances and our typical coping styles.  CrownTown Counseling offers guidance, education, tools, and support to grieving individuals in order to effectively navigate the stages of grief in ways that feel comfortable to the client.  

Military: CrownTown Counseling has ample experience working with the military on local Navy installations as well as in private practice to treat active duty service members and their dependents who present to therapy with stressors and issues associated with the military lifestyle.  Although military members and their families have access to free and low-cost counseling through the government, concerns related to privacy and confidentiality often arise which have potential to impact an individual’s career.  CrownTown Counseling provides therapy services in a safe, supportive, and confidential setting that can offer some peace of mind to individuals seeking help.

Depression/Anxiety: Millions of adults suffer from some form of anxiety and depression during their lifetime and psychotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for these mental health conditions.  Through thorough biopsychosocial assessments, CrownTown Counseling treats anxiety and depressive disorders by utilizing client-centered and evidence-based interventions to identify and target contributing factors.  Clients are educated and offered effective tools and coping skills to better manage their symptoms as well as to improve their overall functioning.
