Rose Falcone Dowie, Licensed Professional Counselor

Reaching out is a victory! People seek counseling for a variety of reasons. Often, people seek therapy for the first time because someone close to them has suggested they get help. Others seek counseling because they have identified specific goals or issues that they wish to work on. Many people are struggling with common issues. Sometimes all we need is just a little help to navigate the challenges that life presents. What we ultimately learn is that life's obstacles add up to exactly what we need to develop into who we were meant to be. If trauma has invaded your journey, breathe...help is here. I can help you lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we cannot change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to use those situations to help you grow, and understand life's twists and turns.

Therapy sessions should be a safe place to explore thoughts and feelings without judgement. It's important that the therapist can relate to the client and that the client feels comfortable enough to open up.
