Susan B. Foley, PhD., Marriage and Family Counseling

What is Counseling?

Counseling brings together the healing resources of many disciplines in order to assist people who are experiencing emotional difficulties and/or problem- causing life situations. Viewing the human person as comprising body,mind and spirit, we are concerned with each individuals relationship to self and others, as well as the dignity and worth of each person. We work to help people identify and achieve goals for positive development. We also realize that relationships of all types can be" difficult at times" and learning new skills of communication and conflict resolution can be quite helpful to every relationship.
