Sometimes talking through our feelings and emotions can be helpful as we deal with day to day stressors. Whether you or your child is experiencing situational or environmental stressors or are coping with life-long biological symptoms or past trauma, the highly trained team at Avista Counseling can support you through your challenges. Let us help you manifest the changes you desire. There is no dress rehearsal in life. Together we will create an individual and/or family plan of productivity and happiness and bring it to fruition.
Avista means “vision” in Portuguese. Everyone should be able to imagine a world where they feel in control and optimistic about what’s ahead. All people have the capacity to learn and grow. Let us help you attain your goals and find freedom from the obstacles in your world and relationships through individual and/or family therapies.
We have a team of professionals who specialize in child and adolescent treatment modalities as well as in adult-based approaches. Our clinicians have 20+ years of experience working in schools. If you are a parent and believe your child needs counseling support, please reach out today. We have immediate openings for individual and family work.
