Counseling Services

Gulf Bend Center’s Counseling services are provided by highly trained Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC) to help individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing emotional, social, behavioral, or relationship difficulties. Counseling can be helpful in many ways. It can help you better understand your own thoughts and emotions, increase positive communication between couples and family members, learn skills to deal with traumatic events, and learn ways to handle stressful situations. All aspects of your counseling are kept private and confidential as outlined by federal and state law. This includes the scheduling of appointments, record keeping, and any issues discussed in sessions. Some issues treated include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, family issues, stress management, communication needs, and career issues.
