KishHealth Outpatient Counseling

Everyone Goes Through Difficult Times

Individual Therapy
If you or a loved one is feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed you should know that you can heal your life. If your heart is hurting over the loss of a loved one or a family crisis, you don’t have to be alone. At KHS Counseling Services we know how to listen, and we know how to give you practical help, hope and strength during difficult times.

Adolescent Concerns
Adolescents grow and change like the incoming tide, moving forward, retreating, moving forward more, falling back. In our culture, children are exposed to many emotionally charged situations that can upset this natural rhythm, challenging even the most secure, well-balanced child. Our trained therapists can assist teenagers and their parents in navigating the rough waters and tough choices they may encounter during this period in their lives.

Substance Abuse
Assessment, Referral and Education
When alcohol or drug abuse becomes the problem the first step is often a knowledgeable counselor who can help you and your family determine treatment needs and options. We empower you to find effective solutions to break out of destructive patterns and move toward recovery.

Family Matters
Families, no matter what shape or size, take time and effort to sustain. Whether you need assistance with beginning a relationship, enhancing a relationship, parenting, caring for an aging parent, blended families, family of origin concerns, or divorce, our trained, caring team of therapists can help. Let us show you and your family how to build on your strengths to raise happy and healthy children, to build a stronger marriage, and to communicate with and understand each other better. We have experience working with families in negotiating conflicts, working through a crisis, and coping with major life changes.
