Trauma Counseling & PTSD Therapy (Telehealth)
Trauma can come from one overwhelming event—or from a long season of stress and pain. PTSD symptoms can show up in the mind and body, even when you “know you’re safe.”
You might notice:
- Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts
- Feeling on edge, jumpy, or easily startled
- Avoiding reminders of what happened
- Numbness, disconnection, or feeling “shut down”
- Anger, shame, or difficulty trusting others
In counseling, we take a trauma-informed approach. That means we move at a pace that feels safe and steady, and we focus on helping you build coping tools while also processing what you’ve been through.
If appropriate, you may also benefit from evidence-based trauma therapy such as EMDR.
Counseling for Abuse (Physical, Mental, Emotional, Verbal)
Abuse can leave deep wounds—especially when it happens in relationships that were supposed to be safe. You may be dealing with fear, self-doubt, guilt, anxiety, or a constant feeling of “walking on eggshells.”
Telehealth counseling can help you:
- Rebuild your sense of safety and confidence
- Understand trauma responses (like people-pleasing, shutdown, or hypervigilance)
- Set healthy boundaries and recognize red flags
- Reduce shame and strengthen your voice
If you are in immediate danger: call 911.
Grief Counseling & Loss Support
Grief is not a straight line, and there is no “right” timeline. Whether you lost a loved one, experienced a breakup, miscarriage, job loss, or another major change, grief can affect sleep, appetite, focus, and motivation.
Grief counseling can help you:
- Process what happened without pressure to “move on”
- Handle waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness
- Create healthy routines while honoring what you’ve lost
- Find meaning and hope again, step by step
Career Counseling for Teens & Adults (Telehealth)
Career counseling is not only for choosing a major or finding a job. It can also help if you feel stuck, burned out, unsure, or pulled in too many directions. Many people in Houghton balance work, school, family, and community responsibilities—and it can get heavy.
For teens: career counseling can help with strengths, interests, confidence, and next-step planning—especially when big decisions feel stressful.
For adults: career counseling can support career transitions, job stress, workplace conflict, boundary-setting, and recovery from burnout.
Career counseling may help with:
- Career transitions and decision-making
