Life throws unexpected things at us. Sometimes, we can manage on our own. Other times we need help from family or friends. Sometimes, we need more.

Imagine pulling out of your driveway. Suddenly the car makes a clunking noise. Then shuts off. And, now it wont start. You probably need a trusted mechanic to get your car working again.

Good mechanics get your car going again quickly. And they are good at it! Counselors are like mechanics for people. We are specifically trained to help people find freedom from obstacles. It doesn’t matter if they are immediate or long-term roadblocks. Individual counseling - also called mental health counseling, therapy, or psychotherapy - is simply how we help someone find the freedom to move forward.
Individual Counseling Can Help With:
 What Is Counseling Like?
  • Anger
  • Anxiety
  • Behavioral Challenges
  • Compulsions
  • Depression
  • Dual-Diagnosis
  • Life-Long Roadblocks
  • Relationship Issues
  • And More!
Every counselor is a little bit different. However, there are some similarities. Every counselor at Magill Counseling Associates:
  • Respects you as a person – We all have different goals in life. We work with you to help you meet your goals
  • Provide honest and practical feedback – We provide new perspective and tools. We also help you find new options you didn’t see before. Sometimes you might learn things about yourself that you didn’t know. This helps you to move forward with your life
  • Provide support – We provide a space for you to process your life
  • Values confidentiality – Everything you say stays in the room with your counselor. Your friends or family wont know you see a counselor unless you tell them. There are only 1 or 2 legally required exceptions to this (your counselor can explain these to you)

 


Couples Counseling

We know the stories of Cinderella, knights in shining armor, and rescuing the princess. We enjoy these stories because they are, frankly, a change from reality. Relationships are much more difficult in real-life. This let-down is even bigger when conflict shows up. Arguments, disagreements, laziness, and cheating all make relationships seem, well, impossible. However, couples counseling can show the way forward!

What is Couples Counseling?
Couples counseling is simply meeting with your partner and a counselor. The counselor is specifically trained to help improve relationships. The focus is on what each person in the relationship can do a little different to help the relationship improve. Sure, people will change as the result of couples counseling. But the focus is on the relationship.

Sometimes, a couple will benefit from meeting together as a couple and also each meeting with their own individual counselor.


Couples Counseling Can Help With:Your Couples Therapist:
  • Long-term or ongoing conflict
  • Infidelity
  • Frequent arguments
  • Arguing over little things
  • Constant criticism
  • Contempt for your partner
  • Stonewalling conversations
  • Defensiveness
  • Moving from a Good relationship to a Great relationship
  • And more!
  • Listens – We listen to both sides. We work to understand where each person is coming from
  • Educates – We provide information and skills to help the relationship move forward
  • Problem solves – We work together with both people to find workable solutions for your relationship
  • Supports – Sometimes all that is needed is space to talk through an argument. Your couples therapist can provide space for the difficult conversations
  • Refers – A person may need to meet with an individual counselor and a couples therapist. We can provide individual counseling or a referral that will best fit your needs.
  • Values confidentiality – Everything you say stays in the room with your counselor. Your family friends, coworkers, etc. wont know you see a counselor unless you tell them. There are only 1 or 2 legally required exceptions to this (your counselor can explain these to you).

Christian Counseling

Life’s difficult. It is even more difficult when anxiety, depression, anger, frustrations, and conflict creep in.

What we believe can be a profound help. It is a source of strength and hope. Faith can provide a light on the way forward!

But this isn’t always the case. Sometimes what we believe only seems to make things worse. What we believe can cause self-doubt, questioning, and self-criticism. So what can we do? We need a way to look at how our actions and beliefs relate. Sometimes they line up. Sometimes they don’t. When they don’t we can feel anxious, irritable, upset, etc. Christian counseling provides a way to look at how what we do and what we believe line up in helpful and unhelpful ways.



So, What is Christian Counseling?

Christian counseling is an approach to counseling that can be “added on” to other types of counseling. Christian counseling can take place in individual, couples, family, and group settings.
